John Sherry, BC Conservative Party

Tomorrow will be a sad day indeed. Since my interest in politics really took hold, I would wait and wait, no matter how desperate, to purchase new shoes for budget day, in the tradition of finance ministers from different provinces and levels of government. It was the only part of the budget exercise I actually [...]

I have to admit that until very recently, I was getting quite discouraged. Politically, I was a “cup half empty” kind of guy. Those days are gone. I can’t say exactly when the tide turned, but it was right around when I went to the Catalyst Crofton Pulp Mill with Al Siebring and John Cummins. [...]

Well, just when I felt I was numb to the actions of the government, I was shocked out of it by horrendous news today. The Auditor General of BC, John Doyle, has not been reappointed by the special committee determining his fate. This committee does not just consist of BC Liberals, but also members of [...]

The upcoming provincial election in 2013 may not be top of mind for most, but it should be. The status quo is no longer acceptable, and the silence from both the BC Liberals and the BC NDP on fiscal transparency is deafening. That silence is a sure sign that we will be seeing much of the [...]

Today I had a number of people come to my defense for purchasing turkeys, 25 of them, from my local Walmart. While I really appreciate “think global, buy local” and do the same as often as practical, there is a lot to be said for “Big Business“. This Big Business helped me purchase these turkeys [...]

  Preston Manning must hate himself. It can’t be easy living a lie for so many years. After all, what other reason could he have for supporting the BC Liberals in saying he is against John Cummins and the BC Conservatives. He as much as said so on air and even had the gall to [...]

As many of you know, I share many of my thoughts here. Though I am a BC Conservative, I consider my thoughts as relating more to right and wrong than left and right. Many of my ideas have been shared, debated and most importantly they have influenced the policies of my party as well as [...]

I honestly can’t blame anyone for disinterest in politics. Looking back at the last 20 years of deceipt, corruption, lies, debt and incompetence, how is one supposed to have faith in government? We need to start again from the ground up and that is exactly what we are doing with the BC Conservative Party. The [...]
