Nowhere has the progressive takeover of our institutions been more complete, or more destructive, than in British Columbia. Thankfully, the Opposition B.C. Conservative Party has the opportunity to elect a leader (voting starts May 9) whose platform is a beacon of hope for the province and indeed the rest of Canada. Caroline Elliott, a longtime B.C. activist and commentator, doesn’t just want to bring in minor reforms to staunch the bleeding, she is pledging to gut the whole operation and build it anew. Conservatives across Canada take note, if Elliott wins the leadership and then wins power, B.C. will be leading the way on what a Conservative government can achieve.
