“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

RICK PETERSON: I’d like to thank you and all our Centre Ice Canadians supporters for three significant accomplishments


I’d like to thank you and all our Centre Ice Canadians supporters for three significant accomplishments:

1. “Thank you!” for the strong support of Advisory Council Chair Dominic Cardy’s announcement last week that he’s leading a group that is launching The Canadian Future Party. If you’d like to learn more and get involved, please click here.

2. “Thank you!” for the strong fundraising support over these past few weeks. We have now raised the full $30K required to pay the final amount owing on the national survey that was a key factor in the decision to move ahead with the formation of a new party. 

As you’ll see further below, to fully wind up our efforts we’ll need to raise a final $3,500 for our last remaining legal and accounting fees - if you can help with that please Donate Here.  
 
3. “Thank you!” for your huge support over the past 18 months that has allowed us to host three policy conferences, listen to Canadians from coast-to-coast to coast, highlight key issues and voices that are important in Canada today, and take steps - by creating a policy and governance framework and harnessing the efforts of several hundred volunteers - to launching a new federal party. 

Our work is nearly done. Next Friday, October 6th we will be shutting down the Centre Ice Canadians website and social media platforms. We will be engaging an accounting firm to perform a final audit and financial statements, and once that it is done, we will be formally dissolving Centre Ice Canadians as a corporation.
 
None of the personal data we’ve accumulated will be shared with anyone. The Centre Ice donation portal as well as the monthly Centre Ice recurring donation subscriptions will all be shut down by Friday, October 6th at the latest, or as soon as the final $3,500 has been reached to pay our accounting fees. Again, if you can help with that please Donate Here.
 
Finally, next Wednesday, October 4th, I will give you a complete accounting of our activities, fundraising totals and expenses prior to us shutting down on Friday, October 6th.
    
With your support, we’re making history in Canadian politics. There’s a long road ahead, but what we’ve all done together in the past 18 months is truly remarkable and exceptional.
 
For that, our whole team at Centre Ice Canadians would like to offer our deepest thanks and gratitude.
 
All the best.
 
Rick Peterson
Co-founder & Director

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...
