“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

Trudeau, and his Liberal government are NOT 'pricing pollution', they are forcing Canadians to pay a TAX for the just about everything we need to live, and die for that matter!


Yesterday, when Conservative Party leader Andrew Sheer stated that, “Justin Trudeau’s Carbon tax does NOTHING to actually help the environment” ... there was a fairly quick response from Gerald Butts, a senior political adviser and political secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He tweeted that ... "It’s important to respond that most of the country’s (and the world’s) economists and scientists say precisely the opposite. Pricing pollution is an essential part of any serious #ClimateChange plan."

I have news for you Butts ... your federal masters (paying you a salary far higher I am sure than most Canadians) are NOT in fact pricing pollution!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
You are instead hitting Canadians with a TAX on the fuel we need to get to our jobs ... you are hitting us with a TAX on tools carpenters, mechanics, and the like need for their jobs ... its a TAX we pay for increased costs on the homes we buy, and the fuel to heat them ... its an added TAX that gets passed on to us from businesses getting their products to market -- and that INCLUDES the food we eat, and the clothes and footwear we purchase for our children.

In actual fact Butts ... it’s a TAX passed on by your boss Justin Trudeau – an individual who has NEVER in his life every had to working about budgeting for himself, or his family.

What’s the bottom line in this whole commentary, that infuriated me when I saw it?

Here it is.  Trudeau, and his Liberal government are NOT 'pricing pollution', they are forcing Canadians to pay a TAX for the just about everything we need to live, and die for that matter!

Pricing Pollution? No ... I call Bull Shit!

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
