“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

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.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following.

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

MIKE RIGGS -- The candidates who win are the ones who can hold both sides without losing control of the message

If you step back and look at the BC Conservative leadership race, which begin 81 days ago on January 16th, the real difference is not experience, it is approach. Caroline Elliott understands where voters are right now. People are tired of being managed, talked down to, and boxed into rigid policy frameworks. They want someone who reflects their concerns but can still operate in the real world. That is where she separates from someone like Kerry-Lynne Findlay. Findlay represents a more traditional style of politics. She brings experience, but also a more controlled and cautious approach that can feel rigid at a time when voters want responsiveness and adaptability. Elliott is positioning herself differently. She leans more socially conservative in tone, which connects with a base that feels ignored, but she is also showing a willingness to be pragmatic. That balance is what actually wins elections. If you are too rigid, you stall out. If you are too soft, you lose your base. The candida...
