David Eby stood at the podium last week and called a man flagged for terror ties a refugee then declared he would be gold in BC. Reckless and dangerous. The Americans rejected him over serious security concerns and David Eby is now defending him. This is exactly why the Bishnoi gang runs our streets with total impunity while extortion and violence go unchecked. The NDP puts virtue signaling ahead of protecting British Columbians every single time.

Non-residents have left British Columbian taxpayers with $200.6 million in unpaid health care bills over the past five years. That equals the cost of more than 21,000 hip replacements, and we have the worst record in Canada. While families wait months or years for care, our health care system continues to fail under the NDP. It is time for change. British Columbia deserves a health care system that works for the families who call this province home.

Over 180 programs cut. More than 1,300 jobs lost. Over 45 student services closed. B.C.'s post-secondary institutions are sounding the alarm while the NDP continues to withhold key reviews. Accountability can't wait. #bcpoli #CriticForEducation

After decades as a magnet for hard-working Canadians, British Columbia is now losing people under David Eby’s NDP. Families are voting with U-Haul trucks, fleeing record debt, tax hikes on working people, and uncertainty over property rights. This is not a national trend. It is the result of failed NDP policies. As a former Cabinet Minister who helped deliver balance and surplus federally, I know we can do better. We must protect property rights, lower taxes on gas and groceries, reduce bloated government, and unleash our forestry, mining, agriculture, and fisheries. Families are at the heart of our province. When parents and young professionals see no future here, we are failing those we serve. My vision is one of hope: safer communities, stronger families, good jobs, and a strong Western alliance with Alberta and Saskatchewan to build real prosperity. It is time to reverse course. Join me in defeating the NDP, and restoring the British Columbia our children and grandchildren will choose to call home. Together, we will deliver the results British Columbians need and deserve.

The issue facing British Columbia in healthcare is not only the aging demographic of its population but also that 31% of doctors are over 60 and of those, 16% are 65 and older. Considering that about 1/3 of our doctors are trained in other countries, the increase of medical school training seats touted by this Minister of Health is a fraction of what is needed. There is a world wide shortage of doctors and nurses. We need to be bold and stop rationing access to care by training too few healthcare providers. Planning for healthcare needs to be patient centered so that everyone in BC can get timely access and choice in their care. Vancouver Sun vancouversun.com/news/bc-qua… via @VancouverSun

$100 million plus per game. For matches like New Zealand versus Egypt? The NDP just signed BC taxpayers up for a $729 million bill on seven Vancouver World Cup games. And some of them are low draw affairs that will not fill the building. FIFA is raking in cash while we foot the bill for their spectacle. This NDP government has completely lost the plot on what matters to real British Columbians.

The NDP’s Finance Minister Brenda Bailey was ranked dead last in Canada among provincial finance ministers by the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation. This ranking is no surprise. When a government spends beyond its means year after year, dead last is where you end up

Thank you, Prime Minister Harper. I am deeply honoured by your kind words and grateful for your continued support. With your encouragement and the trust of BC Conservative members, I am ready to lead a united team that will defeat the NDP and restore prosperity to British Columbia.

1 Big Congrats to @KerryLynne. I know how hard she fought for lower taxes, more free enterprise, and individual liberty at the federal level. Now she’s fighting hard to deliver BC from years of terrible NDP policies. All the best to her as she prepares for the next election!
Congratulations to @KerryLynneFindl, the next Premier of BC. She won as a principled Conservative fighting for property rights, low taxes, small government, free enterprise, and getting tough on crime. I want to thank all the candidates who put their names forward in this race. Let’s now work together to make Canada affordable, safe, and united here at home.

