“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:

And this, regarding a name change for the BC Liberals: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeThatCanWin/videos/531822701302511

 

NOW … here are three last things I'd like to leave you with:

1) Not a member yet? Go to www.SupportEllis.ca so that you’ll be able to vote for him on the leadership ballot

2) AND if you're already a member? Please send this email to friends and family. Let them know why YOU made the choice to support the leadership bid of Ellis Ross … and encourage them to sign up at www.SupportEllis.ca

3) LIKE and SHARE www.facebook.com/ChangeThatCanWin ... and https://twitter.com/ellisbross


The DEADLINE for NEW members to sign up is December 17th so please don’t set this aside for later … do it right now.

Thank you!

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
