Raison de la candidature
soumis par le candidat ou son équipe
I believe people should have a moderate voice who represents them.
I am tired of how David Eby treats professionals, demonizes job creators and constantly changes the rules endangering jobs. His snap election call during the municipal elections was extremely undemocratic. BC needs a change, but we need people elected who are going to focus on jobs and not be drawn into CPBC's culture war. I also oppose how Heather Maahs has acted as an MLA. She refused to support the Team Canada approach or condemn trump, called our teachers groomers, and voted to fire them if they did land acknowledgements.
