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”.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
