Today, August 18th, is coincidentally John Rustad's birthday. Why coincidentally? It happens to be the day Mr. Rustad was kicked out of the BC Liberal Party Caucus by Kevin Falcon - for having his own opinions. John Rustad has rebounded by surging past Falcon's BC United in current polls - but (another coincidence?) I have chosen this day to offer my own assessment and caution. In old cowboy jargon, 'You Dance with the One What Brung Ya'. Don't forget about BC's diehard Conservative voters.

BC United Party (BCU) under Leader Kevin Falcon has run a surprisingly low profile, low energy campaign to date. Is BCU the product of an old, tired political party that has past its 'best before' expiry date or is it instead a party that is relying on its past successes to carry it through once again? Time to up the game.

Your heart should be troubled and your sensibilities offended - seriously offended. While the verdict of NOT GUILTY relating to Conspiracy to Commit Murder charges by a jury of peers has exonerated Chris Carbert and Tony Olienick, the collusion that led these men to 900 days behind bars is chilling.

BC is the most unaffordable province in Canada with highest taxes, highest fuel prices and highest housing costs. With an election on the horizon October 19, 2024, what are the choices for BC's residents?

Kevin Falcon, leader of BC United Party, speaks to an enthusiastic crowd at Predator Ridge, Vernon BC. Fiscal mismanagement under David Eby's ruling NDP government is costing BC residents dearly - in out of control spending, marginal results and credit rating declines. Less than 3 months until BC's October 19, 2024 general election and political parties are stepping up their ground game.

Excerpt from July 29, 2024 Predator Ridge Vernon, BC speech. BC's NDP government under David Eby & John Horgan have run up more debt in 8 years than all years combined since BC became a province. Deficit for 2024 estimate is $8 Billion with no evidence that quality of life is improving for BC residents. Election 2024 in BC is heating up.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's Public Health Officer, announces that all vaccine mandates for BC's Health Care Workers are cancelled, effective immediately. Unfortunately, we should read the 'fine print' before we get too excited. How many health care workers fired for vaccine non-compliance will be returning to the BC Health Care system that is currently in a growing crisis of increasing unacceptable wait times, emergency department closures and understaffing issues throughout the province?

Donald J. Trump came within millimeters of death by the hand of a confused, politically corrupted ideologue. The horrific death of an innocent bystander was almost lost in the glee that many on the political left expressed. Where is the humanity in these disgusting, corrupted creatures who celebrate politically driven agendas and fatal consequences? More importantly, where is the judiciary that is supposed to uphold Rule of Law on an even, fair and just level playing field. Psychopaths are running wild with complicit covert support from those sworn to protect humanity. Have they no consciences?

Slightly more than five months until the October, 2024 BC general election. David Eby's NDP government have created a dumpster fire. Do John Rustad, leader of the Conservative Party of BC and Kevin Falcon, leader of BC United have the courage to do what's required to ensure an NDP defeat? Hint: It may mean playing nice with each other for the benefit of ALL British Columbians.

With less than seven months left before the October 19, 2024, the nomination process for the Conservative Party of British Columbia has not been without a few challenges. Dr. Stephen Malthouse, a family doctor who defied the COVID mRNA treatments and mandates started the day as the publicly declared candidate for Ladysmith-Oceanside and ended the day as a 'former' candidate - without meaningful explanation from John Rusted, CPBC Leader. Interesting times ...

True to its DEI, SOGI, UNDRIP, Woke Agenda DNA, BC's NDP Government and its bureaucracy solemnly inform 'British Columbians' that our very existence is offensive and exclusionary. You just can't make this stuff up. Fortunately, 'British Columbians' have the opportunity to show these globalists, agenda driven Hive Dwelllers the door in October, 2024.

Unconstitutional. "..not justified in relation to the relevant factual & legal constraints". "..unreasonable & led to infringement of Charter Rights NOT justified under Section 1". Emergencies Act fractured Canada & was illegal. Will Canadians finally stand up to our Abusers?

Improbably (& bizarrely), elites at the 2024 Davos World Economic Forum blatantly trumpet their important role in controlling and managing 'The Truth' through the mainstream media and its corporate backers. Is it any wonder that trust in MSM is rapidly declining as the role of the citizen journalist and independent media continues to rise at an even more accelerated rate? The Times are a' Changin' and mainstream media doesn't appear to have received the message.

Incredibly, & disturbingly, 4 men (Chris Carbert, Chris Lysak, Jerry Morin & Anthony Olienick) languish in a Lethbridge Alberta Remand Centre almost two years now without a fair trial. In what civilized country is this even a possibility? Political prisoners or actual criminals? Without a fair trial, how will we ever know?
