“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.

CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS: We wanted to show you a headline from this morning


CALGARY:  March 12th, 2019 

U.S. the new oil king as Canadian outlook deteriorates: IEA ... The International Energy Agency’s latest oil forecast sees diverging prospects for the two neighbours’ oil and natural gas industries

One of the main reasons why? Continued delays in building new pipelines.  This is Canada in 2019. How did this happen?

Canada sits on the third largest known reserves on the planet. We are global leaders when it comes to environmental responsibility, innovation and safety. Past surveys* have shown that the world would choose Canadian oil and energy products before any other country in the world.

*People around the world see Canadian oil and natural gas as the energy of the future, according to a new global research survey.

But here’s the cold reality.

A lack of leadership or direct confrontation from political leaders has meant tens of billions of dollars of investment evaporating out of Canada. A range of new policies have made our country less competitive while we let foreign oil continue to sail into our country without the same regulatory challenges.

Those are jobs for all Canadians right across the country that have disappeared and are instead being sent to other countries like the United States, Saudi Arabia or Nigeria. And that’s billions more in government revenues that should be going to things like new roads, hospitals and schools.


To make things even worse, the federal government is piling on with new legislation that will make building new pipelines nearly impossible with bills C-69 and C-48.



That’s unacceptable.

Tell senators and the federal government that Canadians do not back these bills and it’s time to bring investment back into Canada.



Send a letter now ... Take action ... Fight for Canada’s future.

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
