A casualty of the storm. I know how this feels. (Victoria’s Beacon Hill Park).

[Chris Gainor @ChrisGainor]

Sir Winston Churchill turns 150 at the end of the month. In honour of this event, Churchill and a few friends will appear on Sunday December 1 at 2:00 p.m in Beacon Hill Park at the tree Churchill planted. The tree is at the north end of the park below Quadra in the Mayor's Grove

I connected with Sonia Furstenau on election night and congratulated her for running a positive campaign.

Grace Lore got back to me last Tuesday. I acknowledged her successful outcome and wished her the best in representing the constituents of Victoria-Beacon Hill.

No tent cities.

No drug use in supportive housing.

Is it possible? The Conservatives want to at least try… Perhaps British Columbians will let them. How much worse could it really get? #bcpoli #yyj

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

We get knocked down. And we get up again!

[Conservative Party of BC @Conservative_BC]

Under David Eby and the NDP, tent cities, crime and chaos have spread across BC. John Rustad will restore order and reclaim our public spaces for good. #BCpoli

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

Weaver formally endorses the BC Conservatives and @Stephen_Andrew, who is running in Weaver’s riding of Oak Bay Gordon Head!

With the surprise removal of the NDP’s Murray Rankin, this riding is wide open and one to watch! #bcpoli #yyj

[Adam Stirling 11am-3pm Weekdays @Adam_Stirling]

There it is!

There is officially a @Conservative_BC candidate for Esquimalt Colwood!

(We had a caller today saying she was ready to spoil her ballot because she didn’t want to vote NDP or Green) #bcpoli #yyj

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

The BC NDP and their farm team on Victoria’s City Council have brought chaos to our streets.

We will build the recovery centres and psych facilities they wouldn’t or couldn’t build.

We will enforce the laws that protect us all.

Leadership is hard. Kevin Falcon is making an incredibly brave and difficult decision. He deserves credit and history will remember this contribution.

Onwards to defeating the radical BC NDP with the Conservative Party of BC and common sense change. #bcpoli

[Tim Thielmann @timthielmann]

@Adam_Stirling @VictoriaNews First responders can’t raise concerns with the Premier without facing political retaliation.

That angers me. It should anger everyone.

You can ask Vic News why they threw hatchets at us instead of fixing sights on ehomever’s trying to punish Josh Montgomery. 🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: BC Conservatives Condemn Chilling Retaliation Against Victoria Firefighter

Mr. Montgomery was scheduled to speak as a representative of Victoria’s North Park neighbourhood at a town hall hosted last night by Tim Thielmann, Conservative Party of BC candidate for Victoria-Beacon Hill. But attendees learned from Stephen Andrew, a journalist and the event’s moderator that Mr. Montgomery had been forced to cancel and had just been suspended without pay for his letter to the Premier.

“This is a man who risks his life to save ours. Every day. A man who’ll stand up for the safety of his children and his neighbours. And they want to make an example out of him simply for writing to his Premier? I don’t think so. The people of British Columbia won’t stand for this,” said Mr. Thielmann.

In his letter, Mr. Montgomery asked the Premier to suspend a proposed drug consumption site that would service 300 unhoused people just 100 feet from where his young daughters, ages 4 and 6, play outside his house.

Victoria firefighters now require a police escort to answer emergency calls on Victoria’s troubled 900 block of Pandora Avenue, the site where a paramedic was recently attacked and first responders swarmed by approximately 60 hostile street residents. A loaded 9mm handgun was recovered by police days later.

“We demand an account. Was Mr. Montgomery’s suspension at the insistence of the Mayor or did it come from the Premier himself? Mr. Montgomery and B.C.’s first responders deserve an explanation and a formal apology for this outrageous and vindictive attack,” said Mr. Thielmann.

“I’ve spent my entire legal career getting governments to consult. Plenty didn’t want to. But this is the first time I’ve seen a government that’d go after a man’s job simply because he wrote a letter with some tough questions. As a lawyer I’m shaking my head. As a father, I’m standing with Josh,” said Tim Thielmann.

In today’s @timescolonist : “Victoria city council’s decision to place “social service centres” throughout the municipality with no input from residents was an act of colossal arrogance.”

[Andrew Weaver @AJWVictoriaBC]

@Adam_Stirling The forthcoming election can't come soon enough. Eby needs to go. He acted like he had a mandate for his outrageous ideology. The Lisa Helps story is the last straw for me. It looks like I might even be voting @Conservative_BC in the next election.
