The fall of BC and all the problems we have is not just David Eby BUT the BC NDP and supporters. We need a party that will listen to British Columbians, focus on the economy, public safety, lower taxes, healthcare, education, and private property protection. That can only be the Conservative Party of BC. I only hope that the Conservative Party can prove to all BC voters that they are a big tent party and are there to help all of British Columbia.

This is exactly the kind of divisive nonsense coming from the NDP that is tearing British Columbia apart. Public parks like Joffre Lakes belong to all British Columbians. Not one group to shut down whenever they feel like it. The Líl̓wat Nation can harvest their plants and exercise their rights anytime they want. They do not need the entire park closed for weeks to do it. This so called reconnection shutdown is a completely manufactured problem. The province offering 31 days is still far too much. These full closures punish families, tourists and working people who count on these parks. Overuse and garbage? Fix it properly. Garbage cleanup should be a public initiative done in real partnership with First Nations. Get volunteers, locals and Nation members working side by side to clean the trails and lakes. That is actual stewardship. But have they even asked the public for help? Of course not. This is all about control. Let me be clear. Shutting down Highway 99 is illegal. Blocking a provincial highway is lawlessness, plain and simple. The fact is the NDP are choosing not to enforce the law. They are weak. They are terrified of being called out and they are selling out public access to pander. This is what DRIPA and unlimited accommodation gets you. Two tier access where regular British Columbians pay the taxes but get pushed out of their own backyard. Enough is enough. Public land must be managed for the public interest. For everyone. Reasonable cultural access yes. Blanket shutdowns and veto power no.

The NDP calls us extreme? Let's be clear about who is truly extreme. David Eby and the NDP have pushed a radical ideological agenda that is failing British Columbians. Their soft-on-crime approach has led to out-of-control extortion and violence in our communities. Their failed safe supply experiment has worsened the addiction crisis rather than solving it. And in critical court cases, they refused to properly defend fee simple property rights, abandoning homeowners, farmers, and investors. This is not compassionate governance. It is extreme overreach that puts ideology ahead of people and results. We offer a better path: safer communities, secure property rights, lower taxes, and economic prosperity for every family. I am committed to uniting our party and province to defeat the NDP and restore hope to British Columbia. Join me. Let's build a brighter future together.

Happy Franchise Day! Today, I want to recognize the important role franchise owners play in strengthening our local economy and serving our communities. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit The UPS Store and meet with Dinesh and Tribuvnesh. It was inspiring to hear their story and learn about the many services they provide beyond shipping, including printing, business support, mailbox services, document solutions, and assistance for local entrepreneurs. Franchises like The UPS Store combine the strength of a trusted national brand with the personal touch of local ownership. They create jobs, support other small businesses, and help keep our communities connected. Thank you to Dinesh, Tribuvnesh, and all franchise owners who invest their time, energy, and resources into serving Langley and communities across British Columbia. Your hard work makes a difference every day. #FranchiseDay #LangleyCity #SmallBusiness #CommunityStrong #SupportLocal #TheUPSStore

What an incredible achievement and so exciting! Congratulations, Artemis III crew, looking forward to more exciting and mind-blowing adventures.

The NDP wants to talk about labels and political attacks. British Columbians are talking about healthcare, affordability, public safety, and whether they can get ahead. A new Leger poll shows the BC Conservatives leading province-wide. The gap between the political class and everyday people is becoming impossible to ignore.

I am the perfect example of how big the #BCCONSERVATIVE tent is under @KerryLynneFindl. I'm an urbanist, a federal Liberal, indigenous, LGBTQ guy who's sick of NDP incompetence, a gov't drug genocide, unaffordablity, and violence in #Vancouver Together, we can build back BC!

It's remarkable that some commentators react as though "Faith, Family, and Freedom" are controversial values. Family is the foundation of every healthy society. Strong families raise children, care for seniors, build communities, and create the social stability that governments can never replace. Freedom is not a partisan concept. It is the freedom to speak openly, practice one's beliefs, raise one's children according to one's values, start a business, pursue opportunities, and live safely without government overreach. Most British Columbians, regardless of political affiliation, want exactly that. As for faith, whether one is religious or not, a free society should respect the right of people to hold and practice their beliefs without ridicule or discrimination. The real question isn't why someone would stand for faith, family, and freedom. The real question is why anyone would be threatened by those values in the first place. These are not radical ideas. They are values shared by millions of Canadians and British Columbians from every background, culture, and community. Keep going Kerry-Lynne - you are representing ALL British Columbians.

