“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

Time and again, a clear majority of Canadians have said they want new pipelines built in Canada. This is why we’d like to say thank you to Canada’s senators for doing the right thing


On May 30th, Canadian Senators voted to accept comprehensive amendments to Bill C-69.

With all these amendments, Bill C-69 would ensure a timely and effective approval process.  Without them, it will send a troubling message that Canada is a place not interested in getting big projects, like pipelines, built.

In a statement from Canada’s Energy Citizens, they made it known that, “Based on the feedback they received, members of the Senate’s Energy and Environment Committee made several amendments to Bill C-69 – ensuring the bill provides a workable regulatory process for major projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline”.

“When someone does the right thing, it’s important that be recognized. This is why we’d like to say thank you to Canada’s senators for the tremendous job they did listening to the concerns of tens of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast to coast with Bill C-69 and what this devastating legislation will do to families and the future of our country”.

The bill will now be voted on a final time by senators in third reading and it will then be up to the federal cabinet and government to decide whether they’ll accept or reject the amendments.

“We believe Canadians have been clear on Bill C-69. A multi-partisan consensus of premiers across the country, from Alberta, to Ontario, to Newfoundland and Labrador, told the Senate an unchanged Bill C-69 would do damage to our economy”, stated Canada’s Energy Citizens.

Time and time again when asked, a clear majority of Canadians have said they want new pipelines built in Canada. In January, six in ten Canadians called a lack of pipeline capacity a crisis.   


Now it’s time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government to listen, and accept the work of Canada’s Senators.

Canada’s Energy Citizens are asking you to write to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and his government,  and demand that they accept the Senate’s amendments.

Sincerely,
Canada's Energy Citizens

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...
