“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

ALAN FORSETH -- Let’s make history; let’s bring about Change That Can Win. Let’s elect Ellis Ross leader of the BC Liberal Party

 


Tomorrow I'm voting for the future of BC. I'll be voting for Ellis Ross and his vision of Change That Can Win.

After watching and listening to what he had to say for several months early last year, I joined his campaign and became an active volunteer.

Why?

I did so because I have always believed in grassroots politics, and that to me is what Ellis Ross represents. He doesn’t have any agenda other than the desire for British Columbia -- and British Columbians -- to have a shared voice in seeking a better province.

As he himself has said, he is not your typical politician.  He came from simple roots, he worked hard with his hands, he was knocked down more than once and got back up.

Through that he has faced many of the same challenges as so many of us have.

Ellis has traveled this great province from the north, to the Rockies, to the Island, to the Fraser Valley, and the lower mainland and the Capital region meeting with thousands of British Columbians.

He’s seen “Beautiful BC” at it’s best – and he’s seen it at it’s worst after raging forest fires and floods. He’s always been the first one there, long before the governing party, because he wanted to see for himself what people were facing, and what was needed to help.

Ellis Ross knows that wherever we live, we are all proud British Columbians – no matter what our background ... no matter what our job ... no matter where we’ve come from.

It’s been said before, and it’s just as true today ... Ellis Ross is the right man, in the right place, at the right time.

Join with me and let’s make history ... let’s bring about Change That Can Win ... vote for, and let’s elect, Ellis Ross ... leader of the BC Liberal Party.

RCMP gag order comes after BC NDP catch heat for diverted safe supply (Northern Beat)

In the wake of several high-profile police drug seizures of suspected safer supply that put the BC NDP government on the defensive last month, BC RCMP “E” division issued a gag order on detachments, directing them to run all communications on “hot button” public safety issues through headquarters in the lead-up to the provincial election. “It is very clear we are in a pre-election time period and the topic of ‘public safety’ is very much an issue that governments and voters are discussing,” writes a senior RCMP communications official in an email dated Mar. 11 in what appears to have gone out to all BC RCMP detachments . . . .

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

Baldrey: 2024 meets 1991? How B.C. election history could repeat itself (Times Colonist)

NOTE ... not the original image from Keith Baldrey's op/ed 1991 BC general election -- Wikipedia   A veteran NDP cabinet minister stopped me in the legislature hallway last week and revealed what he thinks is the biggest vulnerability facing his government in the fall provincial election. It’s not housing, health care, affordability or any of the other hot button issues identified by pollsters. "I think we are way too complacent,” he told me. “Too many people on our side think winning elections are easy.” He referenced the 1991 election campaign as something that could repeat itself. What was supposed to be an easy NDP victory then almost turned into an upset win for the fledgling BC Liberal Party. Indeed, the parallels between that campaign and the coming fall contest are striking ... CLICK HERE for the full story
