“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

Conservative Candidates Dennis Giesbrecht and Ward Stamer Slam NDP for Kamloops’ Skyrocketing Crime Rate


“Under the NDP’s watch, Kamloops has become the crime capital of Canada. This is a direct result of their neglect and inadequate policies. It’s time for a change in leadership that prioritizes the safety and security of our residents.” ~~ Ward Stamer, Conservative Party of BC candidate for Kamloops - North Thompson


July 26, Kamloops, BC: Conservative Party of British Columbia candidates Dennis Giesbrecht (Kamloops Centre) and Ward Stamer (Kamloops-North Thompson) are addressing the alarming statistics released by Statistics Canada, which reveal that Kamloops had the highest crime rate in the country last year. This pressing issue highlights the urgent need for stronger leadership and more effective crime prevention strategies.


Kamloops Crime Rate: A Call for Immediate Action


The latest report from Statistics Canada indicates that Kamloops has experienced a significant rise in crime, leading the nation in crime rate statistics. This surge in criminal activity has left residents feeling unsafe and underscores the necessity for immediate and decisive action to address public safety concerns.


Dennis Giesbrecht on Crime and Leadership Failures


“This is no surprise to anyone paying attention. The decline has been swift and obvious,” said Dennis Giesbrecht. “The NDP have downloaded so many issues onto local governments. The result was predictable. Unfortunately, since so many crimes go unreported, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Kamloops residents deserve to feel safe in their homes and communities. The current situation is unacceptable, and it’s clear that the policies of the NDP government have failed to keep our community secure. We need a comprehensive approach to tackle crime and restore safety.”



Ward Stamer on the NDP’s Neglect


“Again, another example of the NDP letting the people of Kamloops down. Not being there for us, not addressing our concerns, not providing the resources we all desperately need in our communities,” stated Ward Stamer. “It’s not just a policing issue. It’s an everything issue. Together we can change this. Under the NDP’s watch, Kamloops has become the crime capital of Canada. This is a direct result of their neglect and inadequate policies. It’s time for a change in leadership that prioritizes the safety and security of our residents.”


A Conservative Plan for Crime Reduction


Dennis Giesbrecht and Ward Stamer are committed to implementing a robust plan to reduce crime and enhance public safety in Kamloops. Their approach includes:

 

  1. Increased Support for Law Enforcement: Ensure that police forces have the resources and support they need to effectively combat crime and protect the community.
  2.  Tougher Sentences for Repeat Offenders: Advocate for stricter penalties for repeat offenders to deter criminal activity and keep dangerous individuals off the streets.
  3.  Mental Health and Addiction Services: Expand access to mental health and addiction services to address the root causes of crime and support rehabilitation efforts.

Restoring Confidence and Safety


The Conservative Party of British Columbia is dedicated to restoring confidence and safety in Kamloops. By addressing the root causes of crime and supporting law enforcement, Dennis Giesbrecht and Ward Stamer aim to make Kamloops a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.


“Kamloops has immense potential, but we need a secure environment to thrive,” Giesbrecht emphasized. “With the right leadership and policies, we can turn the tide on crime and create a community where everyone feels safe.”



A Call for Change


Ward Stamer added, “The people of Kamloops deserve better. They deserve a government that listens to their concerns and takes decisive action to protect them. The Conservative Party of British Columbia is committed to delivering that change.”

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
