“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

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”.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
