“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

Peter Milobar launches leadership bid, says Conservatives are ready to govern British Columbia

Outside the British Columbia Legislature today, MLA Peter Milobar launched his campaign to become Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, delivering a clear message: British Columbians are ready for change. Under Peter Milobar, BC Conservatives are ready to lead.

“People are leaving this province because they cannot afford to stay,” he said. 

“A generation has given up on ever buying a home. Communities are dealing with open drug use and repeat violent offenders, while our health care system is on the brink of collapse. That is a failure of leadership in Victoria.”

Milobar’s campaign will focus on restoring affordability, public safety, and health care by reversing BC NDP policies that have driven up costs, unleashed chaos on our streets, and left families without access to proper healthcare.

“As Conservatives, we believe in common sense, a strong and growing economy, and safe communities. We believe law-abiding citizens deserve to feel safe in their neighbourhoods. We believe drugs kill people, and that compassion means treatment, recovery, and accountability. We believe that parents should have a meaningful voice in their children’s education.”, added Milobar.

Milobar is committed to protecting property rights by repealing DRIPA and replacing it with a BC Reconciliation Act that supports Indigenous communities’ ability to care for their communities and sets out a new framework to deliver real reconciliation that includes all British Columbians.

“We are not a protest party. If we want to change British Columbia, we have to win,” said Milobar. 

“I have led at the local level. I have governed as a mayor. I am a sitting MLA, already in the fight every day. This party is ready to win, and I am ready to lead it.”

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

FORSETH -- Before anyone gets excited about one poll showing a candidate with a 25 percent lead, and 44 percent support overall, let’s give it a few more weeks

Is this based in reality -- how accurate are the numbers? In the past couple of weeks a couple of candidates, for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party, have been presenting polling results that they lead the pack – one even going so far as to say they have a lock on 44% of those who will be voting, and a twenty-five percent lead over the individual ranked second. I am going to say that this one, from Kerry-Lynne Findlay, is highly suspect. First of all the company conducting the poll, ERG National Research, is not a Member of Industry Bodies (the Canadian Research Insights Council), meaning they do not adhere to established industry standards for research, such as transparency, privacy, and methodological rigor. AI Overview states that ... based on alerts from the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and reports, ERG National Research should be treated with extreme caution regarding its reliability, and legitimacy, in conducting political polling. Before I even read this in...

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...
