“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

When voters head to the polls for the next provincial election, the riding of Kelowna-Mission will be strongly represented with our Made in BC 5 Point plan ~~ Trevor Bolin, BC Conservative Party leader



MLA Steve Thomson
FORT ST. JOHN (12 / 09 / 19): 

Yesterday it was announced that after serving the people of Kelowna- Mission for the past 10 years, BC Liberal MLA Steve Thomson will not be running in next election.



“We are taking this opportunity to thank Mr. Thomson; not only for his service as an MLA to the people of Kelowna - Mission, but also as a former President of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Executive Director of the BC Agriculture Council, as well as the General Manager of the BC Fruit Growers Association and BC Milk Producers Association”, said BC Conservative leader Trevor Bolin.



Bolin continued, “In the most recent survey (by Insights West), support for the BC Conservatives has continued the trend of increased backing by decided voters, and now sits at 20 percent in the Interior of the province”.

“In approximately 22 months, voters in British Columbians will head to the polls for the next provincial election, and the riding of Kelowna - Mission will be strongly represented with our Made in BC 5 Point Plan”.

“Forestry workers, resource workers, those in ranching and agriculture, and every other hard-working British Columbian deserve better than they have been receiving under the current or previous government”.



“We’ll be there to provide it!”, Bolin concluded.

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
