“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.

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...
