I ask you; by comparison, what do the BC Liberals and the BC NDP stand for?


I like Facebook, although I will admit I spend far too much time there.  I like it because it gives me the opportunity to share and exchange all kinds of ideas with people from all across the political spectrum ... and you should see my Friends list :D

Why am I starting the blog comment, this way, you ask?  

Well last night a friend posted a comment saying, “Thanks for the call BC Liberals but no you won’t be getting a donation from me. Those days are over.”

At which point I promptly said, “… should have asked them to sign up with BC Conservatives. I suspect the call results aren't going that well and maybe they'd want to check us out :D”

Then someone else made a comment that I found interesting … especially as I have been involved in the party and following its growth now for a little over a year.  This person said, “Can't say I've heard piles from either party lately that makes me want to donate to either one, actually.”

That tells me there is still a big job ahead … and that there are still many people are out there waiting to find out what the BC Conservatives stand for, and why they should support them ... whether as a member ... with financial support ... in spreading the word ... being an active member working to build membership ... a director on a constituency association ... or perhaps even consider seeking a nomination to run for the party.

I wrote this person back … and here is what I had to say:

Common sense is not a political philosophy of the left or the right

John Cummins speaking
in Kamloops (May 26)
In the past few days, soon to be leader of the BC Conservative Party, John Cummins, has been meeting and talking to people in the Thompson Okanagan region.

In Vernon just the other day he stated, “People are tired with the choices they have and the last election is proof of that when 48 per cent of British Columbians stayed home, they didn’t like either choice

This morning I spoke with Jim Harrison from CHNL Radio who asked about some of the things the party is looking at with regards to policy – one of the things I mentioned is that policy is going to be common sense, and that people will be able to support it because of that very reason.
