“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

I heard a man speaking the language of common sense. A language that I understand and respect

Yes … it’s me again ... it's been a long time since my last post, however, I have been VERY busy



This Spring as you know, after long and hard consideration, I threw my support behind the one individual whom I believe will make the best leader for the province of BC – Ellis Ross!

Day after day my decision is backed up repeatedly by people like Canadian outdoor writer, professional big game outfitter, and television producer/host for many hunting shows, Jim Shockey who just this week said of Ellis ... “The first time I saw this man speak, I did not hear a politician’s smarmy, disingenuous, patronizing bull crap pandering voice, I heard a man speaking the language of common sense. A language that I understand and respect”

Or this from former Cariboo Chilcotin MLA and former 100 Mile House Mayor Donna Barnett ... “Ellis Ross does not subscribe to the divisive talk of a rural/urban divide. He represents all British Columbians … (he) is the only candidate that can beat the NDP. There's a new generation coming into politics, and Ellis is the candidate who can win over this new generation"

And from Mission City Councillor Ken Herar ... "Frankly, (Ellis Ross) is a breath of fresh air. The BC Liberal Party needs change, and a new voice that welcomes everyone in. We need to stop putting up barriers. Yesterday’s insider politics aren’t going to build a stronger BC Liberal party or a stronger BC.”


Others, from right across the province, are commenting on posts I make to social media, and saying things such as:

We will forever remember that you stood up in the house today and spoke on our behalf. You have our respect ~~ Susan P.

BC needs your leadership Mr Ross. Bridging and healing the gap between urban and rural is an important element for BC to become a powerhouse ~~ Cameron S.

I’m glad I happened upon your video. You are a really excellent speaker and tell people how it is. Something that doesn’t happen a lot nowadays ~~ Dawn P.

… today I'm sitting here listening to your views and feel relief. Relief that there is someone who wants to make a difference, someone like us that I can relate to and that isn't promising the moon … I absolutely love your commonsense approach. I feel your sincerity. I truly hope you will get the opportunity to make the changes our beautiful province needs ~~ Dianne F.

Ellis you are a breath of fresh air in the political world. I love what you stand for. Achievements through hard work is one of them. It’s funny as I’m a conservative and your voice speaks to me ~~ Brenda F


And then there is Ellis in his own words:

The 3 C’s; Competitor, Courage, and Change:

In the BC Legislature about the drastic social and economic impacts -- on 1000’s of forestry workers and their families – regarding the Forest Amendment Act the BC NDP RAMMED through with little to no debate:

I’ve done things in the last 17 years to minimize the impact of projects in BC. I’m not going to do it for votes. It’s about truth and honesty; it’s about transparency and honesty.

Making life affordable … taxes, taxes, taxes – fees, fees, fees. Government said they’d make life more affordable … when costs go up for business, they have to get passed on to consumers:

FORSETH: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

Conservative Economic Team Responds to Urgent Industry Concerns

 " For far too long, the BC NDP has ignored the economic challenges facing British Columbians. Manufacturing jobs are vanishing, forestry is in decline, and private sector employment growth has stagnated. Meanwhile, affordability has worsened for both families and businesses. British Columbians deserve better, and we’re here to deliver real solutions to rebuild our economy and create jobs that support everyday working people and their families ." – Gavin Dew, MLA and Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economy, Development, and Innovation.   December 3, 2024, Vancouver, BC – The Conservative economic team met today with business leaders and stakeholders to tackle critical issues impacting British Columbia’s economy. Attended by 9 critics from the Conservative Caucus, this meeting was convened by MLA Gavin Dew – Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economic Development, and Innovation - as a direct response to an October 30th open letter from seven of the province’s largest industry associations. ...

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
