“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.

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...
