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.

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. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... 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
