“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

‘We have never been in support of the Carbon Tax, which was initially imposed on us by the BC Liberals’ -- Conservative BC leader Trevor Bolin


The following is from BC's Conservatives ...


At the start of this provincial election campaign, one of the questions being asked by British Columbians is ... “Why vote Conservative?”

 

It’s important to know that the platform of Conservatives in British Columbia is very unique from other parties that use blue, or call themselves conservative.

Speaking from Ft. St. John where he makes his home, Conservative leader Trevor Bolin made his party’s position clear with regards to the carbon tax, which was initially imposed on the province by the BC Liberals, and which has continued under the watch of Premier Horgan’s NDP government.

 

“We are not and have never been in support of the Carbon Tax, and question how much of what BC residents are forced to pay has actually been used for the purposes government stated it would be. Furthermore, science shows the carbon tax has done nothing to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG’s) in British Columbia, and we deserve better”.

 

On issues with major impact on British Columbians, the imposition of the carbon tax being a prime example, Conservatives believe in small government affecting change through consultation.

 

“We believe in representation beyond the party line. When you elect an MLA in your area, your concerns need to not only be heard, but dealt with provincially in a timely manner”, remarked Bolin, who will also be the party candidate for the riding of Peace River North.

 

“We believe British Columbians should be able to call upon their Government and get an answer”.

 

“We are Conservatives ... and we invite British Columbians from across the province, to be part of the change to a better, and more open, government”, Bolin concluded.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift.
