“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.

FELDSTED -- This government has replaced safety and security with anxiety, fear and uncertainty

To build back better, we must reinvent capitalism ...

The pandemic has brought into focus many of the vulnerabilities in our systems and institutions.  But it also offers us a chance to shape a more resilient and sustainable world.

Here's how businesses and policy-makers can start building the green and inclusive future we need .....

We are to believe that by destroying capitalism that we can rebuild a more robust capitalism? Let's have these chaps share a little of whatever they are imbibing.

First, they convince our governments that the only way to combat a virus epidemic is to quarantine the entire population for an extended period. Most of the nation shut down with devastating effects on our economy, personal health and well-being.

Efforts to provide income replacement for people forced out of their livelihoods have been deliberately overly complicated, piecemeal and unfocused. Financial officers have spent hundreds of hours calculating and recalculating eligibility for wage subsidy programs with shifting regulations.

Never in history have democratic nations treated their populations as if they had neither rights nor freedoms. Stop and consider this for a moment. The World Health Organization's (WHO) approach to the COVID virus epidemic is a rejection of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Using the failed COVID epidemic response as an excuse for having incompetent idealists thrust a new economic order on us is disgusting. The notion that the World Economic Forum can concoct an economic model that will fit vastly different nations is ludicrous.

It is no accident that Justin Trudeau’s partner in crime, Gerald Butts, is heavily involved in this effort to subject us to the arbitrary rule of kings in place of democracy. We have to firmly and impolitely send Trudeau and his extended royal court off to the showers and allow others to make an honest attempt to bring order out of the chaos they have created.

The rule for the next election, which cannot come soon enough, is Do Not Re-elect (DNR).

There are a precious few Members of Parliament who have worked hard to rein in a corrupt, arrogant and failed government focused on image without substance. They have no coherent plan for bringing us the peace, order and good government demanded by our constitution.

This government has replaced safety and security with anxiety, fear and uncertainty.

If we refuse to re-elect incumbents, we stand a chance of rebuilding what they have taken from us – dignity, equality, freedoms, rights and security.

“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
