@KerryLynneFindl Here is a message to people in Abbotsford-Mission! Pick someone local who knows your issues. Ms Findlay was the MP for Surrey White Rock and did absolutely nothing for the area..... and she lived here. I can only imagine how miserably she would serve you
David Eby refusing to rule out a snap election this fall should concern every British Columbian.
BC is already facing unprecedented debt, enormous deficits and now a staggering $1.5 BILLION government accounting error.
And the Premier is considering sending British Columbians back to the polls early because the Opposition is in chaos?

The last provincial election cost taxpayers more than $82 MILLION. British Columbians shouldn't be asked to pay that kind of money again, less than two years later, simply because the political timing might benefit David Eby and the NDP.
At a time when every dollar should be focused on health care, affordability, public safety and getting BC's finances under control, spending tens of millions on an unnecessary early election is the last thing British Columbians need.
Stop playing politics. Govern the province. Fix the finances. Get BC back on track. @bcpoli@RobShaw_BC@JasJohalBC

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth using an image from the Vernon Cadet Training Centre to mock young Canadians was completely inappropriate.
Cadets learn leadership, discipline, service and commitment to their communities. They deserve encouragement and respect โ not ridicule.

This continues to be an issue right across BC. There are some solutions and I even gave those to the NDP but they didn't listen. For one, open up more training spaces dedicated to BC residents who will probably stay here rather than sending our people over seas to get schooling and then they never come back! @VoteCentreBC
I am no fan of Kerry-Lynne Findlay, and I have been very clear about my concerns with the direction of the BC Conservatives.
But there is another issue here that should concern everyone.
The Findlay Files appears to have extraordinary access to private conversations, recordings and information from inside the BC Conservative organization. Whoever is behind it clearly seems to have access that most people simply would not have.
If elected MLAs or people close to them are secretly recording colleagues, leaking private conversations and feeding material to anonymous social media accounts to settle internal political battles, that raises some very serious questions about trust and integrity.
You don't have to support Kerry-Lynne Findlay to recognize how disturbing that is.
British Columbians elect MLAs to represent them โ not to spend their time secretly recording one another and conducting anonymous political warfare.
At some point, we need to ask: who can actually be trusted to govern?

Husband: "What's the deal with @Mike_A_Bernier and that CentreBC party?"
Me: "I've only met him briefly a couple times. Seemed like a down to earth guy from, I think, Dawson Creek area who knows how to prioritize the basics. Electricity, food and jobs.
Husband: "CentreBC?"
Me: "I dunno. The party doesn't appear to be much more than a logo right now. No elected MLAs in bcleg, no detailed positions. Personally, I worry it might be too far left socially, but Mike did say at some point the bcndp ran away with the sogi program and turned it into more than the anti-bullying program he originally meant it to be. Not sure where his edges are on that. Could have potential."
Husband "CKNW had him on. He sounds decent. If the vote were today, that's the party I'd be voting for".
*note* - I find this interesting because, in general, my husband's political views are way more right spectrum than mine. As example, at one point, he sent away for a MAGA hat and Trump stickers, and the we got into a short arguement when I told him it wasn't an appropriate hat for our 5 yr old to wear to school. He is also a fan boy of alberta separation right now, which I think is rooted in fear caused by a decade of liberals mismanaging Canada.
SO, for my husband to be looking at CentreBC in a favorable light is something.
For me, I like the way that Mike Bernier and CentreBC have detached from the old, stuck in their ways and viewpoints bc liberal and bc conservative bts apparatus, and even the claws of certain influential profit before sovereignty and people orgs/businesses.
Maybe CentreBC/Bernier actually have something, just for the fact a random rock would be more competent than the bcndp and because he and this new party really are thinking about the basics and in the best interest of the peasant class.
That said, in my opinion, Mike and CentreBC need to draw some lines in the sand sooner than later to define what he and his party stand for, before others do it for him. There is no such thing as centre- eventually a foot drops on one side or the other. Maybe we'll see some more defined messaging with the upcoming by-election. Too bad he's not running in it.
With the BC Conservatives facing ongoing internal turmoil and the NDP asking Abbotsford-Mission voters to return to the status quo, Lakhwinder Jhaj represents a hopeful alternative: thoughtful leadership, respectful politics, and a focus on results.
Lakhwinder has deep roots in the riding, a strong record in business and community leadership, and a commitment to practical solutions that put local families first.
While this by-election has become a high-stakes test for the two other parties, Lakhwinder is focused on something more important: being a strong voice for Abbotsford-Mission.
#centrebc #bcpoli @Mike_A_Bernier
The people of Abbotsford-Mission have a real choice now.
This weekend, CentreBC announced Lakhwinder Jhaj as our candidate in the September 26 by-election.
Lakhwinder has deep roots in the community and a strong record of standing up for the people of Abbotsford and Mission.
This by-election is about more than one riding, though.
It's an opportunity to show that British Columbians don't have to choose between the disastrous policies of the NDP and the growing dysfunction of the BC Conservatives.
There is a better path forward; one that is practical, people-focused, and centred on solutions.
But campaigns are powered by people, so if you've been waiting for a chance to help build something different in BC, this is it.
Whether you can volunteer your time, make a donation, or help spread the word, every contribution makes a difference.
Join us at CentreBC and help send our first MLA to Victoria!

