“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

One party, and one party only, stands for true conservatism ... true science based environmental protection ... true social services for those needing a hand up.




Former mine site which was to have re-opened as the
Ajax open-pit copper and gold mine near Kamloops

Ajax Mine has been a divisive topic in Kamloops.  I am proud to say however that BC Conservative Party has, and will continue to, stand up for responsible resource development in British Columbia.

Jobs in the mining industry pay over $100,000 per year.  In addition to that, these jobs create an additional 2+ spin-off jobs from every one of those mining jobs!

Thousand of young people have gone through Thompson Rivers University here in Kamloops, and other schools of training through-out the province, to learn jobs in the resource industry.  These individuals are our children ... our husbands and wives ... friends ... and other family members. 



They need jobs that will match the skills they have trained for!

We cannot expect to have the social services we desire ... nor health care services ... nor schools ... hospital buildings ... road construction and more ... without high paying jobs. 



 Fast food and coffee jockeys won't do it!

That is why I am proud that the BC Conservative Party took a stand on AJAX Mine ... and a stand on any and all future resource development that is able to pass stringent environmental standards.

Did the BC Liberals take this stand while in government?  NO THEY DID NOT!

If they had, then perhaps this development would now already be well underway, in building the facilities to process the copper and gold.



One party, and one party only, stands for true conservatism ... true science based environmental protection ... true social services for those needing a hand up.



It IS NOT the BC Liberals.

It is not John Horgan's BC NDP

And it certainly is NOT the Green Party of Andrew Weaver.



It's time to get on board --- let's build a team to excite the right!



I'm Alan Forseth in Kamloops.  The floors is now yours to share your thoughts.

    I concur with you that it is time to build a team to allow the voters to have a new option to vote for. You state a team should be built to excite the right. I say a team should be built to excite the voters! A new team will have new ideas to excite the voters. I saw that in Ontario when Mike Harris became premier. Unfortunately Alan you decided to join a party that has a history of being incompetent. And the so called interim leader is one of those individuals who has sat on the Executive and contributed to the incompetency. He could even get it right when he announced his appointment as interim leader and claimed the Executive would allow him to run for the permanent leader position if he chose to. The events that have occurred in that party will certainly become a topic of discussion in the next provincial election and the voters will once again over whelmingly reject the party as a credible option to the present old line parties. We presently have two individuals with a conservative viewpoint running for leadership of the BC Liberals. I am not so sure either one of them will be successful. I am hopeful therefore that if either one of them is not successful, a new party will be created. On Saturday night I attended a function where the vast majority of individuals were provincial Liberals. When I mentioned the BC Conservatives as an option some of them just out right laughed. NOT one person I spoke to was interested in the BC Conservatives. And unfortunately I did not get any excitement regarding the creation of a new party. Anyways I guess time will tell how things shake out in BC politics.

      Sorry however I disagree strongly with your comments about Scott.

      As to bringing up the topic of the BC Conservatives at a Liberal event, well of course they are not going to say anything positive within earshot of others. Remarkably, that is simply another sign of the negative poison within thier party. Liberals are Liberals ... Conservatives are Conservative. Let the Liberals be the spendthrifts they are, unencumbered by the few conservatives in their ranks, Meantime, small 'c' conservatives should come home where they are needed -- the BC Conservative Party.

      Rest assured, after the BC Liberals elect their new party leader -- an individual who WILL BE of the spending ways of their federal counter parts -- TRUE conservatives will abandon them in droves -- joining those who are already now coming on board.

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
