TODD STONE becomes 4th MLA to endorse BC Liberal leadership candidate Kevin Falcon

 


THE FOLLOWING IS a media release sent out, in the early evening, last night (June 16th)

 

 

Today, Todd Stone, the BC Liberal MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, endorsed Kevin Falcon to be the next leader of the BC Liberal Party.

 

"Today I am proud to announce my support for Kevin Falcon,” said Stone. “I know the hard work that lies ahead for the next leader and I believe Kevin has what it takes to lead both the party and the province through these challenging times.”

 

Stone was first elected to the legislature in 2013 and was a candidate in the 2018 BC Liberal Leadership election. He served as Minister of Transportation from 2013 to 2017 and is currently the Opposition Critic for Jobs, Economic Recovery, and Innovation.

 

“Kevin will champion big, bold ideas.” continued Stone “[He is] someone with a vision for British Columbia that propels us forward. Someone who won't just settle for an economic recovery, but actually thinks about building for our next generation.”

 

Falcon and Stone were in Vancouver to make this announcement one month after the official launch of the Kevin Falcon Leadership Campaign.

 

“I have a great amount of respect for Todd, both professionally and personally,” said Falcon. “We’re driven by the same desire to create a better future for our daughters and children right across this province. Todd and I want a BC for all of our children that gives them the same opportunities to succeed right here at home in British Columbia”

 

Stone joins MLAs Mike Morris, Ian Paton, and Trevor Halford in endorsing Falcon to be the next BC Liberal Leader. Falcon has also been endorsed by his campaign co-chairs, former Mayor of Surrey Dianne Watts and former BC Liberal candidate Puneet Sandhar.

 

“Kevin knows how to get the job done,” concluded Stone. “He will recruit the next generation of young, diverse, passionate candidates to help him implement [his] vision for BC.”

 

The BC Liberal Party will vote for their new leader between February 3rd to 5th, 2022.

PEATS: I am writing with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community

The following is a copy of a letter sent to me, which was sent to BC’s Minister of Health Adrian Dix. It is with regards to the impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic in Dawson Creek.   Dear Minister,   I am writing to you today with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community. The closure, scheduled for the summer of 2024, is a result of the utterly burdensome terms and conditions imposed by the bureaucratic Northern Health. As a result, Dawson Creek stands to lose four doctors who have made this city their home, and who wish to continue serving the people of our community.   The impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic is a significant blow to our city. Not only will it result in the loss of highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals, but it will also deprive thousands of Dawson Creek residents of access to their primary physicians. At a time when healthcare se

KRUGELL: BC NDP turns its attention from BC United to BC Conservatives

The BC NDP turning its attention, from BC United, to BC Conservatives was reported over the weekend from a variety of sources. It is the result of the surge in the BC Conservative's polling numbers and the subsequent collapse of BC United. The NDP has largely ignored the BC Conservatives, instead they opt to talk about issues directly or attack their old foes BC United. Practical politics says that parties closer to the centre tend to ultimately prevail over the long haul. They do wane but often make comebacks. A good example is the federal Liberals going from third party to government in 2015. Centrism has a lot of appeal on voting day. The NDP shifting its fire from United to Conservative is a reflection of reality. BC United did buy advertising online and radio over the last few months. Did that shift the polls back to them? Nope. The reality is today, the BC Conservatives are the party of the Opposition, and day by day the Conservatives are looking like a party not ready to fig
