“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

We are once again witnessing a government that does not listen to the people; saying it is, does not make it so


On the eve of tomorrows Annual General Meeting in Abbotsford, BC Conservatives say we are once again witnessing a government that does not listen to the people.

BC Conservative leader Trevor Bolin
“Simply saying it is, does not make it so”, BC Conservative leader Trevor Bolin stated, just before boarding a late afternoon plane out of the Peace River country, bound for Abbotsford.

“Our current NDP government, led by Premier John Horgan, must truly believe that they’re doing a great job because that it’s all we see in current press releases, and media stories”.

The Conservative leader continued, “This Premier promised consultation with local communities, and British Columbians, over hot topic items such as the Caribou habitat, and park areas, in Northern BC”.

“He went so far as to appoint former South Peace MLA Blair Lekstrom as a liaison in the Peace River area, to help in creating a Caribou rescue plan; then just three weeks ago Lekstrom publicly denounced the process, informing those he was appointed to represent, that none of his suggestions were recognized by the Premier”.

According to the BC Conservatives, a government media release today was filled with comments about public consultation, working with communities affected, and making this about benefits to British Columbians. 
 
“Here’s what they told us”, said Bolin.  “They said they had achieved an ‘historic agreement that strives to protect southern mountain caribou in northeastern B.C., while considering the social and economic well-being of communities and stakeholders in the region’”. 

Given the resignation of Lekstrom, and his recent comments, it appears that is not the case, as the BC Conservatives leader, Trevor Bolin, concluded with this statement;

“We are all British Columbians and we all deserve a Government that listens, cares, and acts for the best interest of its people”.

BC Conservatives will meet tomorrow in Abbotsford, for their Annual General Meeting.  It gets underway at 9am, at The Rancho, on Delair Road.

Budget 2027: After a Decade of Decline, NDP Budget Delivers an Assault on Seniors, Working Families, and Small Businesses

Peter Milobar, BC Conservative Finance Critic, condemned the NDP government’s latest budget as the result of a decade of decline that has left British Columbians broke, unsafe, and paying more for less.   “After ten years of NDP mismanagement, this budget is an assault on seniors, working families, and the small businesses that drive our economy,” said Milobar. “The NDP have turned their back on the people working hardest to make ends meet and the seniors who built this province.” Milobar pointed to a new $1.1 billion annual income tax increase and warned that the government is piling new costs onto households already struggling with affordability.   “This government keeps asking British Columbians for more, while delivering less,” Milobar said. “The question people are asking is simple: Where has all the money gone?” Milobar noted that BC has gone from a surplus in the first year of NDP government to a projected deficit of more than $13 billion this year, while prov...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

FORSETH -- Before anyone gets excited about one poll showing a candidate with a 25 percent lead, and 44 percent support overall, let’s give it a few more weeks

Is this based in reality -- how accurate are the numbers? In the past couple of weeks a couple of candidates, for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party, have been presenting polling results that they lead the pack – one even going so far as to say they have a lock on 44% of those who will be voting, and a twenty-five percent lead over the individual ranked second. I am going to say that this one, from Kerry-Lynne Findlay, is highly suspect. First of all the company conducting the poll, ERG National Research, is not a Member of Industry Bodies (the Canadian Research Insights Council), meaning they do not adhere to established industry standards for research, such as transparency, privacy, and methodological rigor. AI Overview states that ... based on alerts from the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and reports, ERG National Research should be treated with extreme caution regarding its reliability, and legitimacy, in conducting political polling. Before I even read this in...
