Attended a @PeterMilobar event today. Room was packed. People were standing. Wouldn't be surprised if he needs bigger venues soon. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Dude's a coach. If you went to a hockey rink or a baseball diamond and you saw him walking around, you'd just assume he was coaching a team. He even speaks like a coach, sports analogies and all. He's on the field to win, has a strategy and he's going to play fair. When he yells at the refs, they've probably screwed up. He doesn't care what colour jersey you supply him with because what colour jersey he wears won't change how he plays the game. TAKEAWAYS: - He dislikes SOGI and will repeal it, but solidly supports the cdn charter re: protecting students from bulling and discrimination. - He will repeal DRIPA and greenlight government lawyers to argue in favor private property rights in court, which is something the ndp is currently preventing. He says this while acknowledging that section 35 of the cdn charter will still exist. He also notes that prior to DRIPA, many resource projects went ahead and private property rights weren't such a panic issue prior to it. - He will repeal NDP's Bill 44 to give power back to BC community councils and residents. I would like to hear more about this from him. - On healthcare, Milobar wants to accredit foreign medical schools congruent with cdn medical practices and standards so cdn students who graduate from those foreign schools can easily return to canada to build their career in medicine. He also wants to alleviate pressure and backlog within our healthcare system by building more senior living developments in communities across BC. - He wants to change BC's educational system so learning is more student based. Specifically, so kids who need more help get the help they need, while kids who are excelling past their peers are given wings to fly instead of a ceiling. He wants to fund this change by finding efficiencies within government's web of bureaucracy. - He supports tax cuts that support the sustainability and growth of small businesses, and the stability of families. - Mentioned Alberta's Daniell Smith a few times. Says he would absolutely use the notwithstanding clause, but notes its 5 yr limitation with potential to renew for 5 more yrs only. - lots of other things discussed. He's definitely a details guy. Spoke from his brain, not a note pad or a memorized pr script. - Milobar's campaign is unapologetically working hard to convince liberal voters to swing conservative and support his realistic and respectful conservative platform. He knows it's going to take red and blue coming together to defeat the NDP, and the only reason he's in the race is to do just that. He said it a few times: being the opposition party sucks. He's tired of talking about change, he wants to enact it. - No used car salesman vibes. Seasoned diplomacy. Knows what he's talking about. Could probably discuss detailed policy for 48 hours straight. Level headed, slow and steady. Not a donald duck. Would be just as comfortable building a fence in a field as building a team with other premiers to put pressure on Ottawa as needed. Today was the first political event I attended in 12+ years. Glad I went. I forgot to pay for my decaf coffee before I left, tho: Sorry Milobar, I owe you $5.03.

You have a political home. If you care about British Columbia and want real change, now is the moment to step forward. Join my team, help shape the future of our province, and be part of a movement that brings people together to defeat David Eby’s NDP. 👉 Join us, the deadline is April 18th: PeterMilobar.ca/membership

A new Mainstreet poll shows what’s at stake. I am the only candidate who would win a strong, clear Majority Government against David Eby’s NDP. If we want to create jobs, grow our economy, and repeal DRIPA — we have to win. 👉 Join our movement: PeterMilobar.ca/membership #bcpoli #readytoleadbc
