“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

Let's be serious ... the Tyee is never going to have much positive to say about ANY conservative party

This morning the Tyee had a news story headlined, "Expect Things to Get Even Worse for the BC Conservatives.  Rustad’s gone. Next a divisive, unpredictable leader race."

Now let's be serious ... the Tyee is never going to have much positive to say about ANY conservative party ... whether the federal Conservatives, or the provincial Conservative Party of BC -- which is why I believe this story simply panders to the left side of the political spectrum that they tend to target with their stories.

Do I believe there will be candidates, letting their names stand, that will be divisive? I'd be a fool not to. That said, I believe there will be a range of candidates who will in fact be able to resonate with members and supporters that make up the membership of the BC Conservatives. 

I also believe that in the mix of candidates will be individuals who will be able to rise above petty, narrow, and conflict-ridden politics that can at times completely derail doing what actually most important ... appealing to the majority of BC residents necessary to WIN an election!

It has been a long time since the party actually had a leadership race with multiple candidates, and so there will be bound to be a few hick-ups along the way. Regardless, I look forward to the weeks ahead and the opportunity see who will let their name stand, and hopefully even find a candidate I can not only support, but work on their campaign.

So, to the The Tyee, I'll just say my fingers are crossed that you are wrong ... and let the leadership race begin

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story
