“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.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
