Rustad out as BC Conservatives' leader
19
When are conservatives gonna realize the majority of Canadians are fed up with them? We want sensibility, not slogans cheap rhetoric, divisive politics. PP is next to go and Canada will be better off without him, just like BC is better off without Rustad.

I predict the party will splinter further and get demolished in the next election.To succeed the Conservatives need to return to and maintain their focus on conservative economic and financial values.That's a difficult value for the citizens of B.C. to understand and appreciate where most are employed in bloated public services where all the revenue is provided for by the taxpayers and debt servicing.B.C. is no longer a province of pioneers and privateers but instead a socialist wasteland of lazy, lethargic public welfare parasites with milliionaire bank accounts.Why bother being conservative with a hard work ethic to get wealthy when you can just be a socialist and gorge your belly on the public trough of tax dollars.

To to fair to councillor Hissy Fit he is correct in saying the city development department is anything but a model of efficiency & competency Every time I drive up to the top of Ospika Bvld I glance over to see if any progress has been made in completing the student residence/apartment/seniors residence/??????. Nope nothing yet! Now that the snow has fallen it will be spring 2026 at the earliest before a shovel hits the ground. Because of the ham handed way it was handled there is nothing the city can do about it.Part of the problem is that there is no accountability for major screwups like this, the people involved are still employed by the city. The Peter Principle in action. The city manager's little feelings are hurt by criticism of departments that he is responsible for and wants it kept behind closed doors? The rug at city hall has a mountain of stuff swept under it already. The way to solve inefficiencies is to shed some light on them Walter.

BC is a joke now economically. How much GDP has BC lost? And yet the social services keep giving out more and more. Let's just keep taxing the citizens and letting industry leave. Im curious how bad things have to get before BC changes the way it views economic stability.

“Rustad was kicked out of that party in 2022 after sharing social media posts questioning the science of climate change”I know this is off-topic somewhat, but it’s so glaringly obvious… the ideological brainwashing that controls our society. “Questioning science” IS science lol… a bunch of nameless, faceless “experts” all agreeing on doctrine and building systems to force people to believe it is literally the definition of religion… so wild.

This is me sitting here not shocked our city manager wants to make comments behind closed doors to avoid any kind of public accountability.

....and that's why PG is light-years behind Kelowna, Kamloops, Nanaimo, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Penticton, in development.You wouldn't think so with the huge six figure salaries City managers and directors are paid, after all the taxpayers are always told that to retain the best city staff the City has to pay top dollar.Because they're the best.....right ?

As the apartment is being built for the Aboriginal Housing Society of Prince George will it receive a permissive tax exemption once completed?The city is forgiving over $2 million a year through these exemptions and when the average taxpayer is facing another 6% in tax increases this year it is time to trim or eliminate some of the tax holidays others get year after year

Bird is an elected official in my riding. How dare she refuse to answer a question on how she voted!! If your feeding at the public trough, answer ANY & ALL QUESTIONS, it’s literally your job. I think those who voted against Rustad as leader are scumbags!! He grew the party from a big NOTHING , & now all the light weights who jumped onboard think they’re smarter, more savy & have leadership qualities. I’m very disappointed in Bird & I’ll show her with my vote. So much for Honor Bird!!

“definition of religion.” Religion=superstition. Science relies on peered reviewed research & evidence. I’ll side with David Suzuki, Chris Hadfield, Carl Sagan, etc. Climate change deniers? Same umbrella as thinking the moon landing took place in a television studio while wearing a tin foil hat & avoiding vaccines.

When are people going to admit that the NDP is losing its luster.Federally the NDP have lost official party status and are two broke to force a federal election to remove the morally bankrupt federal Liberals. Left ideology is tearing Canada apart and people like John Rustad are aware of the divisions that are tearing BC and Canada apart. If Rustad is really pushed out, someone needs to step up and force the RADICAL URBAN BASED NDP TO STOP THE ABUSE OF RURAL BC.

It’s to the point that we home owners are being nickel and dimed to death because previous city councils and staff ignored our water and sewer system for so long now the current council and staff are playing catch-up but in doing so how many home owners are being pushed to the brink because of bad decisions made over the past 20 years. It’s to the point that I can barely afford to pay city utilities now not to mention property taxes.How much longer are we going to be nickel and dimed until we call uncle and walk away from homes we fought hard to pay for.

Another tax grab. We have already paid for the system. Any maintenance cost should be revenue neutral otherwise its just more money the city can extort from the ones who work and give it to the ones who refuse to work.

“bloated public services.” I guess when one has a “hate on” for public servants & unions (even those union members who helped with your recent surgery & recovery?) it helps you sleep at night. I often need to deal with many govt agencies & services. I find the majority of the people to be kind & helpful. I often find many of these govt places are shorthanded run on a skeleton crew. Peace & love.

If the party wants a win federally it would be in their best interest to get rid of him.
