The statements about his career, his Habitat for Humanity volunteering and his date of joining the party come only from the party's page about him and are unchecked. The page names no employer, no Habitat for Humanity organization and no party role. voche.me found no campaign website, social media account, interview, debate or news report of his own. The web search tool had reached its usage limit on 2026-10-03, so the name search was limited to direct reads of public pages and a check of public Bluesky accounts, and a fuller search may find more. The party's 100 newest public Bluesky posts (2026-06-06 to 2026-10-02) and its news page do not name him or Courtenay-Comox. His page lists social media icons for the party's accounts only. One website under the address jasoncook.ca answers, but it mentions neither Centre BC nor Courtenay, so no page ties it to this candidacy and it is left out. CentreBC has published no 2026 election platform: its Our Policy page says its Policy Committee is still developing its first policy areas. All-candidates meetings in the district, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. The questionnaire has not been sent.
