“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.”

BC’s Forestry Decline Is a Policy Failure, Not a Market Reality -- Forestry Critic Calls for Accountability and Urgent Policy Reset

Conservative Party of BC Forestry Critic, and Kamloops - North Thompson MLA,  Ward Stamer As the Truck Loggers Association convention begins today, BC Conservative Forestry Critic Ward Stamer says British Columbia’s forestry crisis is the result of government mismanagement, not market forces, and that an urgent policy reset is needed to restore certainty, sustainability, and accountability. “For generations, forestry supported families and communities across BC,” said Stamer.  “Today, mills are closing, contractors are parking equipment, and families are being forced to leave home, not because the resource is gone, but because policy has failed.” Government data shows timber shipment values dropped by more than half a billion dollars in the past year, with harvest levels falling by roughly 50 per cent in just four years. At the same time, prolonged permitting timelines, unreliable fibre access, outdated forest inventories, and rising costs have made long-term planning impossib...

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...
