City of West Columbia’s Post

🗳️Celebrating the Leadership of John Rustad and the BC Conservatives I want to take a moment to highlight the incredible leadership and values of John Rustad and the BC Conservative Party. In a time where transparency, accountability, and common-sense solutions are more important than ever, John and the party have truly stood out for their commitment to genuine, grassroots politics. John Rustad’s dedication to the people of British Columbia is evident in every step he takes. His leadership reflects the principles of fairness, integrity, and listening to the voices of everyday citizens. He understands the importance of standing up for what is right, no matter how difficult the path may be. His focus on supporting communities, promoting fiscal responsibility, and preserving our environment shows a true understanding of the complex issues our province faces. What I admire most about the BC Conservatives is their no-nonsense approach to governance. They focus on pragmatic solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives, all while maintaining a sense of responsibility and care for the long-term well-being of our province. It is exciting to see such a principled and dedicated group work towards creating a better future for all British Columbians. Their focus on family values, resource stewardship, and fiscal accountability offers a clear, positive vision for our future. Thank you, John Rustad, for your leadership and for inspiring others to work for a better, stronger BC! Please vote BC Conservatives on October 19, 2024 or in any advanced voting place starting October 10, 2024! #Leadership #BCConservatives #JohnRustad #Community #CommonSensePolitics #Integrity #bcpoli #economicreconciliation

The Senior Executive Association has signed on to the enclosed statement and is sharing the statement with our members who can individually sign on to the statement as well. "A group of non-partisan experts and scholars convened a workshop at the National Academy of Public Administration to discuss “Protecting and Reforming the US Civil Service.” This question has become urgent in light of plans, such as those outlined in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, to revive the executive order issued at the end of the Trump administration to create a new “Schedule F.” The latter would reclassify large numbers of federal employees from positions with longstanding civil service protections that undergird their objectivity in advising political leaders about policy options based on evidence. Schedule F would convert those positions to “at-will” status, meaning that employees could be hired or fired based on political loyalty rather than competence or expertise This would likely have negative effects on the quality of American government by opening the door to politicization and patronage throughout the federal workforce."

The move to eliminate Vancouver’s elected Park Board, the only one in urban Canada, follows the recent retirement of the Vancouver Economic Commission. Shifting both under City Council oversight will streamline decision making. The era of difficult decision making has just started (hint: the City we need vs the City we want). https://lnkd.in/djvBTvxE #vancouverplan Vancouver Strategic & Integrated Research #broadwayplan #cities #cdnpoli #cdnmuni #foresight #leadership #strategicmanagement #capacitybuilding #riskmanagement #strategicintelligence Urban Land Institute Canadian Urban Institute (CUI)
