“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.

There must be someone willing to get a helicopter full of strong female Wet'suwet'en Elders -- that'll put a verbal whipping and knowledge session on these young people -- and set them straight

Tonight upon landing in Victoria, and going for an evening stroll downtown, I got to see up close all these protestors ... along with all their garbage, dirty clothes and dishes, tents, fires and all these displays they have set up all over the front steps, lights and entrance of the BC Legislature.

I decided to walk up to take a closer look, and was warned by the two guards not to engage with anyone. I was shocked to learn this has been going on for eight days.

Before I could get close to the front steps, a young lady in her early 20s purposely walks in front of me... 

Her: Are you here in solidarity with us and the Wet'suwet'en? 

Me: Which portion of the Wet'suwet'en are you talking about exactly? 

Her: If you want to be educated on the issues, you should come back tomorrow during the resistance rallies. 

Me: I think I understand the issues. I was just wondering which Wet'suwet'en people or individuals you were speaking about specifically? 

Her: If you're not standing with us and part of the resistance, you need to leave. Only warriors willing to rise are welcome here. 

[Two guys with their lower faces covered in bandanas then gather around her] 

Me: The resistance? Are we in a Star Wars movie right now? 

Come on you guys, anyone here pretending to know the collective opinion of the Wet'suwet'en Nation is being rather naive at this point. 

Give their people some time to deal with their own laws and issues. You are not helping anything. 

Bandana Warrior: Maybe you should educate yourself about the Royal Proclamation and indigenous issues.




Other Bandana Warrior: You need to leave now. I suggest you read some books and educate yourself. You clearly know nothing. 

Me: Yeah okay. Ya'll have a good evening.




What's happening at the Legislature, right now, is absolutely disgraceful and embarrassing to this Province and its citizens, including indigenous peoples, on so many levels.

There must be someone out there willing to get a helicopter full of strong female Wet'suwet'en Elders -- that'll put a verbal whipping and knowledge session on these young people -- and set them straight.



This is getting so ridiculous that it doesn't even feel real anymore.

“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
