“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

More than just focusing on pipeline and fuel issues however, Bolin expanded further on building BC, its economy, and well-paying jobs


In a recent message to members, BC Conservative Party leader Trevor Bolin stated, “We have done it ... the Made in BC platform has been viewed by over 1,000,000 British Columbians in only 35 days. With your help our message has been resonating with folks from all over this great province”.

Bolin continued, “I set out with a goal of getting in front of 1,000,000 people in 90 days, and we did it with 55 days to spare, but I am not going to slow down. We recently rolled out #5 It’s About You. People are tired of a government that isn’t accountable to us and the people that put them in power”.

“We have seen what happens when governments listen to wealthy corporate donors and special interest groups. We all pay the price of those mistakes. It’s time to put people back in power in this province, and we are the only party that can and will do that”.


Recently Facebook has been chock full of messages about the BC Liberals blaming the NDP for high gas prices, and the BC NDP blaming the Liberals for money laundering and corruption.

I asked Trevor about that recently, and his comment was: “In all honesty, all we see from the BC Liberals is how the NDP are doing it wrong, and that is all we seen the decade and half before this government was about the BC Liberals doing it wrong in the eyes of the NDP”. 

He then went on to say, “The BC Conservatives are about how we can do it right.  We are about listening to the people of British Columbia and working towards solutions”.

Going back to the Conservative message to members, Party leader Trevor Bolin revealed that he had recently messaged NDP Premier John Horgan offering the advice to:

  1. lower the provincial taxes on fuel 
  2. remove the legislation mandating all vehicles will be non fuel operated by 2040 and ... 
  3. encourage both the expansion as well as creation of an additional refinery in British Columbia.


“That has unfortunately fallen on deaf ears. These three steps would not only immediately give British Columbians relief at the pumps, but ensure that long term sustainable fuels are available”, he remarked.

More than just focusing on pipeline and fuel issues however, Bolin expanded further on building BC, its economy, and well-paying jobs;


“The BC Conservatives are in favour of supporting our diverse economy in British Columbia.  This includes forestry, fishing, natural gas, agriculture, tourism and everything else that makes B.C. the most diverse province in the country.  

Forestry has played a major role in jobs, provincial funding and GDP growth for many decades in B.C.  We have an opportunity to continue seeing the benefits, and need to ensure we do it right so generations after us see the same benefits”.

And about government accountability, on this issue Bolin spoke strongly and without reservation in a recent interview:
“How about parties should uphold the promises they make, whether they speak at a function or market it on billboards ... be accountable to the people like everyday is an Election Day”. 


That mirrored a post made to Twitter Thursday in which the party made the stated positions that ... this is our BC and we will make government about people ... MLAs will be responsible for the promises made to constituents ... (our) platforms and policies will represent all British Columbians alike ... and finally that a BC Conservative government would be ... accountable, transparent & open.

For those in the following areas, and interested in finding out more, the BC Conservatives will be holding public meetings in the following locations over the next week and a half:

- New Westminster Pints & Politics - May 25
- Abbotsford Region Information Meeting - June 5
- Chilliwack Region Information Meeting - June 7

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...
