Leader John Rustad faces a test after 13 members of his caucus have asked him to essentially discipline Conservative MLA Elenore Sturko for comments that she made about a former Vancouver Police Board member. The signed letter published by radio host Jas Johal on X Thursday (Dec. 5) calls on Rustad to "invite" Sturko to "offer" Comfort Sakoma-Fadugba a written apology after Sturko had criticized her, following Sakoma-Fadugba's controversial remarks about the nature of Canadian society. Sakoma-Fadugba left her position Nov. 22 after several social media posts linked to her became public. Screenshots of the Instagram stories linked to Sakoma-Fadugba show Reddit posts lamenting the loss of Christian values in the face of immigration and criticized "woke culture" as well gender transitions. The alleged statements cost Sakoma-Fadugba her job on the police board and drew criticism from various corners of the political spectrum, including Sturko, a former RCMP officer and member of the LGBTQ2S+ community. “When we have statements being made that erode the public’s trust, or their comfort with their police service, it makes it that much harder on the front-line officers," Sturko told the CBC in November. But this statement did not sit well with her 13 colleagues, calling on Rustad to ask Sturko for the apology "and to encourage the Vancouver Police Board to advance conciliatory discussions with (Sakoma-Fadugba)." But that is not their only demand. "If Ms. Sturko declines your invitation, we ask that you offer this apology and encouragement on behalf of the Conservative caucus," they write. This double-demand appears to put Rustad in a double-bind. He either follows the demands from his part of his caucus ostensibly aimed at one of their own or he undermines the position of Sturko by issuing an apology on her behalf. "The way he responds will tell us something about where his own loyalties lie," UBC political scientist Stewart Prest said. "We do know that he is quite supportive of articulations of these kinds of more critical views of modernity ... so it may be that he has a certain amount of sympathy with the letter writers and his response will tell us whether that's the case. At the same time, a leader has another responsibility to the larger caucus as well. It may be that there are other members of the caucus who feel (Sturko) was quite correct in offering that assessment, and then has nothing to apologize for." Found within the letter is also a larger expression of sympathy for Sakoma-Fadugba's statements and a request to Rustad to give those views room by reminding him of what the signatories consider Rustad's own views to be. "The posts express views many Conservatives (including Conservative MLAs and staff) hold in support for parental rights, religious faith, and the pursuit of shared Canadian values," it reads. "Under your leadership, the Conservative Party of BC has consistently denounced 'cancel culture' and stood for the Charter rights British Columbians enjoy to free expression and freedom of religion," it reads. "The very first question you raised in the (legislature) as leader was in defence of parental rights." “Will the minister admit this SOGI 123 has been divisive and an assault on parents’ rights and a distraction to student education?” Rustad asked on Oct. 3, 2023. That question drew a rebuke from Premier David Eby, who called the question "outrageous" in accusing Rustad of leveraging children for culture-war purposes. “Shame on him," Eby said. "Choose another question." Prest called the letter a "deliberately provocative approach" that speaks to the ideological divisions within the party now for everyone to see. "It's putting right out in the open something we knew was going to be part of this, this challenging political coalition bringing together more populist-style conservatives with more, if you like, centrist or politically moderate types such (Sturko)." None of the 13 signatories once sat with Sturko when she was part of BC United and all were elected on Oct. 13 as first time Conservative candidates. Of note, is also the geographical representation of the MLAs. Eleven signatories represent ridings outside of Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria including areas in the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan. Three signatories – Dallas Brodie (Vancouver-Quilchena), Brent Chapman (Surrey-South) and Anna Kindy (North Island) – have also found their names in the news over comments that they had made before or during the election campaign, with Chapman being perhaps the most widely reported one following his comments about Palestinian children made in 2015. "I would suggest that we are seeing to emerge, perhaps the makings of which you could almost call a Freedom Caucus in the (Conservative Party of B.C.), the sense that there's a group within a group that looks at the world quite differently than other members of that caucus," Prest said. This is not the first time that Sturko has been the object of criticism from within the Conservative Party of B.C. While still with B.C. United, Conservative candidate Paul Ratchford had called her a "woke, lesbian, social justice warrior." At the same time, Sturko had also been critical of the Conservatives, while still with B.C. United. In early October 2023, Sturko called on Rustad to apologize after appearing to draw a comparison with harms caused by residential schools and parental concerns about SOGI 123. Rustad denied making such a comparison. Sturko also called on Rustad to apologize after he had referred to being LGBTQ2S+ as a "lifestyle" in a media interview. When asked to comment on the letter from her colleagues, Sturko said deferred to Rustad. "This letter was addressed to John. I'm going to allow him the opportunity to speak to it at this time." Black Press Media has reached out to the Conservative Party of B.C., including Rustad's spokesperson and Rustad himself for comment.

