“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

“Premier John Horgan needs to act quickly and decisively to grow jobs and the economy for the benefit of all British Columbians, not just the chosen groups”, says BC’s Conservative leader Trevor Bolin

Today, according to Conservatives in BC ... British Columbians were witness to the devastating unveiling of the provincial governments $12.5 billion dollar deficit, followed by no plan to get us back to work or to get the Provinces financials in the black.

Speaking from Fort St. John, following the economic update from BC Finance Minister Carole James, the provinces Conservative leader, Trevor Bolin, stated:

“COVID-19 has been disastrous on families across this Province, it has shuttered family businesses in cities from the north to the south, and communities that were once flourishing are now floundering with no assistance from the BC NDP government of Premier John Horgan”.

“We as British Columbians deserve more. We do not and can not base our livelihoods on more promises of government funding in the fall. I can not look at my school age children and grow more concerned by the day that this Government is spending us into years beyond their university school days”.

A release from the Conservative Party of British Columbia stated that Conservatives understand the economy, and the importance -- and relevance -- of resource and retail jobs for this province.

According to Bolin, “Premier John Horgan needs to act quickly, and decisively, to grow jobs and the economy for the benefit of all British Columbians -- not just the chosen groups”.

“BC’s unemployment is soaring, towns and regions that once relied on tourism are trying to survive and having to choose what bills they pay, and what bills they don’t”, the Conservative leader continued.

“BC needs a plan, and British Columbian’s deserve a government with a plan to get our residents back to work – a plan that’s Made In BC”, Bolin concluded.

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...
