The B.C. Conservatives know that they will not win the next election, nor is there anything for them to gain by coming to the rescue of the floundering B.C. Liberals [“ Cummins hunts B.C. Liberals”, April 5-12]. It is to the advantage of the B.C. Conservatives to destroy the B.C. Liberals and become the only alternative to the NDP.
What I found interesting was the reaction by the Independent Contractors and Business Association to the prospect of the NDP forming the next B.C. government. The B.C. Liberal Party has undertaken multibillion-dollar infrastructure projects that primarily benefit its members. A propaganda campaign has been conducted that emphasizes the supposed benefits of these massive public-works projects to the citizens of B.C. They are, in fact, make-work projects for well-paid construction workers.
The members of the ICBA, who are their bosses, also benefit greatly. I fail to see how this corporate-welfare scheme follows the free-enterprise model that [ICBA president] Phil Hochstein wishes to preserve. What the citizens of B.C. really need is a government willing to review these projects and their effect on today’s deficit, and our constantly rising long-term debt at the same time basic government services such as health care and education are being limited or curtailed. Don’t expect the B.C. Liberals to do this because that would result in a reduction in contributions to their reelection campaign by members of the ICBA.

Carlito Pablo’s assertion that the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance “merged with the Progressive Conservative Party” is akin to saying that France “merged” with Germany in 1940. The destruction of Canada’s founding political party was a pure and simple takeover by a band of USA–style right-wing evangelists who know or care nothing about Canadian conservatism.

Who do the B.C. Conservatives think they’re fooling with their byelection signs in the Port Moody–Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope constituencies? These signs are clearly, and shamefully, designed to mimic the appearance of election signs used by the federal Conservative party.
The B.C. Conservative party is not affiliated with the federal Conservative party. The two are completely separate, just as the centre-right B.C. Liberal party is completely separate from the federal Liberal party.
Federal Conservatives have publicly shunned the B.C. Conservative party and want nothing to do with it. All centre-right voters should do the same and not be fooled by a pale imitation trying to pass itself off as the real thing.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the White race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.
As for the issue, it doesn't put off a lot, many of us minarchists are supporting the BCC right now. From here in Hastings to Coq to the North. Oh and the Reform Party was invaded by Tories, not the other way around. The BCC has a value because with the BC Liberals who needs the NDP.
The Canadian Alliance did legally merge with the Progressive Conservatives with many PC's wondering why Peter McKay sold them out. At the time (2003) we were polling high numbers for this merger as Canadians were sick of the federal Liberals. Former PC leader and PM Joe Clark did not support the merger.
I don't agree with the idea that BC Conservatives were shunned by federal Conservatives. Initially, there was little support but as the BC Conservatives have grown to be BC Liberals equal (at least) Mr. Harper has directed that federal Conservatives in BC ridings do as they please, however BC Conservative leader John Cummins has said thanks but not thanks - the situation has (in fact) reversed.
