Choice: Isn't that what democracy is all about?

I had a great time yesterday in Salmon Arm meeting people and talking about governmental choices. There is a growing excitement with the BC Conservative Party and I met many people who have been waiting for this to be viable option.  Now it is and we are moving forward.

But I met another group of people; those who are disillusioned with government in general and I understand why.  We have made elections into a time when we vote AGAINST what we don't believe in but we never get a chance to vote FOR what we do believe in.

The BC Conservative Party is giving people who want to avoid the disaster of the nineties an option to vote FOR something rather than just going with the status quo and wishing we could have a different system. The disillusioned voters are sceptical, but I am looking forward to showing them that there is hope for better government.

The Shuswap is a wonderful place with great people. Thank you to all those I met yesterday for the time you took to tell me what you want from a responsible government. The BC Conservative Party is dedicated to engaging the people of BC and making this province all that it should be.

I am dedicated to the service of everyone living in the Shuswap.
