MLA John Rustad: Premier Eby Must Apologize to Law Enforcement for Supporting Hateful Protest

 


September 25th, 2023 — VANCOUVER, BC: 

"I have seen video footage from the counter-protest on September 20th which shows organizers chanting hateful rhetoric against British Columbian law enforcement officers. This is deeply disturbing. 

 

"Premier David Eby's BC NDP government, CUPE, and the British Columbia Teachers Federation who endorsed the hateful counter-protest on September 20th owe an apology to British Columbia's Police, RCMP, and Peace Officers. 

 

"Men and women in law enforcement risk their lives everyday to keep our communities safe. It is deeply upsetting to see this government and union backed public display of hate against our Police and RCMP officers. 

 

"In fact, just this past Saturday, NDP politicians took to social media to publicly mourn RCMP Constable Rick O'Brien — Constable O'Brien made the greatest sacrifice while protecting Coquitlam residents, losing his life to keep British Columbians safe. 

 

"Do BC NDP politicians have no shame? 

 

"It is the peak of hypocrisy to support activists chanting hate speech against law enforcement on Wednesday, then to mourn the tragic death of an RCMP officer three days later on Saturday.  

 

"Yet, this is exactly what many BC NDP politicians have done this past week. 

 

"Our men and women in law enforcement are not "killers" and they do not "hate kids". This language is hateful and wrong — Premier David Eby's BC NDP government should not be supporting activists who spread hate and demonize our men and women in law enforcement. 

 

"British Columbians deserve better, and so do our Police and RCMP officers."

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
