Vote Vote Mandeep!! #bcpoli @MDHALIWAL4BC

[Mauro Francis @MauroAFrancis]

Unable to run on his own record.
Unable to earn British Columbians’ trust.
Unable to run the province.

Eby has been a failure. Vote Conservative.

[Brad Tennant @bradktennant]

This is a great clip for Lorne Doerkson.

Clear, direct and incredibly relatable.

It’s also exactly the kind of debate moment the NDP will be hoping doesn’t go viral tonight. Sometimes 30 seconds can tell you a lot about a campaign.

“What’s in a number?”

[Lorne Doerkson @LDoerkson]

BC, let me introduce myself. I'm Lorne Doerkson, and I'm ready to get BC back on track and deliver the strong leadership we need in serious times.

[Conservative Party of BC @Conservative_BC]

Taxes in BC are so out of control that even NDP candidates admit David Eby has gone too far.

[Dan Williams @DanWilliamsAB]

Stronger fire services start with strong training. Through the Fire Services Training Program Grant, communities like Hanna can enhance training opportunities for firefighters, helping them respond safely and effectively when Albertans need them most.

In 2027, Alberta’s Fire Services Training Grant has $500,000 in total grant funding to distribute to successful applicant organizations. Application deadline: November 2, 2026.

[Conservative Party of BC @Conservative_BC]

A full slate. One team. Every corner of BC.

Only one party can defeat the NDP and put BC back on track.

Conservatives are ready to deliver what our province needs: strong leadership for serious times.

[Carson Binda @BindaCarson]

It’s official! Elections BC has approved my candidacy in Vancouver-Quilchena.

I’ve spent years exposing government waste and fighting for taxpayers. Now I’m taking that fight to Victoria.

We have a team hitting the ground running.

See you at the doors.

Let’s get to work.

[Lorne Doerkson @LDoerkson]

The Conservative Party of BC is ready to govern.

We have an incredible team of candidates ready to get to work to deliver the strong leadership our province needs in serious times.

On October 24th, vote Conservative.

[Lorne Doerkson @LDoerkson]

I am deeply saddened by what happened in Tsawwassen this morning, and the reports that two people have passed away. I'm keeping their families and loved ones in my thoughts, along with everyone else who was injured. Thank you to the first responders who acted so quickly to care for the injured.

[Lorne Doerkson @LDoerkson]

Today I announced that my Conservative government will take the PST off Canadian beer, wine and spirits.

This measure will benefit Canadian producers and save British Columbians money while they support local businesses.

Strong leadership for serious times. #bcpoli

[Andrew Reeve @AndrewJReeve]

The first time most British Columbians would have ever seen @LDoerkson was when a news crew stumbled upon him, as a first-term MLA, in the middle of a wildfire pitching in to help folks facing the flames.

[Brad Tennant @bradktennant]

So far, the BC election seems pretty simple:

Lorne Doerkson: Don’t know him well. Seems like a good guy.

David Eby: Know him well. Not a good guy.

[brittany @by__brittany]

Lorne Doerkson spent wildfire season updating his Cariboo constituents EVERY SINGLE DAY and helping people through it.

That’s what a Premier would do.

David Eby is using that crisis as a political metaphor to justify an early election.

[Dan Williams @DanWilliamsAB]

Investing in the roads that keep our businesses and communities connected.

Through the Local Government Fiscal Framework, the County of Northern Lights is receiving $1,792,937 to rehabilitate local roads through gravel crushing, supporting safer, more reliable transportation for residents, farmers, and businesses across the county.

Strong core services start with the basics done right. Proud to see this funding go toward the infrastructure Albertans depend on every day.

[Jack Alarie @Jack_Alarie]

There are no words that can accurately describe the admiration I have for Angelo.

He found himself in a situation where the politics of his province offered no good options for a better future, and by sheer force of will he created one.

He gave a voice and a home to a movement that I fully believe will save British Columbia from the destruction being thrust upon it by a radical government hellbent on using British Columbians as guinea pigs for their most depraved and radical experiments.

When they are finally removed from power, Angelo will be the person to thank.

[Angelo Isidorou @angeloisidorou]

Building the Conservative Party of BC has been the honour of a lifetime.

When I joined our party and stepped into my role in 2022, we were polling at two percent, had a broken website, old branding, no money in the bank and almost no members at all.

In just a few short years, we made history, surging to unprecedented support, presenting a powerful modern brand, fueled by the largest membership in the province, all under a multi million dollar organization.