@HeatherMaahs I suggest you look within your caucus because information being posted could only be known by someone on the inside. I do not support your party, but I think what this is, is disgusting and a complete breach of trust and confidentiality.
Politics should start with values not ideology.
At CentreBC, we believe British Columbia can do better when we put people ahead of political camps and focus on what actually matters.
CentreBC's values are the foundation for a different kind of politics, one built on pragmatism, respect, collaboration and a genuine commitment to building a better path forward for B.C.
Our Core Values:
๐น Social Investment โ strengthening the healthcare, education and supports people depend on.
๐น Informed Leadership โ making decisions based on evidence, expertise and results.
๐น Economic Prosperity โ creating opportunity, supporting business and building a strong, sustainable economy.
๐น Respect & Collaboration โ working across differences to find solutions that serve British Columbians.
๐น Youth & Future โ preparing the next generation for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
๐น Vibrant Communities โ building communities where people can live, work, raise families and thrive.
๐น Meaningful Conversation โ restoring civility to politics and creating space for thoughtful discussion, respectful debate and honest dialogue.
Because real progress doesnโt happen when everyone thinks the same.
It happens when parents, youth, workers, seniors, businesses, communities and people with different perspectives have a seat at the table and are willing to listen to one another.
These are the values that guide CentreBC.
Not left. Not right. Forward.
๐ Explore all seven of our core values:

If you believe B.C. needs a more respectful, practical and collaborative politics, thereโs a place for you at CentreBC.

The chaos inside the BC Conservative Party continues.
Bruce Banman, who helped build the BC Conservative movement, has now left the caucus, saying he is hearing from British Columbians that Kerry-Lynne Findlay is โunelectable.โ
These aren't the words of a political opponent โ they're coming from inside the Conservative movement itself.
BC doesn't need more infighting, defections or another new political party. We need to grow the tent, not keep dividing it.
@VoteCentreBC is already building a credible centre and centre-right alternative focused on what British Columbians actually care about.
Enough political chaos. Let's get back to work.
At CentreBC, weโre doing things right from the start.
Weโre not rushing to announce policies because they might make a good headline. Weโre building a process that puts evidence, expertise, consultation and real-world results ahead of ideology and political convenience.
That means listening to British Columbians. Seeking out the expertise we need. Understanding the challenges from every perspective. Testing ideas. Asking tough questions. And being willing to change course when the evidence tells us we should.
Because good policy isnโt created behind closed doors or dreamed up on a campaign trail.
Itโs built carefully, collaboratively and transparently with the people who will actually be affected by it at the table.
We believe this is what B.C. needs if weโre serious about creating a better path forward.
