Oak Bay/ Gordon head Candidate *Please note: Although Ryan did not make the cut for nomination this year, he plans to continue to advocate for change and will apply to run again in the next election.

The party has been over for a while and we are recovering and cautious and all a little hesitant at the moment. Now is the time for Independents.

The party will not resume. It has been rendered irrelevant by the voice inside that always knew it would not sustain. We are now focused on recovery, for the ourselves, our communities, our climate and all things vulnerable.

This takes Independents.

Our tentative steps forward from here are not best dictated by some self-aggrandizing and enlightened entity. Our steps need to be myriad, testing the many variables and understanding the unique nature of each ecosystem. We will continue to work together but not under some omniscient and homogeneous regime.

To this end, I know our province has Independents. Capable and resilient rational individuals willing to take on the task free of party strategy, manipulation and gamesmanship.

I call upon all of these individuals to offer themselves up, to look and listen to their constituents, human and otherwise and act as the conduit for this collective will.

 

We have been thrust into this election for the wrong motivations but we can turn the tide by denying the party goers their due. The keg has been put away, the BBQ is out of propane and there is a mess to clean up.

 

Vote the party over, find and support Independent candidates in your electoral district.

Where do you live?

 

As our lives moved to quarantine, this question has brought much of the world inside. In British Columbia and on South Vancouver Island it really opened my eyes to just how many people live without a private inside in which to flee. It also brought to light just how isolating many housing situations can be.

A BIG thank you to my wife @jannagisler who has been helping me on the campaign trail. Although I am running as an "Independent" candidate, reaching my potential constituency is definitely not an independent task. Just as leading a province
Our Ministry of Health is the provinces biggest budgeted expense. This over $22B dollar behemoth performs no small task. However, I want to roll back to a time -pre Covid and expose what I perceive as a fatal flaw with the direction of our societal g
Maybe it’s telling that the sun has decided to cast a smokey orange pall across our sky today. There is an interesting symbolism with Orange and working with people originally from Holland has given be a healthy respect for the colour far beyon
Somewhere in the “fog of net”, I loosely remember coming across a figure that about half of all people die without a proper will and it gets me thinking: Is that number relevant in my home constituency of Oak Bay Gordon Head (OBGH)? Exact
The budget for the Ministry of Agriculture is just over $80M. Given that this represents over 44000 square kilometers of land reserve beyond the very ambitious aforementioned goals, then I think giving it approximately the same monetary consideration
Education is often a debated subject itself, too often within a very narrow scope. It seems that our collective blood boils every time we hear the Province and the Teachers Federation (BCTF) battle it out with one another. The provincial mandate
Thoughts on education This year, I sent my oldest son off to Kindergarten. Off to Education. In the current BC State of emergency, that meant a late entry (mid Sept.) and gradual integration into a cohort that will spend the school year in one anothe
Last fall I spent a few days in New York City, enjoying so many of the things that city is known for and many others that I had no clue about until we were present. As we walked through an incredibly dense and diverse city, the toil of several hundre

At the dawn of this province and for 50 years or so, Transportation was a Department included under “Public Works” and its affiliated Minister. What “works for the public” might be a good appendage to the current nomenclature?
