Should I Run in Politics?

Take the Quick Poll at the bottom of the page

I am seriously considering running in a future provincial or federal election, and I believe this decision should not be made behind closed doors or filtered through consultants. It should be made openly, honestly, and with the people who will be affected by it.

I have children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and a growing extended family. What happens next in British Columbia — and in Canada — will shape their lives long after today’s political cycles are over.

As a fifth-generation Canadian and lifelong British Columbian, I’ve seen what works, what fails, and what happens when governments stop fixing systems and start managing decline.

I am not announcing a campaign. I am asking a real question — and inviting real feedback.

The TRUE BC Four-Pillar Approach

Pillar One: Healthcare That Heals — Not Abandons

British Columbia must return to healthcare that treats people instead of managing decline.

Addiction must be treated as a medical and behavioural issue, not a lifestyle. Investment must be directed toward detox, stabilization, long-term recovery, and treatment tied to accountability.

Doctors and nurses must be retained and expanded through practical recruitment and licensing reform.

Euthanasia (MAID): MAID will not be eliminated, but it will be severely restricted and limited to clear, verifiable terminal illness such as late-stage cancer. It will not be permitted for mental illness alone, addiction, disability alone, poverty, or system failure. A broken healthcare system is fixed — not replaced with death.

Pillar Two: Immigration With Capacity and Enforcement

Immigration levels must align with housing, healthcare, and corrections capacity. Non-citizens who commit serious or repeat crimes will face fast-track removal. Genuine refugees will be protected, and criminal exploitation of Canada’s generosity will end. Compassion without limits is not compassion — it is negligence.

Pillar Three: Public Safety, Policing, and Corrections

Public safety is the foundation of a functioning society. Police must be empowered to do their jobs again — making arrests, seizing illegal drugs, disrupting trafficking networks, and removing repeat offenders from public spaces.
Repeat and violent offenders will be held in custody and properly assessed for placement in secure psychiatric units or corrections facilities. There will be no automatic release back to the street.

Pillar Four: Education Without Ideology

Schools exist to educate, not indoctrinate. Ideological programs such as SOGI will be removed from classrooms.

Education will focus on literacy, numeracy, science, civics, and critical thinking. Teachers will not teach ideology, religion, or sexual content. Those conversations belong at home, led by families.

Duty-to-report remains intact, and serious concerns will be referred to appropriate professionals and escalated to MCFD when legally required.

Why I Might Be the Right Choice

I don’t practice politics as performance. I don’t campaign by walking through the woods in a suit or repeating consultant-approved talking points.

My experience has been boots on the ground — in communities, in crisis, and in places most politicians avoid. I’ve seen the consequences of broken systems firsthand, not from briefing notes, but from lived experience.

If I decide to run, it will be because honesty, accountability, and real-world experience still matter — and because British Columbia deserves more than politics that looks good but fixes nothing.

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Whether you agree with me or not, honest conversation matters.

Should I run in politics?
For our families. For our communities. For the future of British Columbia.
