@ExnerPirot David Eby is not a rational person. He is an idealogical zealot. Dave is on a mission. Don’t expect him to think like a rational person.

It’s almost like Eby doesn’t know producers could get gas from the Alberta side if he keeps making BC uncompetitive
English
The Easter egg in this story is the revelation that the BC NDP has introduced the prospect of raising royalties on natural gas… just as two LNG mega projects are nearing a final investment decision.
Eby’s government is an anchor on Canada’s economy.

Canadian taxpayers gave almost $20 million to a climate institute in Korea to create “Nature-based Solutions for Livelihoods in Mangrove Landscapes” in Indonesia.

The end of an era of climate change zealotry and candidly insanity !

Why does the government have to drop their taxes off gas?
Why can the oil companies just drop their prices?
Taxes buy Canadians things but oil company billion dollar profits doesn't do anything for us.

The explanation is simple: Iran War.

This one graph explains why more than 2 million Canadians rely on food banks every month: no wealth, no food. Simple as that.

🚨WTF?? NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces he's hitting the wealthy with MAXIMUM taxes to convince others to stop leaving the city: "I'll ask those who make the most amount of money [to] pay more so everyone can STAY IN THIS CITY!" We warned you.

Sold.
Bridger Pipeline’s proposed project to transport Canadian crude from the U.S.-Canada border to Wyoming would cost about $2 billion and have the capacity to transport more than 1 million barrels of oil per day.

@TomMarazzo I wish you success. You are fighting an organization that has spent the past 150+ years stacking the deck in every conceivable way to stay in power.

If Carney gets a majority, by floor crossing, not an election - we make Ottawa wish it was the Freedom Convoy!
Let’s give them 5 days to decide to call a Federal Election if he gets a majority via MPs who are traitors to their constituents.
Only paper ballots and scrutineers will be accepted.

The culture of Alberta and Idaho is more similar than the culture of Alberta and Ontario. Am I wrong?

British Columbia’s kids are not a social experiment, and yet that’s exactly how they’ve been treated.
For years, government after government has layered ideology, theory, and feel-good language over what used to be a straightforward mission: teach children to read, write, think clearly, and master the fundamentals they need to succeed. What this report confirms is what parents already know, student outcomes are slipping, and no amount of bureaucratic spin can hide it.
We moved away from clear standards and measurable achievement into a system that prioritizes abstraction over mastery. Instead of ensuring a child can confidently read, we ask them how reading makes them feel. Instead of building strong math skills, we dilute the focus with concepts that don’t prepare them for the real demands of higher education or the workforce. And now we’re seeing the results; declining performance, growing frustration, and a generation being let down.
Let me be clear: I am a Conservative by conviction, not convenience. And that means I will not defend a system that isn’t working.
As leader, I will restore accountability in our classrooms. That means bringing back clear, structured learning outcomes. It means focusing on core academic skills: literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking, before anything else. And it means respecting parents as partners, not sidelining them while decisions are made behind closed doors.
We can teach students about history, culture, and the richness of our province without sacrificing academic excellence. These are not competing goals, but when government loses focus, everything suffers.
This is about getting back to basics. It’s about giving our children the tools to succeed in the real world, not just the classroom. And it’s about having the courage to admit when something isn’t working and fixing it.
And we will not leave vulnerable children behind.
Instead of one-size-fits-all programs, we will ensure students who are struggling get real support, through more specifically trained school counsellors who can provide the care, guidance, and attention they deserve. British Columbians deserve an education system that delivers results, and our children deserve nothing leswho can provide the care, guidance, and attention they deserve. British Columbians deserve an education system that delivers results, and our children deserve nothing less

“Water, soil, and oxygen should not be infinitely accessible. They are assets that should be included in global economic balance sheets.”
This is not satire. The World Economic Forum wants to monetise breathing.

Scott, proponents of DRIPA have been consistently downplaying the effects of DRIPA since 2019. Some unwittingly but others deceptively. This misinformation campaign continues to this day.
But DRIPA is straight forward legislation and UNDRIP clearly written. All of today’s chaos was plainly foreseeable in 2019. Check my posts in 2019: I called it out then and am not a specialist in either aboriginal or constitutional law. It was that obvious.
But people believed what they wanted to believe. The B.C. Liberals should never have voted for it in 2019 but some understanding arises from their sensitivity at the time to aboriginal issues. Still bad legislation is bad legislation. And DRIPA is awful legislation. It’s the equivalent of legal malware and it was legislative incompetence to pass it.
Hopefully people are beginning to understand this. Indeed DRIPA is actually much worse than anyone except probably specialized aboriginal lawyers appreciate.
A repeal of DRIPA needs to occur and hopefully a lesson learned….

