Rbc Pensioners' Network RBC PENSIONERS’ NETWORK BRITISH COLUMBIA CELL Email [email protected] VOLUME 3 ISSUE 4 – OCTOBER, 2008 EDITORIAL It has come to our attention, from a usually well informed source in the corporate offices of Phantom Publications in Kelowna, that one of their staff has been cited for Spousal Abuse. We have learned the member in question was one of those transferred to Kelowna from North Vancouver in October, 2006 and may at that time have been affiliated with the R.C.M.P Speed Watch Program. It was also reported that the accused was a RBC Pensioner. Utilizing the “Freedom of Information Act” to obtain further information, it was learned from the heavily edited report of the Human Rights Commission, the names of the accused and the accuser. Because the issue is before the courts, we are unable, at this time, to provide names. We have, however, tried to telephone the parties involved only to be referred to the law firm representing the accused (Duey, John Buckham seen at a recent RBC Pensioners’ lunch.

  • The Non-Partisan Approach to BC Politics: the Search for a Unity Party
    The Non-partisan Approach to B.C. Politics: The Search for a Unity Party — 1972-1975 G. L. KRISTIANSON Appeals to politicians to abandon party lines and unite in the face of some obvious threat are a common political phenomenon. Both the economic depression of the 1930s and the Second World War prompted demands for the formation of "national" governments in British Columbia and else­ where. Fear of a socialist election victory has been another stimulant to non-partisanship in this province. Elements of this can be found as early as 1906. It has been a regular and persistent feature for British Columbia politics since 1945. Non-partisanship has a venerable history in British Columbia. Until the turn of the century conventional party lines did not exist at the provincial level. Most candidates stood as independent individuals. The successful ones manufactured ministerial coalitions after election. The system eventu­ ally proved unstable and was abandoned in 1903 when both national parties ran candidates in the general election of that year. The change brought new stability to British Columbia politics but also prompted periodic denunciation of the evils of partisanship. In 1906, during the campaign leading up to the 1907 election, the Liberals and Conservatives in one Vancouver constituency decided to run a single candidate against the Socialist incumbent. This action caused the Western Clarion, a Vancouver Socialist newspaper, to predict "the com­ plete abandonment of so-called party lines in every part of the province where the labour vote threatens to follow the lead in Ladysmith and Na- naimo."1 The paper lamented that this result would make more difficult "the easy victory of Socialist candidates in three-cornered contests." During the 1920s anti-socialism was not a conspicuous issue although appeals to traditional party supporters to abandon party lines occupied a prominent place in the rhetoric of the Provincial Party.
