“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

BC GREEN PARTY – Were you able to catch the debate? Don’t worry, it’s not too late to check it out


Were you able to catch the debate? Don’t worry, it’s not too late to check it out. You can see the entire debate by clicking either of the links below:

Our three candidates covered a wide range of topics from Indigenous relations, to COVID-19 relief measures, to youth engagement, and gave the viewers an idea of what the BC Greens could do under their leadership.

Thank you to our community advocate groups who submitted questions to our candidates: Jill Tipping, the President and CEO of BC Tech; Veronica Martisius with BC Civil Liberties Association; and Scott Bernstein, Director of Policy with Canadian Drug Policy Coalition. These questions allowed for a diverse conversation and expansion on some very important issues.

I’d also like to thank Global News Reporter/Anchor Neetu Garcha for doing a fantastic job moderating the debate.

I really enjoyed listening to questions from people all across BC; it made me excited for the future of the BC Greens and this entire province to have leadership that truly represents everyone who calls BC home. 


Thank you to everyone who submitted questions for our candidates to address during the debate. We received over 500 submissions! Although it wasn’t possible to cover them all, we were able to address some of the common themes throughout the questions.

And finally, a reminder ... tomorrow, Sep 2nd at 11:59 PM is the last day to register to vote in the leadership contest. 

Members are automatically registered to vote in the contest. So, if you are already a member, you’re all set. 

Don’t miss out on your chance to have a say in choosing the next leader of the BC Greens.

Thanks so much for checking out the debate and participating in the Leadership 2020 contest. I can’t wait to vote with all of you starting Sep. 5th at 1:00 PM until Sep 13th at 11:59 PM.

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process.

Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red

Rob Shaw: Eby should be worried why mudslinging missed the mark in B.C. election

  Why did a BC NDP election campaign overwhelmingly focused on attacking the character of the BC Conservatives fail to prevent a blue wave that came within 27 votes of toppling the governing party? Partly because voters didn’t much care for, or about, all the New Democrat mudslinging. They were just hopping mad about some very specific issues ... CLICK HERE for the full story
