A Message from the Grass Roots in Abbotsford South-Langley…. Mike de Jong’s 30 years of legislative experience is needed over a 24-year-old with absolutely no experience!

Posted: April 1, 2025 in Uncategorized

The Conservative Party of Canada disqualified one of British Columbia’s most experienced politicians, Mike de Jong, from seeking the party’s nomination in Abbotsford-South Langley. Multiple high-level cabinet positions, and an unmatched record of experience, de Jong was unanimously endorsed by the local Electoral District Candidate Selection Committee. And yet, Ottawa shut him down.

No explanation for why a seasoned legislator, skilled negotiator, and long-time public servant was deemed unworthy of the nomination. No clarity, no accountability, no respect for Conservative voters.

No Reasons Given—No Accountability!

So how do local voters feel?

A Grass Roots Conservative supporter has his say:

Mr. Lockwood, a long-term resident of Aldergrove and Conservative supporter sent me a copy of his email to the Conservative Party of Canada’s head office in Ottawa (below), directed to Pierre Poilievre’s attention. As we have described in our previous BLOG Post, the actions of party headquarters were and are an unfathomable and incomprehensible attack against the democratic rights of local party members!

Conservative Party of Canada,

Ottawa, Canada

Pierre et al,  

I am in the riding of Abbotsford-South Langley and will NOT be supporting the Conservative candidate in view of how the nomination process was handled. I happily made my $1000 donation to Mike de Jong running as an independent candidate to show my displeasure and support for the best candidate for the election – a person with the past demonstrated experience to be sitting at the executive council level aka cabinet.

Conservative HQ is out of touch with main street reality in many ways and Poilievre’s Trump-Lite tactics are not sitting well with many……especially those of us with international business experience…..

Mike de Jong is needed in Ottawa to provide strong representation to the residents of Abbotsford South-Langley and the greater region of the South of the Fraser! In over 30 years serving in senior minister positions in the B.C. Government, Mike has developed an unequalled number of relationships with senior federal staff and politicians in both major political parties in Ottawa. Those relationships will serve Mike and our region well sitting as an independent representing Abbotsford South-Langley.

Just in: Mike de Jong lawn signs are now available – they’re not your average campaign signs! Whether you want it installed or prefer to pick it up, it’s easy:
