“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

Budget 2027: After a Decade of Decline, NDP Budget Delivers an Assault on Seniors, Working Families, and Small Businesses

Peter Milobar, BC Conservative Finance Critic, condemned the NDP government’s latest budget as the result of a decade of decline that has left British Columbians broke, unsafe, and paying more for less.   “After ten years of NDP mismanagement, this budget is an assault on seniors, working families, and the small businesses that drive our economy,” said Milobar. “The NDP have turned their back on the people working hardest to make ends meet and the seniors who built this province.” Milobar pointed to a new $1.1 billion annual income tax increase and warned that the government is piling new costs onto households already struggling with affordability.   “This government keeps asking British Columbians for more, while delivering less,” Milobar said. “The question people are asking is simple: Where has all the money gone?” Milobar noted that BC has gone from a surplus in the first year of NDP government to a projected deficit of more than $13 billion this year, while prov...

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 ...

FORSETH -- Before anyone gets excited about one poll showing a candidate with a 25 percent lead, and 44 percent support overall, let’s give it a few more weeks

Is this based in reality -- how accurate are the numbers? In the past couple of weeks a couple of candidates, for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party, have been presenting polling results that they lead the pack – one even going so far as to say they have a lock on 44% of those who will be voting, and a twenty-five percent lead over the individual ranked second. I am going to say that this one, from Kerry-Lynne Findlay, is highly suspect. First of all the company conducting the poll, ERG National Research, is not a Member of Industry Bodies (the Canadian Research Insights Council), meaning they do not adhere to established industry standards for research, such as transparency, privacy, and methodological rigor. AI Overview states that ... based on alerts from the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and reports, ERG National Research should be treated with extreme caution regarding its reliability, and legitimacy, in conducting political polling. Before I even read this in...
