“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

‘Businesses are barely keeping their doors open (some no longer are), families are struggling, municipalities are in trouble financially. We need to get on a course of recovery, not a provincial election’ ~~ Conservative leader Trevor Bolin

 

The Conservative Party of BC will be carefully watching Premier John Horgan and the NDP, in the coming days, regarding the escalating rumours of a snap election ... that from leader Trevor Bolin, speaking from Ft. St. John, after I asked him earlier today about the party’s preparation for a possible fall election.

“I certainly know why the Premier would consider calling a snap election, and under other circumstances, I (as they Leader of the Conservative Party) would be in favour ... however, now is not the time to play politics”, he stated.

“British Columbians businesses are barely keeping their doors open (some no longer are), families are struggling, municipalities are in trouble financially and we need to get on a course of recovery, not a provincial election”, he continued.

While not indicating any specific numbers, when asked about individuals expressing an interest in running for the party, he stated, “We, as Conservatives, have spent the last month working with candidates for nominations in a variety of communities across the Province, and this will continue”.

Still, he indicated, “I truly hope the Premier will do the right thing and put his dreams of a majority government on hold, and focus on helping British Columbians, not forcing them to the polls.

The Conservative leader then continued, “There is plenty of time for an election in 2021 -- as early as February/March when the byelection for Surrey-White Rock should be held – or next Spring after the people of BC, and businesses, have seen some recovery, after struggling from COVID”.


Whenever the next election is called Bolin is letting it be known his party will be ready.

 “Under me, the Conservatives, supported by the great people of British Columbia, are ready to answer the mandate people so very much deserve”.

“Let’s work together to get this Province back on track, add long term jobs, sustainable growth, rein in the taxes we have all been forced to live with the last two decades and ensure prosperity for every British Columbian.”

Still, as for talk of any early election, Conservative leader Trevor Bolin thinks Horgan should to focusing on other things.

“For once, please focus on the people ... not your politics”, he concluded.

Absence of BC NDP Transportation Minister, and the MLA whose riding this issue falls within, demonstrates a continued lack of care and attention for rural BC

       BC Government photo More than 600 residents of Harrop and Glade, B.C. face the prospect of being cut off from essential services as a looming ferry strike threatens their livelihoods and well-being. Pete Davis, Conservative MLA for Kootenay Rockies is calling on the local NDP MLA for Kootenay Central and Minister of Rural Services, Brittny Anderson, to put rural communities first. “ This isn’t just about logistics; it’s about the people who depend on this ferry to access food, work, and critical services ,” Davis said. “ The residents of Harrop and Glade deserve leadership. Their local MLA and Minister must stand up for them and ensure their voices are heard .” Davis is urging the government to take swift action to bring both sides together and prioritize a resolution that avoids further disruption. “ It’s time for the government to lead, support rural communities, and secure a fair deal for everyone involved ,” Davis added.

CTV: Year-end interview with John Rustad on BC Conservatives' remarkable 2024

It’s been quite the year for BC Conservative Leader John Rustad – his party soaring from less than two per cent of the popular vote and no seats in the 2020 election to nearly winning this year’s election ... ... He insists he’ll support free votes by his members – and what sets his party apart is its willingness to allow such free speech. “That’s a big thing that you’ll see between us and the NDP – you will never see them say anything outside of their message box,” said Rustad. “And that’s not how I want to do politics. I actually think it’s OK to have differences, it's OK for people to disagree. But we do agree on the big things, the things that are important for the people of British Columbia"...

FORSETH -- Trash talk of one uncouth individual causes a firestorm of opposing opinions

LANGUAGE WARNING: WOW … a few seconds – 8 words -- of uncouth and vulgar speech has brought about a firestorm of opposing opinions across social media. Those 8 words?  “ Get the f--- out of BC. You suck ”, were spoken by twice failed School Trustee (Nelson 2022 and Castlegar 2024) Emily Duggan, who is also, apparently, subject to a peace bond and ordered to stay away from an elementary school. I posted a story about this on my own political Facebook page , this morning (Sunday December 29th), and boy did it start a raft of comments, agreeing with her right to say what she did, but also firmly opposing her comment.  Here’s just a few examples: •    He has it coming. The narcissist •    Why? They're getting old enough to know that their Dad is well, well past his governing expiry date. He is genuinely hated in many corners of this polite land of ours . •    Trudeau is trash and he wrecked our country. You’re part of the problem! Peopl...
