What the people [...] [...more]
Dear Editor: This letter is directed at provincial Conservative Party leader John Cummins. We believe you’re amazing or just plain stupid. After your recent decision to remove Mischa Popoff from your party, you do NOT have a candidate for the Boundary – Similkameen Electoral District to represent the Conservatives in this election. You must know [...] [...more]

He claims voting Conservative on May 14 will split the free enterprise vote. Day evidently forgets how new parties get started. It was not so long [...] [...more]
Dear Editor: The B.C. Liberals under Christy Clark cannot be trusted. B.C. Liberals said they would not sell B.C. Rail, then did anyway. People were shocked when this government admitted it was paying the entire $6 million in legal bills for Basi and Virk when they admitted they were guilty, a complete contradiction of government [...] [...more]
Dear Editor: Stockwell Day warns that voting for the B.C. Conservatives will split the “free enterprise” vote and “risk” electing an NDP government. It’s certainly clear that he does not know which political party he belongs to. Would someone please show him the way out. You might also remind him that his brand of “free [...] [...more]
