“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

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:
 

TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following.

 Specifically, the pact states:

This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia

OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts. OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and finalized immediately following the Conservative leadership election.

The Memorandum represents a personal commitment between Yuri Fulmer and Dallas Brodie to unite the right. Both leaders commit to publicly advocating for this framework. Upon Yuri Fulmer’s successful election as Leader of the Conservative Party of BC, he will immediately utilize his mandate to formally ratify this pact as the official electoral strategy of the Party.



THIS AGREEMENT is in direct contravention of several areas of the Constitution and Bylaws (2025), as noted:

Section 2.08
Any member who joins, or publicly supports another provincial party, or publicly campaigns against an officially nominated Conservative Party of BC candidate for the Members of the Legislative Assembly, will immediately forfeit membership

2.13
Each Member of the Party, including candidates for, and holders of Party and/or public office, is hereby deemed to have covenanted that: “I will abide, accept and abide by the Constitution, Principles, Policies, Bylaws, and Code of Conduct of the Conservative Party of BC.” Any breach of this covenant is a violation of the Party Constitution and Bylaws

4.03 The President shall:
(d) Coordinate the conduct of election campaigns with the Election Readiness Committee

6.03 The Election Readiness Committee:
(b) will set the dates, location, notice requirements, voting methods and other procedures for Candidate selection meetings …

ARTICLE 2 – ETHICAL PRINCIPLES:

2.01 The Party and its Members subscribe to the following general ethical principles and agree to abide by them in their individual and collective actions with one another and the citizens in general when acting on behalf of the Party or otherwise acting in any manner associated with the Party.

Namely:
(a) Act at all times honestly, in good faith, and in a manner which will enhance the image of and be in the best interests of the Party or otherwise when acting in any manner associated with the Party

(d) All Members must work towards mutually beneficial partnerships and work collaboratively with one another with the object of building the Party and providing good governance to all citizens of the Province


ARTICLE 3 – OVERALL BEHAVIORS, GOOD CONDUCT AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERS

3.01 It is acknowledged that the Party is a “political’ entity involved in the legal and democratic process of seeking to serve the people of British Columbia in the fields of public government and administration. Also, it is recognized that such a democratic process often involves intense competition between individuals, concepts, ideals, principles, and many other issues. Therefore, it is understood by the Conservative Party of BC that every Member should do all possible to protect and enhance the reputation of the Party in the public domain and to build unity in the Party

(b) refrain from making or posting any statements on “public domains” entities (such as social media, or other internal sites) that openly and publicly  criticize or denigrate and/or demean the Party, the Party leadership, individual Party Members, the Party Principles, policies, entities, structures and/or  associated bodies of the Party or discuss in a public, personal, vindictive and/or derogatory manner the merits and/or demerits of decisions relating to internal Party business and administration 

 

Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediately suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
