What a great success story.It's almost a throw-back to the heady, exciting days of W.A.C. Bennett, B.C.'s most famous premier ever to come from the interior (Kelowna) when Kelowna was still a sleepy, summer town , and not the ugly, extended suburb of Vancouver it has become.Doerkson, like Bennett, has the regular, everyman charisma. Unlike the urban, smug, elite, suits premiers like Eby et al. who have all come from Vancouver or Victoria for many years.It's the positive change that B.C. needs to get back on track.
HOLY SHOOT! Ive been down, no hope no possibilities. Nothing but the shirt on my back. And I thought that was true ROCK BOTTOM! But I was wrong.....THIS IS!
All I can say is thank god. Now get on with repealing Dripa, Sogi 123 and all the rest of the woke policies that distroyed this province. It will be a long road back but it can happen if sane minds prevail. We need to get back to producing not reducing. I hope he stands up to the plate and not back down like Mr Rustad who followed the polls rather than his policies.
One can appreciate the tone of Doerkson. Unlike the shrill tone of indignation that comes from lightweights Smith & Poilievre.Let’s hope Doerkson avoids being associated with certain types of conservatives:>those that use terms like “woke” or “legacy media.” Certainly a red flag that one wears a tinfoil hat. >those who get excited over SOGI, DRIPA, etc. A telltale sign one adheres to dog whistle xenophobic politics.>those addicted to the 3 G’s. God, guns, & grievances. One would hope one would look in the mirror to see where change can begin rather than having a non-stop firehose laundry list of complaints. And, obviously, religious & gun nutbars to be avoided.>anti science, anti vax, man made climate change deniers are part of intellectual midget brigade so Doerkson, hopefully, won’t want to associated with that group. Best of luck Lorne.
A great victory and congratulations !Now together we can rebuild this great province that the NDP, in almost ten years, decimated and destroyed.The entitled Left, with all of their whining, crying, stomping, shouting, will protest as they always do when their candy is in jeapordy but let them..it will be enjoyable to watch.
Just want to say a huge THANKYOU to Diane Black, Rosalyn Bird, Sheldon Clare and Kiel Giddens for their dedication to constituents in the Central Interior and Lorne Doerkson in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. A heartfelt thanks!
Hallelujah !! Make B.C. great again !The socialists/communists have left the building after burning it down and the true blue conservatives will resurrect B.C. into prosperity and greatness again.It will take time to eliminate the NDP's creation of record deficit and debt but it will happen.The best election result ever because no NDP is a good NDP.It's time to rebuild this once great province.
Listened to the Green Leader Emily Lowen give the most terrible concession speech ever. Hateful, fearmongering, spiteful.What an awful young woman. Zero class in defeat.
Well, Congratulations. I did like what Doerkson had to say, and I hope he can keep the party in the center, listen to the experts when it comes to health and societal matters. And respect Native feelings and requirements.
I don't think you understand what a suburb is...There are several synonyms that make far more sense. Satellite of Vancouver, extension of Vancouver, Vancouver of the interior, wannabe Vancouver....
💯 after Lorne Doerksen congratulated her and said he was willing to work with and listen to her she gave that appalling speech. You’re right BGeez it was filled with hate and fear. This is the last thing we need more of in this province.
I like how you just dismissed the opinions of religious people, gun owners, “anti vax”, people who question “the science” behind drug addiction and climate. Not sure what sogi or dripa have to do with xenophobia. Ask property owners who are living the results of DRIPA, their property value has plummeted and deals have fallen through. If there is no consequence, why go through with it at all? What is the purpose of DRIPA in your opinion? People did sustain injuries from vaccines, it’s documented and there is government assistance for those people. So for some, it wasn’t harmless or crazy as you describe. Myocarditis.Addicted to grievances? Like we’re not supposed to be critical of the governments abysmal performance? Just be quiet and take your comeuppance. I believe in reducing our impact, but I recognize you can’t destroy peoples livelihoods and the economy in the process, without breeding massive resentment. Speaking of shrill indignation.
Poor Eby, I guess his snap election call fell short of the few seats he needed to really cement that majority. He finally did something worthwhile by resigning though. But now he can’t even go back to Ontario without giving up his $10 a day subsidized daycare, rough day for eby. Hopefully the conservatives can extinguish this dumpster fire the NDP created, but it wont be easy and they have a lot of work to do. On the bright side, the NDP didn’t set the bar very high, shouldn’t be too hard to top their final term. With the NDP bailing out the Asian owned Domtar pulp mill in Howe Sound, I wonder why they wouldn’t bail out Northwood? Or any of the facilities in Northern BC, who's economies were centred around forestry? Just another final example how the NDP only ever cared about their voter base. Good riddance
