“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 -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
