“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

Canada’s Energy Citizens has kicked off their Vote Energy pledge for the upcoming federal election scheduled for this October


“This is a critical moment for our country’s economic future, Canada’s Energy Citizens”, stated last Friday. “We can either support one of the world’s most responsible energy producers, or lose good jobs and billions in investment to other countries with weaker environmental standards”.

Putting in place the right conditions to support our energy sector, is what is needed so that all Canadians will benefit -- whether it’s in new jobs, increased opportunities for indigenous communities and businesses, new investments in local communities or increased revenues to all levels of government to support things like new roads, hospitals and schools.

“With the right policies, Canada can see an extra $45.4 billion in economic activity over the next decade. That will help create more than 120,000 new jobs or indirect jobs!”

Canada’s Energy Citizens are asking all Canadians to take the pledge to help show all candidates running for office, in this Fall’s federal election, just how much Canadians support the good jobs and high environmental standards advanced by our energy sector.

Below are some of the policies which Canada’s Energy Citizens think are important for Canada’s government to advance after the next election.



To help Canada achieve its full potential, we need policies that include, but are not limited to:

  • Supporting completion of currently proposed major pipeline projects and actively support development of additional projects;

  • Repealing Bill C-48 and fixing Bill C-69;

  • Supplying Canada’s domestic oil and natural gas needs with domestic production, in particular by facilitating transportation of oil and natural gas from Western Canada in Central and Atlantic Canada;

  • Increasing the participation of Indigenous communities and businesses in Canada’s oil and natural gas sector;

  • Creating and support the conditions to complete four major LNG projects, on Canada’s West and East Costs;

  • Ensuring Canada’s offshore sector remains globally competitive; and,

  • Withdrawing the proposed Clean Fuel Standard in its entirety, as it will increase costs to both industry and Canadians.

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...
