“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

And this comment, from MLA Todd Stone, pretty much sums things up .... “It’s complete amateur hour in NDP land folks”


Many, like me, woke up this morning and wondered .... WHAT THE HELL WENT ON last night at the BC Legislature?

From everything I’ve seen and read this morning, it sounds like Scott Fraser (NDP Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation), made a huge mistake by inviting in a bunch of misguided, uneducated, and ill-informed individuals to talk(?) about a situation which is ...



.... over one thousand, one hundred, kilometres away -- near the community of Houston ...



I doubt if many (if any) of those individuals -- who created havoc in the legislature -- have even been to the area, or even have any family members living there.



Last night, they showed their true colours as hooligans, as these first hand accounts show; they are only a few of many!



Ellis Ross ~~ MLA for the riding of Skeena

Last night at the Legislature was wild. MLAs and ministers can bring guests into the legislature, but to bring in protesters, and put legislature security people and legislature staff, in a bad situation is unacceptable. The people’s legislature is closed to the people but protesters are allowed in?



Mike Bernier ~~ MLA for the riding of Peace River South

Well that was the craziest night I have had at the Legislature. Wow!!!  All I can say is what is wrong with people?  You have no idea what you are talking about or protesting, and have zero regard for society and the rule of law. I am embarrassed for BC and Canada as this is not who we are I thought. Horgan and Trudeau need to man up and do something about this!!  Sorry Valerie you got stuck in that mess!!



These self-styled, modern day, Chev Guevara guerilla revolutionaries live in relative comfort (when not protesting on the steps of, or storming in, the legislature) ... rather than on reserve where life can be hard, work is scarce, and those amenities often times are not found.



Laurie Throness ~~ MLA for the riding of Chilliwack - Kent

Tonight, the NDP Minister for Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation let protesters into the building to talk and they wouldn't leave. Police came to the building to arrest some people, but they can't get them out because hundreds of people are blocking the doors. Our Legislature is in complete lockdown and we may not be able to have Parliament tomorrow.



Note the Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffees, the plastic rope, gasoline jerry cans,
plastic
totes, comfortable metal frame chairs, 2 by 4's and plywood
perhaps cut from old-growth forests, and of course the large plastic tarp
Todd Stone ~~ MLA for the riding of Kamloops South Thompson

Last night, against the advice of security professionals, NDP Minister Scott Fraser brought radical agitators INTO the Legislature, who then refused to leave. What foolish and reckless judgement by Fraser.



Illegal protests, blockades, propane tanks and open fires on the steps of B.C.’s Legislature for weeks now - it all needs to end, but it probably won’t anytime soon because while Premier John Horgan talks tough, his government continues to play footsie with radical agitators.



This comment, from MLA Todd Stone, pretty much sums things up .... “It’s complete amateur hour in NDP land folks”



WHEN, pray tell, is the provincial government of Premier John Horgan going to state – UNEQUIVOCALLY – that enough is enough?



Contempt for the law only breeds more contempt, and these hooligans will simply continue to flaunt and openly challenge authority – for them it’s a game they are playing, under the guise of standing in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en.



WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!



Oh ... and one final thing ...



These self-styled, modern day, Chev Guevara guerilla revolutionaries live in relative comfort (when not protesting on the steps of, or storming in, the legislature) enjoying all of the amenities of the cities and communities they have chosen to live in – including housing, jobs and education (if they want them), and of course their favorite caffeine beverage drink in a wax lined paper cup with plastic lid --- rather than on reserve where life can be hard, work is scarce, and those amenities often times are not found.


They are clueless about reality, and their obstructionist ways must end.

“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
