“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.”

FORSETH: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
