Following the publishing of the original Who is Tim Laidler, the Politician? post, I was able to access a website that included some content captured from the original timlaidler.ca website which appears to have been utilized during the nomination campaign. The captured content can be seen here. Interestingly, the captured content includes the statement:
My platform is founded on the ideals of moving Canada towards a Strong Economy and Jobs, establishing World Class Care for Veterans in our country, Putting Families First, and a Focus on Port Moody – Coquitlam.
What is indeed curious about this statement is that “establishing World Class Care for Veterans in our country” implies that Canada currently does not have World Class Care for Veterans. Curious that Mr. Laidler would choose to criticize the party that he is running for in his platform for nomination particularly when Mr. Laidler has been a staunch defender of the Conservative’s treatment of Veterans arguing instead that complaints about Veterans’ treatment are coming from a vocal minority and, in some cases, from partisan groups. Maybe Mr. Laidler actually agrees with the vocal minority and allegedly partisans groups after all?
The “Putting Families First” statement appears to be an homage to the BC Liberal party mantra during the last election. It should be noted that it is possible that the captured content may not have been the actual final content utilized during the nomination campaign. Only Mr. Laidler would be able to confirm that.
