“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.

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...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
