The NDP’s handling of the Cowichan ruling is a complete and utter disaster. Their reckless UNDRIP based policies and changes to the Interpretation Act have thrown fee simple title into chaos across British Columbia. Homeowners, farmers, and businesses in the Cowichan claim area and beyond are now left in serious doubt. When Aboriginal title claims create this kind of uncertainty over private land, families lose confidence in their ownership of their own homes, and investors flee. Vital projects grind to a halt while the NDP fuels division and economic chaos, rather than providing any clarity. The NDP has zero credibility to lecture anyone about unity or the economy when their own ideological experiments are actively sabotaging the property rights British Columbians depend on. This is reckless and dangerous, and Richmond-Queensborough is getting hit especially hard. British Columbia desperately needs ironclad guarantees of fee simple title and a government that puts real certainty and results ahead of these disastrous ideological experiments.

The NDP’s decisions on DRIPA, their changes to the Interpretation Act, and the uncertainty from the Cowichan ruling are undermining the security of homes, farms, and businesses across our province. When fee simple title is cast into doubt, families lose confidence, investors walk away, and vital projects like pipelines to tidewater are stalled. This is the frustration our Alberta neighbours feel, and it weakens us all. I know these issues firsthand. I fought and won a landmark property rights case at the Supreme Court of Canada on the Musqueam leasehold dispute, defending ordinary homeowners against overreach. Secure property rights are essential to freedom, family stability, and a thriving economy. The NDP cannot credibly lecture Alberta about unity while his policies create the very roadblocks fuelling Western concerns. British Columbians expect better. While the NDP pushes policies that sow division, our Conservative vision will strengthen the West and deliver a far more prosperous British Columbia for every family. This is about good-paying jobs, safer communities, and a province where families can afford to stay and build their futures. Having served in Stephen Harper’s cabinet, where we lowered taxes and returned to surplus, I know how to deliver these results. The NDP’s ideological experiments have gone on long enough. I invite every British Columbian who believes in freedom and prosperity to join the BC Conservative movement today. Become a member and help us build the team that will rescue our province. Join me. Together we will defeat the NDP
