[align=-webkit-left]周二,我宣布決定暫停 BC United 的競選活動。我鼓勵所有 BC United 支持者團結在 John Rustad 和 BC 保守黨身後,防止新民主黨政府再執政四年。[/align][align=-webkit-left]我重返政界是因為我想為我的兩個女兒和不列顛哥倫比亞省的下一代創造美好的未來。[/align][align=-webkit-left]我退出也是出於同樣的原因。我知道,對我們省的未來來說,最好的事情就是擊敗新民主黨,但當中右翼選票分裂的時候,我們無法做到這一點。[/align][align=-webkit-left]我想向你們保證,我已經盡最大努力確保不列顛哥倫比亞聯合黨的支持者、候選人和希望加入保守黨的議員在保守黨中占有一席之地。不列顛哥倫比亞省保守黨還承諾根據改進的審查程序審查其候選人,以確保在選舉中組建最強大的團隊。[/align][align=-webkit-left]我知道你們中的許多人都很失望。你們從個人和職業生涯中抽出了無數的時間,因為你們相信 BC United 的願景,因為你們想幫助我們所有人建設一個更好的省份。[/align][align=-webkit-left]但我也知道,沒有什麼比十月份醒來看到又一個新民主黨政府更令人失望的了,並且我知道,通過繼續 BC United 的競選,我們為這一結果做出了貢獻。[/align][align=-webkit-left]雖然我和約翰·魯斯塔德並不總是在所有事情上都意見一致,但有一點是明確的:我們省不能再讓新民主黨執政四年。但是,當有常識、自由企業的不列顛哥倫比亞人團結起來時,我們就能成就大事。[/align][align=-webkit-left]這就是為什麼我鼓勵所有自由企業選民團結起來並與我一起幫助在 10 月 19 日選舉約翰·魯斯塔德和不列顛哥倫比亞省保守黨。[/align][align=-webkit-left]我要對您多年來的支持表示最深切的謝意。您打電話、上門拜訪,並提供寶貴的建議和想法。對於所有這些,我衷心感謝您。[/align][align=-webkit-left]雖然這個決定並不容易,但我知道我在為 BC 做最好的事情[/align][align=-webkit-left]真摯地,[/align][align=-webkit-left]Kevin Falcon
BC United 領袖[/align]
[align=-webkit-left]On Tuesday, I announced my decision to suspend BC United’s campaign. I’m encouraging all BC United supporters to unite behind John Rustad and the Conservative Party of BC to prevent another four years of disastrous NDP government.[/align][align=-webkit-left]I got back into politics because I wanted to build a bright future for my two daughters and for the next generation of British Columbians.[/align][align=-webkit-left]I’m stepping back for the same reason. I know that the best thing for the future of our province is to defeat the NDP, but we cannot do that when the centre-right vote is split.[/align][align=-webkit-left]I want to assure you that I’ve made the strongest possible case to ensure a place in the Conservative Party for BC United supporters, candidates and MLAs who want one. The Conservative Party of BC has also committed to reviewing its candidates based on an improved vetting process to ensure the strongest team possible going into the election.[/align][align=-webkit-left]I know many of you are disappointed. You’ve taken countless hours from your personal and professional lives because you believe in BC United’s vision, and because you want to help build a better province for all of us.[/align][align=-webkit-left]But I also know that there will be nothing more disappointing than waking up to another NDP government in October – and knowing that by continuing BC United’s campaign, we contributed to that outcome.[/align][align=-webkit-left]While John Rustad and I haven’t always agreed on everything, one thing is clear: our province cannot take another four years of the NDP. But when common sense, free-enterprise British Columbians are united, we get great things done.[/align][align=-webkit-left]That’s why I’m encouraging all free-enterprise voters to come together and join me in helping elect John Rustad and the Conservative Party of BC on October 19th.[/align][align=-webkit-left]I want to offer my deepest gratitude for all your support over the years. You’ve made phone calls, knocked on doors, and offered invaluable advice and ideas. For all that and more, I sincerely thank you.[/align][align=-webkit-left]While this decision wasn’t easy, I know that I’m doing the best thing for B.C.[/align][align=-webkit-left]Sincerely,[/align][align=-webkit-left]Kevin Falcon
Leader, BC United[/align]
