“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

David Eby and the BC NDP have resorted to outright lies in a desperate attempt to mislead British Columbians. Their false claims that the Conservatives support toll roads are nothing more than a cowardly attempt to divert attention from their own failures and broken promises”


John Rustad, Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, launched a scathing attack on David Eby and the BC NDP for their blatant dishonesty and fear-mongering tactics. Rustad denounced the NDP’s shameless lies about the Conservative Party’s stance on toll roads, emphatically stating that the Conservatives have never and will never support toll roads.

“David Eby and the BC NDP have resorted to outright lies in a desperate attempt to mislead British Columbians. Their false claims that the Conservatives support toll roads are nothing more than a cowardly attempt to divert attention from their own failures and broken promises,” Rustad declared.

“Let me be crystal clear: the Conservative Party of British Columbia stands firmly against toll roads. We will never implement such a regressive and punitive measure that burdens hardworking families and businesses.”

Rustad continued, “The people of British Columbia are sick and tired of the NDP’s deceitful politics. While the NDP continues to line their pockets and cater to special interests, British Columbians are struggling with skyrocketing costs of living, unaffordable housing, and crumbling infrastructure. Instead of addressing these real issues, David Eby and his cronies choose to fabricate lies about our policies.”

Rustad then exposed the NDP’s hidden agenda, “What’s worse, the BC NDP is not only lying about our position on toll roads but is secretly considering a plan to implement a road tax. This road tax will hit every driver in our province, further squeezing the already overstretched budgets of British Columbian families. This is a betrayal of trust, and it shows just how out of touch the NDP is with the realities facing our people.”


In a promise to the people of British Columbia, Rustad stated, “Under my leadership, the Conservative Party will prioritize the needs of everyday British Columbians. We will invest in infrastructure without resorting to tolls or road taxes. We will fight for lower taxes, better healthcare, and a more prosperous future for all. Unlike the BC NDP, we won’t make empty promises. We will deliver results.”

Rustad concluded with a rallying call to British Columbians, “Join us in rejecting the NDP’s lies and deceit. Stand with the Conservative Party of British Columbia as we fight for truth, integrity, and a government that truly serves the people. Together, we will build a better, toll-free and tax-free future for our province.”

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