The question of whether Biden might grant unprecedented preemptive pardons to a range of public figures who might find themselves in the crosshairs of Donald Trump’s second administration remains unanswered. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday repeatedly refused to say whether Biden is even considering such a test of the president’s pardon power, which could theoretically be invoked to prevent the next administration from investigating or bringing charges against people known to be antagonists of the incoming president. “I'm not going to get ahead of the president, but what I can say is that the president is reviewing other pardons and commutations,” said Jean-Pierre. “As you know, commutations and pardons are usually done when it's the president's final term, historically around the holidays. And so certainly, there'll be more to come,” she added. Jean-Pierre said she was “not going to get into deliberations, private deliberations” when pressed further on the matter. According to people familiar with the internal deliberations, the president and his top aides have been having discussions about whether he should offer or unilaterally issue the sweeping grants of clemency to prominent Trump critics. The group being considered for preemptive relief could include current and former lawmakers from both parties, as well as former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases boss Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired US Army General Mark Milley, former Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney, California Senator-elect Adam Schiff, and other former Trump administration officials who have become critical of their former boss in the years since his first term ended in 2021. It’s unclear what criminal charges any of those Trump antagonists could face, but the incoming president’s allies — including his FBI director-designate, Kash Patel — have indicated a desire to prosecute top Democrats and other Trump critics as retribution for the multiple criminal cases brought against him during the president-elect’s years out of office. Patel has gone so far as to include a list of so-called “deep state” members who he believes warrant prosecution. That list includes Schiff, as well as California Representative Eric Swalwell, Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, ex-domestic policy adviser Susan Rice, USAID administrator Samantha Power, as well as Milley, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Vice President Kamala Harris. At least one Democrat in Congress, Pennsylvania Representative Brendan Boyle, has endorsed the idea of preemptive pardons. It was reportedly Trump’s choice of Patel, announced late last week, that pushed Biden towards granting the pardon to his son for any crimes he might have committed over a ten-year period starting in 2014, the year he joined the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. Biden’s decision, which he announced in a written statement last Sunday, came after months of both him and Jean-Pierre categorically denying that he would even consider a pardon for his son, who was facing sentencing on felony charges for lying on a gun purchase and for tax evasion. Pressed on whether she or Biden owed any apology for having repeatedly lied about his intentions, Jean-Pierre would only say that the president had “wrestled’ with the decision. She also appeared to credit one of Biden’s congressional allies, South Carolina Representative James Clyburn, for ultimately pushing him to issue the pardon.
Dejan Kulusevski cannot wait for the opportunity to play against Manchester City again after Tottenham ran riot at the Etihad Stadium. The Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding performance as Spurs shattered the champions’ 52-game unbeaten home run, helping start the rout with a superb cross for James Maddison’s opening goal. Kulusevski said: “I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. “So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God. “I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players. “Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality. “It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football. When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going.” Maddison stole the show with two goals in quick succession in the first half while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson later got on the scoresheet. Kulu-chef-ski cooked 👨🍳 📊 @KumhoTyreUK pic.twitter.com/CsrTh5oUgn — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) November 24, 2024 Yet Kulusevski’s performance was also eye-catching and the player himself believes there is plenty more to come from him. Asked if his form made him feel “unstoppable”, Kulusevski said: “I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve. “I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better. “I think I have something that no other player has. With my engine, with my heart – I don’t get tired – I feel like I can do a lot still in my career.” Spurs have won more matches against Pep Guardiola's Man City than any other side 👀 pic.twitter.com/BHLZqde9sP — Premier League (@premierleague) November 23, 2024 Tottenham’s scintillating performance marked a spectacular return to form after their dismal loss to Ipswich in their previous Premier League outing. Kulusevski said: “We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point. We just have to be better in other games. “This game suited us perfectly but we have a lot of improvement to make in the other games.”
