“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

LESLYN LEWIS – The Experience Needed To Win

Canadians are tired of politics as usual. Members of the Conservative Party of Canada are no exception.

Recently the Erin O’Toole Campaign has sent out messages under the names of other people to call my experience into question.

I plan to do politics differently. My focus is not on trying to point out the shortcomings of others. Instead, my campaign focuses on what I am offering members in terms of policy, and uniting the Party.

Conservatives only win when we are united, and I will always do my best to walk the talk when it comes to Party unity.

But when one of the other candidates publicly raises concerns about me that I disagree with, I believe it’s fair to respond. Here’s why I believe I have the experience needed to win the next election:

  • Economic recovery is going to be at the centre of any government agenda as we work to rebuild post-COVID. As someone who has run her own business for almost 20 years, I understand the needs of business owners who will be key to the recovery.
  • I have international business experience. I want to use these skills to help open up new markets for Canadian businesses around the world. In particular, I want to get Canadian oil and gas on the market.
  • I have life experience growing up in a family that chose to make Canada our home. I can relate to the challenges new Canadians face, and help welcome them into our voter coalition.
  • As a political outsider, I’m also uniquely placed to oversee a full review of CPC HQ operations, which is important to many of our members.


Politics in Canada are changing. We can see that with the overwhelming momentum that we are experiencing on my campaign.

With more than 13,000 people donating over $1.5 million dollars so far, you can see that there is grassroots excitement for a message of courage, compassion and common sense.

I hope you’ll be a part of the movement!

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...
