Dear Greg,
Many British Columbians are hurting right now, whether it be because they lost their home, are on evacuation order, or cannot go outside because of the heavy smoke.
With devastating wildfires in the Okanagan, Shuswap, North East BC and throughout British Columbia, there are so many people that need a helping hand.
That's why we are raising money for the Canadian Red Cross' BC Wildfire Appeal, going specifically towards supporting people affected by the wildfires in BC.
Your fellow British Columbians need your help, so please give whatever you can to our campaign:
DONATE TO THE RED CROSS
On behalf of BC United, thank you for supporting your fellow British Columbians.
Sincerely,
Lindsay Cote

B.C. NDP accuses B.C. United of 'data-mining scheme' through Red Cross wildfire donation site
The B.C. United party said the NPD's baseless political attack distracts from the Red Cross wildfire donation drive.

Article content
The B.C. NDP have accused political rival B.C. United of using a Canadian Red Cross wildfire donation page to harvest people’s personal information for partisan purposes.
The official Opposition denied the allegations and said the NDP is turning a legitimate fundraising drive into political theatre.
B.C. United party Leader Kevin Falcon and opposition MLAs shared a link Thursday calling for wildfire donations through a specialized micro-site that includes the party logo.
In a news release, NDP MLA Ravi Parmar said collecting donations this way would give the party access to the donor’s personal information including their name, address, cellphone number and email address.
(Greg: True but would they not already have that info from donors (me) and party members I received the appeal by email from BC United just like they send me emails on a regular basis also you can uncheck the consent to info gathering it is in plain English which I did.)
The micro-site includes a privacy disclaimer that says: “In making your donation you are consenting to the Canadian Red Cross disclosing your donation information to B.C. United.”
Parmar, MLA for Langford-Juan de Fuca, called the donation page a “despicable data-mining scheme.” (Greg: Bit over the top NDP rookie MLA you are no John Horgan prove me wrong hope Mr Horgan who was a good Premier is enjoying retirement he used to be the MLA in your riding.)
“Kevin Falcon and his party are exploiting this crisis and the generosity of British Columbians to harvest their personal information,” he said. “We shouldn’t need to tell Kevin Falcon that the worst wildfire season in our history isn’t an opportunity to help himself or his party.”
B.C. United House Leader Todd Stone disputed that characterization, saying the NPD’s “baseless partisan attack” overshadows a genuine attempt to raise funds for displaced wildfire victims.
He stressed that the privacy disclaimer is standard practice on all Canadian Red Cross micro-sites, allowing participating organizations to personally thank donors. The party is talking to the Red Cross about removing the disclaimer and taking away the ability to access donor emails, said Stone, who represents Kamloops-South Thompson.
A spokesperson for the Canadian Red Cross B.C. and Yukon branch, said in a statement that no personal donation information has been provided or will be provided to B.C. United.
“The donation information that will be disclosed for this third-party fundraiser is the summary of total donations, which only includes the dates and dollar amounts. No names or personal contact details of individual donors would be provided.” (Greg: The website says different. I have caught charities like MS Society (not getting another donation from me) and Greenpeace lying to me about basic factual information.)
Any personal donor information collected by the Canadian Red Cross is solely for tax purposes, the statement said. (Greg: The microsite as you call it says different.)
In a cheap attempt to score political points, Stone said, the NDP has diverted attention and resources from the Canadian Red Cross and those impacted by wildfires.
“It’s distasteful to suggest the Red Cross is in the business of data-mining on behalf of any third party,” he said. (Greg: Bad optics to say the least for all 3 groups involved. The BC United Appeal has in 3 days raised $4,225 not much for a party with 43,000 members https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BC_United )

Maybe if NAME RETRACTED BY COURT ORDER wasn't such a creep ppl would not shun him and he would have a wife and not have had to flee Canada and sell his home which had internal structural damage which of course he did not tell the buyers such dishonesty. Not safe to date these ppl not at all.
