Today's Appeal Court win, by Jason Kenney’s Alberta government, adds further fuel to our resolve in fighting the carbon tax


The following was just received from the Conservative Party of BC ... it follows on the heels of news this afternoon of the Alberta Court of Appeals ruling on the Carbon Tax:


FT. ST. JOHN - Upon hearing news of the Alberta government's win in the Alberta Court of Appeal --finding the federally imposed carbon tax unconstitutional -- Conservative Party of BC leader Trevor Bolin announced the following:

“As British Columbia’s ONLY Conservative Party, we have stood strong in our opposition to the Carbon Tax which was first imposed by the BC Liberal’s, and increased over and over since then, including by the current BC NDP government of Premier John Horgan”.

Bolin continued, “Today's Appeal Court win, by Jason Kenney’s Alberta government, adds further fuel to our resolve in fighting the carbon tax.”

“From the beginning of it’s imposition by the BC Liberals, we have been clear in our opposition to this green-washed money grab, that hurts all British Columbians no matter where they live in our province. 

The Carbon Tax has never done what it was intended, and it has failed in being revenue neutral as promised it would be.”

“We know that technologies currently developed, and being developed, are much better able to do the job of protecting our environment – that’s a fact!”.

Leader Trevor Bolin concluded his comments this afternoon by stating, “With what has happened today in neighbouring Alberta, Conservatives here in BC will continue with in our commitment to see the carbon tax scrapped!”

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
