FORSETH -- If having three un-happy MLA’s leave the party, is what it takes to have unity within caucus, then I say, “Fine; let it be so”

Regrettably, in recent days, issues within the Conservative Party of BC have come to the surface resulting in one member being removed from Caucus (Dallas Brodie) and the party, and two others (Tara Armstrong and Jordan Kealy) leaving of their own accord. As of this morning (Saturday March 8th) all three are now sitting as independents in the BC legislature. So, what does that mean? In the last twenty-four hours social media feeds have lit up with support for leader John Rustad, while others have been negative, accusing the party, and Rustad, of being bullies and not standing up for conservative values. Ryan Painter, who has personally worked with John Rustad, had this to say: Since the beginning, he's had one target: the BC NDP. He knows that British Columbians deserve a government that works for them, delivers on their promises, and doesn't tax them into poverty. He believes in his team and the power of a focused opposition. He knows who the enemy is. He knows BC deserves ...

Conservative Opposition demonstrates focused and policy-oriented approach in first four weeks of the legislative session

In the first four weeks of the legislative session, the Conservative Official Opposition has scored significant policy wins as it proves every day that the Conservative team has fresh ideas and real-world experience to bring to the table. At the same time, the NDP government has been listless, struggling to find a policy agenda that addresses the problems that British Columbians are facing. “This NDP government led by David Eby has tried to do everything under the sun to distract from their disastrous fiscal record and the fact that they are utterly out of ideas,” said Conservative Opposition Leader John Rustad. “They’ve tried to use the U.S. President to deflect from their eye-popping $11 billion deficit, the worst business confidence in the country, and the fact that they’ve created almost zero private sector jobs. This is no way to run a province or an economy.” Since the legislative session started on February 18th with the Throne Speech, the opposition...

U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s a negotiator so let’s negotiate, says BC forestry critic Ward Stamer

Today’s latest news from the US Commerce Department, of a new preliminary 20% anti-dumping duty on Canadian softwood lumber exports, is not sitting well with Kamloops North Thompson MLA, and Conservative BC Forestry critic, Ward Stamer. Speaking from Victoria Stamer commented, “Since 2017 the American’s have hit us with ten billion dollars in duties.” “Last week our party leader, John Rustad, proposed putting a carbon tax on American thermal coal. If their tariff is now 20.07% on our lumber, then let’s put 20.07% on their thermal coal.” “And let’s do it TODAY - that will certainly get their attention.” Stamer continued, “We need to get back to the table and negotiate a new free trade softwood agreement with the United States.” In recent weeks the Kamloops North Thompson MLA has been clear about the precarious situation British Columbia’s forest industry is in, with mill shut downs, and the loss of thousands of jobs. “We are going to have more people out of work, and we are going to be ...
