Honesty first and foremost

“We [British Columbians] live in the most corrupt province in this country,“ said Mr. Tsakumis today
If his article is true, then his statement is likely true as well. This must stop!  I posted about transparency 2 days ago but I had hoped that the next election would be primarily about policy. However, if it needs to be about corruption as well, then so be it. We have a generation that is giving up on our democracy. The Occupy movement should have woken us up to that if we were still sleeping. It is time to bring honesty back into politics.
Governing should not be about money or power. It is a service to give back to the people we live with and love.  Should I be given the privilege to serve the Shuswap in this way, I will strive along the BC Conservative party to bring back trust in our MLAs and our democracy.
