“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

“This schedule doesn’t reflect the work ethic British Columbians deserve, and it won’t be my schedule.” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops North Thompson MLA, and Opposition Forestry Critic


“One thing is abundantly clear – the NDP government of David Eby simply does not want to be transparent, or accountable, to the people of BC”, stated Kamloops – North Thompson Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, after receiving the 2025 legislative calendar.

“Sixty-seven days, that’s how long the BC Legislature will be in session this year, and remember, the legislature hasn’t been in session since last May”, Stamer continued.

For months now BC’s Conservatives have been bringing up concerns about one crisis after the other, including healthcare, housing, and affordability.

“The forest industry that so many people depend on, in communities through-out my riding and in my other areas of rural BC, is on the verge of collapse. Meantime, the NDP continue their extended vacation.”

Stamer observed that Premier Eby’s government appears to believe they can change policies and regulations without the legislation and laws needed to make change possible. One example is the new wind power generation sites.

“The NDP are going through the backdoor approving this with no environmental assessment, and without consultation with all stakeholders other than First Nations.”

“What about accountability? What are the actual costs to the taxpayers of BC for these thirty-year contracts?”, Stamer continued.

“This is exactly why we need an open and transparent government in our province, not one that tries to circumvent the rules.”

Eby, and his NDP MLA’s, should be embarrassed with the legislative schedule that’s been presented, as it does not reflect the work ethic British Columbians deserve from their representatives.

“I can’t imagine explaining to my friends and family that this is my work schedule; it certainly won’t be mine. I’ll continue working hard every day, as I have been, to hold David Eby’s radical NDP accountable for the mess they’re creating.”

“British Columbians deserve better!”, concluded Stamer.

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

Todd Stone says, “One and Done” -- No need to fill in Question 2”. Respectfully, he and his fellow BC Liberal MLAs are wrong

From Todd Stone, to Tracy Redies, to John Yapp, to Jane Thornthwaite, to Doug Clovechok, to Mike Bernier, to Lorne Letnick … the list of BC Liberal MLA’s all singing from the same song book goes on and on as their united voices all say, “Vote One and Done".   Let me say this … they, along with supporters of the BC Liberal Party are WRONG!   Even IF you do support retaining our current system of  and have no wish to change to some form of Proportional Representation, it IS vitally important for you to vote on Question #2!   Despite the Liberals trying to persuade us differently, there is indeed plenty of information on the vote , and it is from an independent source – Elections BC.   There you’ll find pretty much everything you need to make an informed choice about the different voting systems, and the different rules for each … including how voters cast their ballot, how votes are counted, and how votes translate into seats in the l...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
