“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.

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.

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...
