“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

Leadership Race launch is the start of a new chapter for the BC Conservative Party


This is one of those rare occasions when I promote something specifically to do with the BC Conservative Party.  The following has been submitted by Andrew Mann, Leadership Committee Chair for the BC Conservative Party:






I’m excited to announce that today marks the launch of the British Columbia Conservative Party leadership race. We will be accepting nomination forms until December 31, and on February 23, 2019 we will elect a new leader. To inquire about running to be our new leader, or if you would like to get involved with the party, please go to our website at www.bcconservative.ca. 

This leadership race is the start of a new chapter for our party and our province. British Columbia deserves better than it has been getting for the past decades. We have watched three political parties trying to get into our wallets while distracting us with semantics.

Only one party in British Columbia opposes the money grab euphemistically called the “Carbon Tax,” or as Ralph Goodall now calls it, the “Environmental Regulatory Charge.”

Only one party stands shoulder to shoulder with the other western provinces in saying "no" to this green-washed tax grab.




Only one party supports a full overhaul of the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in order to reduce insurance rates for BC drivers.

Only one party has proposed forward thinking policies on ride-sharing, autonomous vehicles, and free market cannabis distribution, to name a few.

Only one party, the British Columbia Conservative Party, stands tall for conservative values in BC.

British Columbians should Demand Better from our government. It's time to bring a Conservative voice back to the Legislature.

Important Information: 
Leadership Race ... now open 
Nomination Deadline ... December 31, 2018 

Leadership Election to be held February 23, 2019 
Location: Hotel Grand Pacific 
463 Belleville Street, Victoria

  1. I've always been a Conservative. They seem to have the values I like to see in government.

Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper to step down for Conservative Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to run in a by-election

Deputy Whip and MLA Reann Gasper has informed the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia of her decision to step down as MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, creating an opportunity for Conservative Party of British Columbia Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to seek the seat in a forthcoming by-election. Gasper said the decision was made carefully and deliberately, with the future of British Columbia firmly in mind. Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper “This is a decision I have made after a great deal of careful consideration, and I believe it is the right decision for me, for our Party, and for the work ahead,” said MLA Gasper. “It has been a privilege to represent the people of Abbotsford-Mission, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who placed their trust in me. I am also grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside my colleagues in the Conservative Caucus and to contribute to our leadership team.” “I have confidence in Kerry-Lynne, in her leadership, and in her ability to ...

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
