Canada strong means Kootenay strong.
This election isn’t business as usual. The United States, our long time neighbour and ally has threatened to make Canada the 51st state. We will never become part of America.
Unfortunately, we are in an economic war and that means Canada needs strong leadership.
The only logical choice is the Liberal Party of Canada under the leadership of Mark Carney. If elected, I will work tirelessly to ensure that we protect and defend Canada from Donald Trump’s threats.
This election is also about whether small community voices like ours will be heard — or left behind — in these challenging economic times.
As a fourth-generation Kootenay resident, I’ve lived the challenges we’re facing: housing that’s out of reach, health care stretched thin, core industries like softwood lumber, mining and energy under pressure, our Columbia River Treaty under threat, and government decisions made without us. We’ve spent too long between parties that don’t deliver. It’s time for unity and results - and we need them now.
Like any clear-eyed economist, I reject the 51st state drift. Tariffs loom, Canadian sovereignty and Kootenay based jobs are on the line. We must stand firm—and for the Kootenays I am the candidate you want to send to Ottawa.
I’ll push for bold federal investment right here: mills humming again, sustainable critical mining, the Columbia River Treaty respected, a sound energy policy, and thriving communities. No ceding ground to external pressure. This campaign is a disciplined journey grounded in local reality. Track it at VoteReggie.ca.
Leadership demands clarity. I’ve delivered— 2010 Olympic logistics management, 2 terms on the COTR (?) Board of Governors, 3 terms elected COTRSA President. In 2016, I helped secure $83 million to sustain our ferry system—a lifeline for Kootenay Lake—proving I deliver when the stakes are high.
Today at Ktunaxa Nation Council, I am part of a team that drives social investment that works here in the Kootenays. For 12 years I managed the Dock n Duck through economic storms, mastering rural business risk. Two RDCK Area E campaigns taught me grit; losses sharpened my edge. With a BBA in Rural Sustainability earned in 2022—while raising four amazing kids with my loving wife - I bring focus and backbone to real, sustainable progress.
Columbia-Kootenay-Southern-Rockies deserves an energetic, progressive voice that’s tough, tested, and local. I’ll steer us forward with energy, insight, and resolve.
The Liberals will win in 2025. Let’s make sure the Columbia Kootenay is at the governing table.

Reggie Goldsbury Liberal Candidate for Columbia-Kootenay-Southern Rockies
This election is not business as usual. The United States, our long time neighbour and ally has declared economic war with massive protectionist tariffs. They've threatened to make Canada the 51st state. Trump's expansionist aspirations are after our resources - minerals, energy, logs, water and more. And the Kootenays are on the front lines. In these volatile times we need the strongest leadership possible.
The only logical choice is the Liberal Party of Canada under the leadership of Mark Carney. We will never become part of America. As your elected Liberal representative with the Carney government, I will work tirelessly to ensure we protect and defend Canada and the Kootenays from Donald Trump’s tariffs. Like any clear-eyed economist, I reject the 51st state drift. We will stand firm—and for the Kootenays I will be the bold voice we need in Ottawa.
As a fourth-generation Kootenay resident, I’ve lived the challenges we’re facing: housing that’s out of reach, health care stretched thin, core industries like softwood lumber, mining and energy under pressure, our Columbia River Treaty under threat, and government decisions made without us.

We all recognize the threat the new American establishment carries. And it's clear our best bet is a Mark Carney led government.
In these challenging times, this election is also about whether small community voices like ours will be heard — or left behind.

The Liberals will win in 2025. We are surging in the polls locally. Let’s make sure the Columbia Kootenay is at the governing table. Vote strategically, vote Liberal and vote for Reggie to build unity, vitality in our communities, economic power, and Kootenay Canadian pride.