The issue facing British Columbia in healthcare is not only the aging demographic of it's 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 in medical school training seats touted by our 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 timely care by training too few healthcare providers. Planning our healthcare needs to be patient centered so that everyone in BC can get timely access and choice in their care.

I have deep respect for the hard-working men and women of this province. You pay your taxes, build our communities, and keep our economy moving every single day. You deserve a government that honours that effort by spending your dollars carefully and wisely. Instead, the NDP has treated taxpayer money with recklessness, driving our debt to $183 billion in just four years. Leading with purpose means we will conduct the core reviews needed on our finances and the public service. Governments do not create wealth. They must prioritize responsible spending so families and businesses can succeed. That is why our momentum continues to build. The latest Leger poll shows British Columbians are responding to this message of respect and renewal. I am grateful for your support. It comes because you see a team that respects your hard work and has a clear plan to restore fiscal responsibility and real opportunity.

INSANE There should be a rule: Any elected government official, that refuses to testify at committee, should be fined $25,000, personally. And the party fined $250,000. Watch how quickly they lose their smug attitude. Corrupt Liberal mafia.

Correct - senior officials formed “safe supply” companies and drove ruinous addiction policies

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.

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 race is over. The members have spoken. And I feel good. Congratulations to @KerryLynneFindl on her win and to my fellow contestants @iainblackbc, @yuri_fulmer and @PeterMilobar for their strong campaigns. Thank you to my incredible team who believed in me, and to everyone who participated in this process. Now, it’s time to beat the NDP so we can restore hope and prosperity to the province we love.

Congratulations to Kerry-Lynne Findlay on being elected leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia. I would also like to congratulate all of the leadership candidates who stepped forward in this race. Each candidate demonstrated a commitment to British Columbia and a willingness to serve. Leadership campaigns are demanding, and every candidate contributed ideas, energy, and passion to the future of our province. Now is the time to come together. British Columbians cannot afford division or vote-splitting. If we are serious about changing the direction of our province, we must unite people from across the centre, centre-right, and right around common-sense solutions and a shared vision for a stronger British Columbia. The Conservative Party of BC and our caucus have demonstrated that we are a big-tent movement that welcomes diverse perspectives while remaining focused on the issues that matter most to British Columbians: affordability, economic growth, public safety, healthcare, education, housing, responsible government, and the protection of private property rights. The BC NDP has spent years pursuing policies that have divided communities and distracted from the challenges facing families, seniors, workers, and businesses. British Columbians deserve a government that brings people together, respects differing viewpoints, and focuses on practical solutions and measurable results. Let us move forward united, support our new leader, support our caucus, and work together to build a safer, more prosperous, and more affordable British Columbia for everyone. United we can win. Divided we guarantee another term of NDP government... Now the work begins! #bcpoli @KerryLynneFindl @iainblackbc @NVanCaroline @PeterMilobar @yuri_fulmer @Conservative_BC @CPBCCaucus

Iain, I am incredibly proud of what you have accomplished throughout this campaign. You ran a respectful, professional, and principled race, and the volunteers who stood beside you were among the finest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. They worked tirelessly for your campaign and, more importantly, for the future of British Columbia. My sincere hope is that when the next election comes, you will choose to run for MLA. British Columbia needs your experience, dedication, integrity, and diplomacy in the Legislature. You have demonstrated the kind of leadership that brings people together and puts the interests of citizens first. People like you represent all British Columbians, and our province would be stronger with your voice and leadership helping to shape its future.

BC Conservative members, I am honoured and humbled to be chosen as your next leader of the BC Conservative Party. Thank you to every member who placed their trust in me. Together we will defeat the NDP and restore prosperity to British Columbia. Join me, findlay4bc.ca
