“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.

BC Conservatives say, ‘The good news? We aren’t gathering to just talk about issues facing British Columbians; we are gathering to plan our future -- the future of British Columbia -- a future that includes us all’


BC Conservatives are a day away (Saturday) from their Annual General Meeting, in Abbotsford, and according to Party officials, excitement is growing about the possibilities, and future, for a party that was once a strong force in the province.

One of the reasons for our growing appeal over the past several months”, related Conservative Party leader Trevor Bolin, “Is that people are realizing the need for a common sense choice, or option; and people need that choice, now more than ever”.

At the AGM, according to Bolin, the membership will continue on the road to forming policies, and a platform, that will benefit families, create jobs, reduce the cost of living and set BC on a course that we can be proud of for generations.

We have seen the long term effects the BC Liberals have caused in initiating a Carbon Tax which hurt B C families, and did little to benefit the environment”, Bolin remarked.

We have seen the continuation of high sky rates from ICBC, money laundering claims relating to sky high real estate prices in some areas of the province, and the list does on”.

However, I would be remiss”, he continued, “if we did not talk about the NDP’s brief, yet extremely negative effects of increased taxes, blocking resource projects, and sitting by idly as a once proud forest industry declines into in shambles”.

All of these issues are the direct result of a government, led by Premier John Horgan, that has been negligent in its disregard to engaging with, or listening to, British Columbians”.

The party is encouraging all members to attend the Annual General Meeting, which gets underway tomorrow in Abbotsford at 9am; being held at The Rancho on Delair Road.

We need the involvement not just of members, but of all British Columbians, to help in creating a party that will shape the future of BC using common sense”.

Bolin concluded his comments by stating, “Here’s the good news. We aren’t gathering to just talk about issues facing British Columbians; we are gathering to plan our future -- the future of British Columbia -- a future that includes us all”.

FORSETH: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

Conservative Economic Team Responds to Urgent Industry Concerns

 " For far too long, the BC NDP has ignored the economic challenges facing British Columbians. Manufacturing jobs are vanishing, forestry is in decline, and private sector employment growth has stagnated. Meanwhile, affordability has worsened for both families and businesses. British Columbians deserve better, and we’re here to deliver real solutions to rebuild our economy and create jobs that support everyday working people and their families ." – Gavin Dew, MLA and Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economy, Development, and Innovation.   December 3, 2024, Vancouver, BC – The Conservative economic team met today with business leaders and stakeholders to tackle critical issues impacting British Columbia’s economy. Attended by 9 critics from the Conservative Caucus, this meeting was convened by MLA Gavin Dew – Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economic Development, and Innovation - as a direct response to an October 30th open letter from seven of the province’s largest industry associations. ...

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
