British Columbians have had enough. Families are struggling with the cost of living, our resources are being held back, communities feel less safe, and too many young people are leaving for better opportunities elsewhere. This is not the British Columbia we deserve. As the newly elected Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, my vision is clear: we will build a stronger, more prosperous province by unleashing our God-given natural resources in forestry, mining, agriculture, and fisheries. We will deliver lower taxes, restore fairness and certainty to property rights, and create good-paying jobs so families can thrive here at home. Central to this is my Western Alliance with Alberta and Saskatchewan. Together, we will champion new processing capacity, upgrade critical infrastructure like the Trans-Canada Highway, double rail and port potential, and speak with one powerful voice in Confederation. British Columbia will no longer be treated as an afterthought. We will stand up for Western strength, fairness, and opportunity. This is a unifying vision for all British Columbians. Whether you have voted Conservative, supported other parties in the past, or are simply tired of the NDP’s failures, there is a place for you in our movement. It is not about the past. It is about where we are going together: safer streets, stronger families, freer citizens, and a prosperous future. Join me in building the British Columbia our children and grandchildren deserve. Together, under the Conservative banner, we will turn this province around. Let’s get to work.

The moral case for Alberta independence begins with accountability. Ottawa is too distant, too centralized and too comfortable with a political culture where insiders, consultants, lobbyists and favoured interests feed off federal spending with little consequence. The worst corruption is not always what is illegal. It is what the system permits, rewards and normalizes. Government should be close enough to the people that citizens can see it, judge it and hold it to account. Alberta should not be ruled from a capital thousands of kilometres away by a permanent political class we cannot meaningfully discipline. Cutting out one vast, unaccountable layer of government is not just practical. It is moral.

I'd estimate that most Canadians think it's about 1997. If you were to ask them to gauge various social indicators and Canada's relative economic position in the world, they would broadly arrive at figures that haven't been true since 1997.

Speaking of the broligarchy’s project to influence Canadian politics… I just noticed something VERY interesting about an Ontario Liberal leadership candidate that’s confusing everyone with that ambition given his right-wing policies and anti-immigrant language:

89% of senior citizens support raising taxes on younger workers to maintain their benefits. The median primary voter is 65.

Game on the line, who do you trust more to get the job done?
