  • Jordan Kealy of Peace River North and Tara Armstrong of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, both made the announcement on Facebook Friday evening.

    The party has been a mess. Perhaps “not NDP” isn’t enough of a foundation for a party. Maybe we need some principled people to step out of it.

    In his post, Kealy indicates interest in forming a “new party that respects Conservative values,” but that he plans to represent his region “with or without a party.”

    Uh oh. I never like where the conversation is going when the word “values” starts getting slung around.

    The NDP has sought to exploit that strategy through some of its motions, including one calling on MLAs to condemn U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.

    Five Conservative MLAs voted against the motion, including Brodie, Armstrong and Kealy.

    Ohhhhh. Now I get it. The BC Conservatives aren’t conservative enough for this lot. And I naively thought they were leaning towards being less shitty.

    It wasn’t that long ago that Tim Hortons restaurants baked their own donuts in house. Fresh all the time. It was their draw.

    Fast forward and they truck in everything frozen from a manufacturing plant. Things aren’t made there anymore - they’re thawed and assembled. And it tastes like it.

    They used to be legendary for their coffee, but a few years ago they let their agreement with their coffee supplier to lapse. McDonald’s scooped it right up which suddenly put McCafe on the map. Tim’s found a new supplier but the coffee wasn’t nearly as good.

    Aren’t a bunch of their franchises also under investigation for Temporary Foreign Worker program abuse?

    It’s just been death by a thousand really stupid cuts.