As your newly elected Leader of the BC Conservative Party, I bring senior-level experience that will serve every family in our province. I served as a Cabinet Minister in Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government, where I helped deliver lower taxes, cut red tape, and return the country to a surplus after the worst recession in decades. That experience taught me how to manage government responsibly and put people first. I was appointed Chief Opposition Whip by Pierre Poilievre, the first woman to hold the position. In that role I was responsible for uniting and leading a large national caucus with discipline and focus. I am also a King’s Counsel, an honour that reflects decades of legal expertise and a deep commitment to the rule of law and property rights. As a senior lawyer I have spent decades defending the rule of law and property rights. In the late 1990s, as a young widow with small children, I bought a leasehold property on Musqueam land in South Vancouver. When the Musqueam First Nation sued the homeowners, I helped lead our legal team through a long and costly battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. We won that case in 2000 and protected the property rights and equity of those families. That experience taught me firsthand how critical it is to defend fee-simple ownership and certainty for every British Columbian. These roles have prepared me to lead with seriousness, competence, and results. While the NDP under David Eby has delivered economic vandalism, growing debt, failing services, and chaos, I am ready to restore competent, principled government that works for British Columbians. Together we will unite our party and build a stronger, more prosperous British Columbia.

The NDP is underestimating me. They think they can dismiss experience, dismiss credentials, and dismiss someone who has actually delivered results in government. They are wrong. I served as a Cabinet Minister under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, where I helped cut taxes and return the country to surplus. I was Chief Opposition Whip under Pierre Poilievre, the first woman to hold the role, uniting and leading a large national caucus. As a King’s Counsel, I fought and won at the Supreme Court of Canada to protect property rights for families. These experiences have prepared me to lead with competence and resolve. British Columbians do not need more NDP failures, higher taxes, and rising crime. They need lower taxes, safer communities, protected property rights, and a government that works for them. I am ready. The NDP should not underestimate what is coming.

Vaughn Palmer nails it. The real blame for the forest sector crisis in BC lies with the NDP government, not Donald Trump. The NDP’s regulatory mess, reduced fibre access, and DRIPA-driven uncertainty have driven up costs, scared off investment, and triggered mill closures across the province. While Ravi Parmar is busy trolling and defaming BC Conservatives, he has failed his own ministry. Instead of fixing their own disastrous policies, the NDP points fingers south while their co-governance schemes and endless policy flip-flops keep choking the sector. British Columbians in forestry-dependent communities are paying the price for NDP incompetence. Jobs are gone, confidence is shattered, and the NDP’s response is more excuses and more control handed to unelected groups.

British Columbians deserve leaders who have fought for their rights and won. I took my law degree to the Supreme Court of Canada and prevailed in a landmark property rights case. I have served in leadership roles in the legal community and earned the designation of King’s Counsel. David Eby as premier and former attorney general, his government refused to defend fee simple property rights in court, creating uncertainty for homeowners across our province. I have proven I will stand up for your rights. As your premier, I will restore certainty, cut red tape, and deliver the prosperity British Columbians deserve. Join me.

It's one thing to paint Poilievre as a Trumpian extremist (his demeanor, style etc) I do not think the BC NDP will successful brand a 72 years old woman who is always calm and was a lawyer and federal minister the same way. Those attacks will fail
BC Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay responds to NDP attacks in a CBC interview this morning. "We are not the extremists. They are the extremists. They're ideological extremists and they have had very radical policies that have hurt British Columbians."

Thank you, Macklin -@mack4change Your message means a great deal to me. I am grateful for your support and your clear commitment to moving forward together as one team. British Columbia needs a Conservative Party that is united in purpose and strong in conviction. I am committed to bringing our entire party together, every candidate, every supporter, and every MLA, so we can present a clear, confident alternative to the NDP.
Our first @BCConservCaucus photo with our new leader, @KerryLynneFindl The leadership race is behind us. The work begins now. I'm proud to stand with this team as we focus on holding government accountable, earning the trust of British Columbians, and preparing to form government. Let's get to work.

Taxpayers are once again footing the bill after the government admitted to an “inadvertent” error in the Greater Victoria School Board case. In Question Period, I pressed the Minister of Education for answers and accountability on how this happened, why proper disclosure was not made, and what this means for public confidence moving forward. British Columbians deserve transparency, accountability, and competent governance, especially when significant public funds are involved.