For years, appearing more interested in accumulating and exercising power than in pursuing the interests of the American people, both national parties have approached politics as a fixed-rules game. At all levels of public office, Democrats and Republicans played the same game, and, upon winning, claimed their victories to be the result of superior strategies. Few considered that their successes were made possible by the failures or overreach of their opponents. But, in politics, the rules can change in ways status quo careerists miss – as they did in Election 2024. Many registered voters are Democrats or Republicans simply because their families are or were. In many cases, party identity is emotional rather than logical, and voters often align with a party based on their personal histories and feelings rather than for practical reasons. As a result, many busy people leading normal lives who don’t focus on politics are unaware that their party’s policies don’t match their political and social priorities. This year, quite a few hard-working, rather conservative registered, including minority Democrats, fell into this category. In November, many of them were repelled by their party’s miscalculations, and liberal excesses, and, for practical reasons, were drawn to and voted for Donald Trump, because he changed the rules. Trump spoke to them, while national Democrats, individually and as a group, had lost sight of the fact that good governance is the primary responsibility of public servants. Furthermore, politics is – or should be – about ideas. And ideas necessarily involve principles. Trump and Republicans focused on the economy, spending, debt, crime and immigration, among other issues on which Democrats fell short. But, another reason Democrats lost is because they refused to factually engage. They were unwilling to try – or unable – to persuade voters and win votes by defending their records, clearly contrasting the differences between the parties’ principles, and communicating and connecting the value to the lives of voters and their families. Kamala Harris’ most consistent campaign messages were redundant, clearly-rehearsed, semi-coherent sound-bites. Her canned stump speeches focused on insulting and slandering Trump. In fact, Harris advanced no real ideas to correct the problems she and President(ish) Joe Biden created. Their administration’s and Harris’ campaign failures have effectively neutered national Democrats, many (most?) of whom remain in denial. Now, crossover voters view Election 2024 results as a clear statement of things that must be done and expect the new administration to take that statement seriously. Accordingly, Republicans have something to prove. They were given an opportunity, in their leader’s words, to Make America Great Again. Fortunately, Election 2024 results will give Donald Trump/his cabinet great latitude to make necessary changes that, in past years, might have been politically difficult, even impossible. Democrats will hate and resist them, but the people have spoken, so obstruction will only set their party back further. Just for starters, in the next two-plus years: Democrats’ pursuit of high taxes and unrestrained spending will at least be arrested, and most likely reversed. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) will fade away, primarily because Americans, generally, believe in merit and dislike discrimination in employment and education. Election 2024 discredited the massive corporate, government and cultural pressure to impose and enforce DEI. Parents will be given greater control of their children’s education. Deeply unpopular, open borders will be closed, and illegal aliens deported. Obstinate sanctuary cities and states will risk losing funding. Voting rights will be denied to all but properly registered, legal American citizens. America will stop suppressing the production of carbon-based energy, and end mandates and subsidies for expensive, unreliable renewables. America’s military will ban “wokeness” and restore its lethality. Americans might tolerate another “trans visibility day” provided it doesn’t fall on Easter again, the celebrants agree to stay out of sight of our children, and let the rest of us alone the rest of the year. “America first” will become a national mantra. America will throw a helluva 250th birthday celebration in 2026! Retrospectively, due to the GOP’s focused message and highly effective voter outreach efforts, and because Democrats had blundered and overreached, Republicans more closely reflected the mood of the American electorate in November. But, that mood can change, and it will if Republicans fail to address the Democrats’ failures and misguided priorities that contributed to the GOP’s sweeping, historic victory.
