“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

We must take immediate and aggressive action to ensure our streets are safe for everyone. Our community deserves better" ~~ Melissa De Genova


The Conservative Party of British Columbia expresses deep concern and condemnation following the recent violent incidents on Granville Street, where three individuals were stabbed by a stranger. This alarming event underscores the urgent need for decisive public safety measures to address crime in our communities.

Melissa De Genova, the Conservative Party candidate for Vancouver-Yaletown, issued the following statement:

"The safety and security of our residents are of paramount importance. The recent stabbings on Granville Street are an unacceptable affront to the safety of our community. We must take immediate and aggressive action to ensure our streets are safe for everyone. Our community deserves better, and we will not tolerate such senseless acts of violence."

John Rustad, Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, also commented on the incident:

"his violent attack is a stark reminder that we need to get tough on crime. It is clear that our current approach to public safety is failing. We need to empower our law enforcement with the resources they need and implement stringent measures to deter criminals. Our party is committed to making our streets safer and ensuring that those who commit such heinous acts face the full force of the law."

The Conservative Party of British Columbia expresses gratitude that all those stabbed are alive and recovering.

We call on the provincial government to take immediate action to enhance public safety and provide the necessary support to law enforcement agencies. By implementing robust safety measures and taking a firm stand against crime, we can create a safer environment for all British Columbians.

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
