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!”

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...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
