BC United leader Kevin Falcon
I recently asked a political acquaintance of mine, about their current involvement with BC United. I was much surprised with the response given the BC Liberals had been the recipient of a lot of their time and energy in the past. By request, their comments are posted anonymously:
I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United. Kevin’s poor judgement in ousting John Rustad from Caucus, and then publicly humiliating him, might be the most inept thing I have seen in BC politics ... and I’ve been involved in BC politics for a number of years!
I still think the impetus was John‘s involvement in the Ellis Ross leadership campaign for the BC Liberal Party, and how successful and respected (despite not winning) it was.
I am uncertain about the tenor of the current Conservative movement in North America. The once proud Republican Party in the United States has allowed itself to be led by a person who is morally, intellectually, emotionally and ethically bankrupt.
Conservative BC leader John Rustad
I see some threads of that amongst the fringes in Canada, and I would hate to see the fringes take over the Conservative Party of Canada, which was once well led by Mulroney and Harper.
If John can remind his BC Conservative candidates that they are running to serve everyone, and not just to advocate for personal single-issues, then I am hopeful.
When I see in vitro fertilization (IVF) being made illegal in Alabama (as one example) it scares me how things can go completely off the rails with the persistence of the single-issue gang.
The pendulum may have swung too far to the left, but autocracy is not the answer -- end of rant!
Rest assured, I see John as a thoroughly decent, thoughtful and thinking person.
Conservative Party "once well led by Mulroney and Harper"? He or she is kidding, right? Mulroney signed Canada on to the WEF Agenda 2030; and we're STILL trying to fix all the damage Harper did in HIS decade~long rampage!!
ReplyDeletePolitics EVERYWHERE in Canada, all the way from the Section 35 Indian Act Band Councils all the way to the PM in Ottawa, are entirely broken! How can they not be? ALL COLONIAL CONSTRUCTS!
I'm happy to see Canadians are finally WAKING UP however. I dearly hope it's not "too little too late".
Oh Canada, our home on Native Land!
