“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

As we enter 2020, the BC NDP have yet to roll out any plans to ensure BC forestry workers get back to work


Early this morning (January 17th) Trevor Bolin, leader of the BC Conservatives, sent a message to all members of the party --- here is the text of that message:


My fellow British Columbians,

As we embark on a New Year for BC families, it’s the start of a new decade, and many new firsts... but for the BC NDP and BC Liberals we have seen it all before.

British Columbia’s oldest resource sector, forestry, was put on life support in 2019 from the mistakes of both the current government and the previous government.  As we enter 2020, the BC NDP have yet to roll out any plans to ensure BC forestry workers get back to work, and that our industry is financially and environmentally sustainable for generations to come. 

After today’s court ruling in favour of the Trans Mountain Pipeline, let’s hope Premier (John) Horgan and the NDP are done wasting our money fighting Alberta and the very industry keeping us warm and safe.

The BC Liberals are in high hopes that we are all too busy dealing with the insanely cold weather and some of the largest snowstorms in decades to notice Global News has uncovered yet another scandal, this one involving more money laundering, bribes and organized crime all under the watchful eye of the BC Liberals. 


Same ol’ Liberals, new logo... just lipstick on a pig.

British Columbia deserves more, British Columbians deserve better, The BC Conservatives believe in putting people first: first in communities, first in jobs right here at home, first in health care and first in government.

Please join us in telling the BC NDP and the BC Liberals that we stand together for a Better British Columbia.

Yours Sincerely,

Trevor Bolin, Leader
BC Conservative Party

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...