@ryangerritsen Ryan, it's classic voter suppression. Have opinion makers demoralize conservative voters before an election so they don't see a point in voting. Your post proves its a shrewd political strategy that works.

@ryangerritsen @StaceyMonette27 What if the rumour is an intentional ploy to discourage turnout?

CBC clearly hoping the Terrebonne riding votes Liberal. But really whats the point of even voting in Canada when you know that The Liberals are courting 10 other MP's in hopes they one or several will cross the floor. Democracy is dead in Canada. It has been for a long time.

@bc_perspective I’m all for it after the election of the new leader of the NC Conservative Party. Plus a few months to organize.

This is madness, ‘The Queen of Surrey’ is symbolic of BC NDP’s decimation of BC;
ALL BC’s institutions are in peril under Eby:
Policing
Healthcare
Judiciary
Education
Border/Immigration
Election integrity
ECONOMY
Housing
Tourism
Resources
Forestry
Fishing

While I do not know Jiwani personally, his actions are entirely predictable and, in the broader context, most likely disingenuous.
If he were a genuine grassroots conservative, there is no credible path that leads him to support the collapsing Elliot campaign.
I have been active in politics since 1972. Over that time, I have seen the full spectrum of subversion, misdirection, calculated ambiguity, and pandering to special interests. What we are witnessing here fits a very familiar pattern. Small, tightly aligned groups with a tendency to consolidate power often look for moments like this to entrench themselves. That is exactly what is unfolding within the Conservative Party of British Columbia.
John Rustad set this in motion by striking a subversive arrangement with BC United. What was never clearly disclosed was the underlying objective: to appropriate the Conservative brand, which was gaining traction, and repurpose it as a veneer for a reconstituted BC Liberal network operating under a different name.
The evidence followed quickly. The grassroots constitution and bylaws were altered. Riding associations were sidelined. High-profile grassroots candidates were removed. Each step moved further away from member-driven governance and closer to centralized control. The trajectory points to one conclusion: the re-emergence of the BC Liberal structure under a Conservative label.
When I look at feedback from my 56,000 Substack readers, the signal is unmistakable. There is overwhelming support for a genuine grassroots conservative and virtually no appetite for candidates perceived as establishment-aligned. In a field of six, Elliot consistently ranks at the bottom.
The same pattern holds in our weekly Zoom discussions. Roughly forty engaged participants, politically aware and experienced, and the consensus is clear. They are firmly behind Kerry-Lynne Findlay. The Elliot campaign is not just rejected, it is viewed as offensive to the principles the party claims to represent.
Against that backdrop, Jiwani’s attempt to justify support for Elliot is revealing. It signals to the base that he is not grounded in grassroots conservatism. More importantly, it signals a willingness to compromise those principles in pursuit of position and influence.
That, more than anything else, is what people are responding to.

What is happening inside the BC Conservative movement right now should concern every grassroots member who helped build this party. Azim Jiwani, former Chief of Staff to John Rustad, is now backing Caroline Elliott. This is not just another endorsement, it is a clear signal that the same insider network that helped shift the party away from its base is regrouping. Jiwani’s track record raises serious questions. As Rustad’s Chief of Staff and a backroom enforcer, he played a role in promoting Morgane Oger through Progress Vancouver during the 2022 Vancouver municipal election, a party led by Mark Marissen, the former husband of Christy Clark. He also worked with Centre Ice Conservatives, a group that opposed Pierre Poilievre. Taken together, this reflects an establishment political approach rather than grassroots conservatism. We have seen this pattern before. The BC Liberals spent years drifting toward the centre, diluting their principles in the name of electability, and eventually collapsing under the weight of that approach. Now many of those same influences appear to be circling the BC Conservatives. The endorsements surrounding Elliott reinforce that concern. When figures like Jason Kenney, Gordon Campbell, and now Jiwani all align in the same direction, it raises a fundamental question about whether this is truly a conservative renewal or simply a rebranding of the same political class. The reality is straightforward. When a party moves away from its base, it loses its identity. It begins to avoid difficult issues, soften its positions, and try to appeal to everyone at once. That includes core concerns such as parental rights, education transparency, SOGI policies, and decisions involving minors. Trust is not built by avoiding these topics but by addressing them with clarity and conviction. Grassroots members did not walk away from the old system just to rebuild it under a new name. They were looking for something grounded in principle and accountability. This is the fork in the road. One path leads back to insider-driven politics, while the other is rooted in conviction and a clear reflection of member values. That is why many are now looking to Kerry-Lynne Findlay, who has demonstrated consistency and a willingness to stand firm rather than shift with political pressure. At this point, every member needs to ask a simple question. Are we building something new, or are we being led back to what we tried to replace? The answer is becoming harder to ignore.
