Yesterday
I received an email from Peter Brown; he is the Chair of the Fraser Institute,
and works with CanAccord Financial. In
his email he spoke of the ‘lost years’ under the NDP, the fiscal mess they
left, that people were leaving the province, and the need for one ‘big-tent’
option to prevent this happening again.
There
was no request to keep this matter private, and I was not the only one to
receive his email. The following are exchanges
we had on this matter, and which on reflection tell me that the BC Conservative
Party must continue to build a solid foundation on which we can fight, and win
the next election
Peter ...
Voters are NOT interested in a so-called
big tent free-enterprise coalition -- they are interested in honest, open and
accountable government. These things are
no longer part of how the BC Liberals operate -- and why more and more people
are joining and working to build the BC Conservative Party.
IF you are interested in fiscal
responsibility ... honesty ... respect for voters ... and accountability, then
the party you should be supporting will be the BC Conservatives.
The Liberals have gone from one crisis
after the other --- one disaster after the other --- one blunder after the
other. That is not a party that I (and
it appears 75% of the population) will support.
If you wish to ensure the BC NDP do not
gain office, then I would encourage you to become a member of the BC
Conservatives and to support us in any way you are able ... including
encouraging your friends to do so as well.
Sincerely,
Alan Forseth, member of
The BC Conservative Party
You misunderstand a nonpartisan appeal. Without some ability
for all on the center right to find some mutually acceptable compromises we
will undoubtedly elect the most doctrinaire socialist government in our history
at a time of an alarming global geo political and economic background.
If they make it they are likely to get 2 terms which will
give our Province and our youth another disastrous lost decade at the worst
time. It is worth remembering that Chretien won three elections as a result of
a split right of center vote. It has been said that we get the government we
deserve and I believe we will look back with regret if we can't find some
solution to the current differences on the center right
