“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.

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
