“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.

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

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
