“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.”

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

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...
