“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.

RACHAEL WEBER: This is my home–I’ve lived in Mackenzie for over 20 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this


The Conservative Party of BC calls on the province to supply Mackenzie following yet another extension of shortages to ongoing physician and nursing staff. Conservative candidate for Prince George-Mackenzie Rachael Weber said the following:

“This is my home–I’ve lived in Mackenzie for over 20 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this. This NDP government does not care about rural communities and our needs. The shortage of hospital staff is not sustainable, and it puts lives at risk,” said Weber.

“We need to get serious about this problem. I am calling on this NDP government to immediately take action by supplementing our shortages with nurses and doctors.

Conservatives Call For Action Following Hospital Closure In Mackenzie


They can do this tomorrow by hiring back our healthcare workers, just like every other jurisdiction already did in this world. Or they can incentivize healthcare workers to move to Mackenzie and other rural areas. We need to make it easier to come and live here–not harder,” Weber concluded.

“What’s happening in Mackenzie is happening in many other rural communities in our province–It’s wrong, and it’s putting lives at risk,” said Conservative Leader John Rustad. “As the only Party Leader who is a Northerner, I am all too familiar with how unfairly we are treated. If we form a majority government on October 19th, we will be reforming healthcare and committing to improving services for rural communities.”

The Conservative Party of BC will soon release its full platform on Healthcare Reform.

GIESBRECHT: Thank you everyone; and to Ward and Peter ... I'll see you in Victoria

I want to thank everyone who has shown me support in preparation for this Fall's critical provincial election. As a candidate, my only goal has always been to remove the dangerous Eby NDP from Victoria, and in doing so, improve the quality of life for the people of BC. This has not changed, and I am excited to now have the opportunity to deepen my ties in the riding of Vernon - Lumby as their representative for the Conservative Party of BC. I wish nothing but a Blue Wave to wash over Kamloops - Centre and Kamloops - North Thompson. I know know the team will excel going into October. Thank you everyone; and to Ward and Peter ... I'll see you in Victoria. For information on the campaign for Vernon - Lumby, and Dennis Giesbrecht, CLICK HERE From the Armchair Mayor: Giesbrecht moves into vacant Vernon spot for Conservatives

Nine major sawmills have closed in the past 18 months, and contractors and businesses are fleeing the province,” said Rustad. “Forestry isn’t just an industry—it’s the backbone of our province, supporting communities, families, and our economy. The NDP’s hostility towards this vital sector shows conte
