“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.

The Yes to TMX campaign is an Alberta Government initiative. The TMX pipeline is supported by Canadians—including industry and First Nations—across the country

Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage in a media scrum

Last Thursday (May 30th) Energy Minister Sonya Savage announced the start of the Vancouver campaign, which tells British Columbians how they, and all Canadians, will benefit from the project.

This follows the launch of the Ottawa “Yes to TMX” campaign the day before.

“Alberta’s prosperity fuels Canada’s prosperity. Canadians –including British Columbians – rely on the well-paying jobs and economic growth our energy resources provide.

The people of BC say yes to TMX, and it is time their Premier did, too. Supporting TMX is a vote for economic growth and national unity, and is a critical milestone for Canada’s energy sectors”, stated Sonya Savage, Minister of Energy

In asking a spokesperson from the Ministry of Energy, about whether or not the Alberta government would be working in a partnership with pro-resource / Trans Mountain Pipeline groups, I was told:
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney

“The Yes to TMX campaign is an Alberta Government initiative. The TMX pipeline is supported by Canadians—including industry and First Nations—across the country”.

This campaign launch comes on the heels of the unanimous decision by the B.C. Court of Appeal on May 24, which denied the BC government’s attempt to restrict or prohibit the flow of bitumen through the TMX pipeline. The federal government is expected to deliver its decision regarding the future of the TMX project on June 18.

Said Energy Minister Sonya Savage, “Gas prices in the Lower Mainland are the highest in North America. Most of the product that fuels vehicles in the Vancouver area is delivered via the Trans Mountain pipeline. By continuing to obstruct its expansion, the Horgan government is making a bad situation worse.”

As to what role Alberta Premier Jason Kenney would play in this campaign, against continued delays;

“Premier Kenney has been clear that his government’s priorities are to stand up for Alberta, protect the value of energy exports, and get a fair deal for Albertans”, a ministry spokesperson indicated.

They continued, “As part of this, he is committed to getting pipelines built and has instructed the Minister of Energy to do what’s necessary to increase our resource export capacity”.

The campaign in British Columbia will be active via digital display ads in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Surrey and Vancouver, plus print, radio and social media.

People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story

A would-be speaker was arrested under the Trespass Act after she arrived at the University of Victoria on Tuesday for an event intended to shed light on what the OneBC political party refers to as the “reconciliation industry.”  An officer at the scene initially said two people were arrested, after protesters scuffled with those trying to hold the unsanctioned event.

Eby misled British Columbians about Cowichan appeal; court records show no stay was ever filed; Conservative leader John Rustad

Conservative Opposition Leader John Rustad says Premier David Eby has been caught misleading the public after court records confirmed the government never filed the stay of the Cowichan ruling the NDP repeatedly promised. “For four months, the Premier said the stay was being sought, the Attorney General claimed the application was underway, and the government told British Columbians that action was coming. The court record shows they did nothing,” said Rustad. “Not one stay, not one application, not one motion. They made promises to homeowners while the registry sat empty.” Premier Eby first promised on August 11, 2025, that a stay would be filed, then again in October, and twice in Question Period when pressured by the opposition. A review of court documents on Friday revealed that no stay has been filed. Rustad said the stay was the single legal measure that could pause the ruling and protect homeowners in Richmond and across the province while appeals move forward. By...
