“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

OneBC Calls for an Immediate Suspension of Immigration into Canada


OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie today called for an immediate suspension of immigration into  Canada, citing the strain of mass migration on British Columbia’s housing, healthcare, and job markets. 

“British Columbia has been overwhelmed by mass migration,” said Dallas Brodie.

“The con sequences are everywhere: wages are falling, housing is out of reach, healthcare is col lapsing, and our culture is being eroded. OneBC will fight for British Columbia’s workers and  young people — not for corporate elites or foreign interests.” 

Between 2021 and 2023, Canada admitted over 1.2 million newcomers, with millions more  expected under current federal policies. This surge has overwhelmed public services. 

“Emergency rooms are packed, wait times stretch past 14 hours, and nearly one million  British Columbians don’t even have a family doctor,” said Tara Armstrong, OneBC House  Leader. 

OneBC outlined a clear three-point plan: 

  1. Suspend Immigration — Halt all new immigration streams, including temporary  foreign workers, foreign student visas, and asylum claims, with narrow exceptions for  critical shortages like healthcare.
     
  2.  End Renewals — Stop renewals of existing temporary work and study permits.  

  3.  Uphold the Law — Deport individuals who are not lawfully in Canada. 

“The solution is simple: Put British Columbians first,” added Brodie.

“We will restore safe streets and schools, reliable healthcare, rising incomes, and homes you can actually  afford. This can be the beginning of a Canadian renaissance.”

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

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...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
