“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

On SNC-Lavalin, Conservatives will pursue every course of action to make sure Justin Trudeau and his office are held to account


KAMLOOPS:
“I am deeply disturbed by allegations in the Globe and Mail yesterday, that Justin Trudeau’s office attempted to pressure Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was Canada’s Attorney General, to abandon the criminal prosecution of Quebec engineering and construction giant SNC-Lavalin”

The words in that statement, were issued by Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops–Thompson–Cariboo

“Even more shocking” she continued, “is that the Prime Minister may have fired her from her role as our country’s first Indigenous Justice Minister and Attorney General.”

McLeod continued, “We have recently seen this just south of our border, where a leader dismissed his Attorney General for defying orders.”

Cathy McLeod was the first Member of Parliament to raise these allegations in the House of Commons yesterday morning, stating:
“Everyone was so proud that the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada was an Indigenous woman. We congratulated her on her amazing success. We are now learning that the government threw her under the bus.”

It’s not the first time, nor will it be the last Conservatives will accuse the federal Liberal government, of Justin Trudeau, of participating in ‘political interference’.

Twelve months ago in fact, federal Conservatives, including MP Cathy McLeod, were accusing Justin Trudeau of "political interference".

Back then McLeod, as Conservative Indigenous Affairs critic commented, "The tragic death and pain for the family of (Colten Boushie) is unimaginable, and our thoughts are with his community."

Then, came those same words – political interference – as she added, "... we need to let the many steps of an independent judicial process unfold without political interference."

In a media release late this morning, MP McLeod added, “(we have) called for an emergency meeting of the Justice Committee to question the Prime Minister’s Office, and other government officials, over their potential interference in an ongoing criminal prosecution”.

“If Liberals prevent officials from the Prime Ministers Office from testifying, Conservatives will pursue every course of action to make sure Justin Trudeau and his office are held to account,” McLeod concluded.

This story is a long way from being over, and as McLeod stated, “Canadians will be watching carefully to see if Liberal MPs block the request.” 

A request that is tied into and around SNC-Lavalin illegally donating over $100,000 to the Liberal Party of Canada

“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
