Simpson teams up with Cannan to back Liberals

Editor: British Columbians will soon be voting in the provincial election for the candidate and party they think can best represent their interests in Victoria.

As long-term residents of KelownaLake Country, we are writing today to express our support for Norm Letnick.

It is our intention, as both constituents and citizens of this province, to vote for Norm, and share our belief that the BC Liberal party and their policies best serve and deal most effectively with the our province’s various needs.

The BC Liberal Party is mainly a coalition of federal Conservative, Liberal and former Social Credit supporters. It is a coalition of free enterprisers with a social conscience, who agree on many issues, including that the BC Liberals can most effectively represent us in this election.

Over the years we have worked closely with Letnick, Steve Thomson and Christy Clark.

We know they are each strong community advocates and, along with their amazing staffs, have collectively worked tirelessly for the Okanagan and B.C.

Over the past few weeks we have met with various party candidates, thanked them for making our democracy work better, and commended them all for putting themselves forward to serve B.C.

However, given the challenges facing our province, the sense of uncertainty so prevalent today, and upon considering the various party policies, we strongly believe that Norm, Steve and Christy, the Liberal party candidates in Kelowna, can best provide the stability, the certainty, and the policies to ensure B.C. continues to be the most secure, economically viable, and vibrant province in Canada.

Protest votes have their place in the democratic process, and voting for change is a mantra without a rational debate behind it.

However, the BC Liberal party has led this province to become a leader in Canada and we are certain, will continue to provide strong, stable and focused leadership.

Special thanks to Norm’s wife Helene, Steve’s wife Brenda, Christy’s son Hamish and all of their families for their support as we know public service involves sacrificing family time.

Please take a few minutes out of your busy lives to get out and vote in this election. Advance polls start this weekend and election day is May 9. We are supporting Norm, Steve and Christy and the BC Liberals: we thank you for both your support and getting out to vote. Sharron Simpson, Ron Cannan,