Most importantly, we came within a hair of forming a majority government. From two percent to over forty in just a few years.

Serving as both Campaign Manager and Executive Director has been the highlight of my career. I owe a debt of gratitude to every single Conservative who joined our movement for common sense change. I am extremely proud of the movement we built and will continue to build.

Whether it was then or now, you are part of the future BC needs. After a decade of decline, the BC NDP has driven our province to the brink of total collapse.

Now, more than ever, Conservatives need to keep their focus on winning elections and forming a majority government. Focus Conservatives!

The Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay has a fresh mandate from our members and is leading our party into the next chapter. I wish her and her team the very best of luck. I leave on amicable and mutual terms.

I am excited for my next chapter, where I will continue fighting back against the radical policies that plague the western world, beyond just BC.

Lecture fascinante dans le Globe and Mail au sujet de la relation entre les conservateurs canadiens et le patriotisme. Il faut l’admettre, les libéraux ont tellement dominé le paysage politique fédéral au cours des 100 dernières années qu’ils ont réussi à imprégner leurs symboles et leurs valeurs dans le tissu institutionnel canadien. La construction même de l’état fédéral dans sa forme actuelle est un legs libéral. La Charte des droits et libertés de Pierre Trudeau a fondamentalement changé la trajectoire de ce pays. Le multiculturalisme et l’immigration de masse. Même le drapeau est rouge. Le Canada est un pays dont les institutions penchent à gauche, naturellement. Les conservateurs nagent contre le courant, quasi perpétuellement. Pourquoi? À mon avis, cela vient du fait que les libéraux du Canada anglais et les libéraux du Québec sont très proches idéologiquement et partagent une vision commune du Canada. La gauche est souvent partout pareille, ses codes sont les mêmes partout en occident. Les libéraux n’hésitent pas à utiliser l’État pour mettre de l’avant leurs valeurs durablement. Si vous additionnez les libéraux du Québec et du Canada anglais, c’est mathématique, vous gagnez vos élections plus souvent qu’autrement. Inversement, les Bleus sont davantage « enracinés » et moins prompts à partager une vision commune avec leurs équivalents dans les autres régions du pays. Cela crée des défis de cohérence et de mathématique électorale. Le conservatisme québécois n’est pas libertarien. Il peut concevoir d’utiliser l’État à des fins nationalistes et conservatrices. Ce qu’on « conserve » au Québec n’est pas ce qu’on « conserve » dans l’Ouest canadien. Et on pourrait faire le même exercice en Ontario. Autrement dit, les libéraux partagent un même récit pancanadien tandis que les conservateurs privilégient davantage les traditions politiques propres à chaque région. L’incapacité du mouvement conservateur canadien à incarner une vision capable de rassembler le vote bleu, ou anti-libéral, du Canada anglais et du Québec au cours des dernières décennies explique en partie le succès électoral du Parti libéral du Canada. Structurellement, la cassure de 1982 a rendu ce phénomène quasi permanent, malgré les efforts des premiers ministres Mulroney et Harper qui ont su coaliser. La Charte est devenue le nouveau récit national du Canada, malgré l’opposition explicite d’un de ses peuples fondateurs. La « faute » ne tombe pas seulement sur le mouvement pan-canadien, mais aussi sur les Bleus du Québec qui n’ont pas su investir la seule formation politique capable de rivaliser avec le Parti libéral, c’est-à-dire le Parti conservateur du Canada. Ce vote est divisé entre le PCC et le Bloc québécois, dont les électeurs sont en fait beaucoup moins à gauche que l’actuel leadership du parti. [D’ailleurs, le vote additionné du PCC et du BQ au Québec en 2025 dépasse celui des rouges.] L’État fédéral ayant été abandonné aux libéraux, les nationalistes québécois — qu’ils soient de droite ou de gauche — se rabattent donc sur l’autonomisme ou l’indépendantisme. La réalité est que ce qu’on souhaite « conserver » au Québec relève davantage de l’Assemblée nationale que du Parlement fédéral. La stratégie fédérale en devient donc une de « réduction des méfaits » plutôt qu’une proposition positive de refondation du nationalisme canadien sur une trame narrative qui risquerait de plaire aux nationalistes du Québec. Étant donné le réflexe libertarien ou anti-État de beaucoup de conservateurs du RoC, je ne sais pas si cela est possible ou même réconciliable. Je ne sais plus. Les contours du nationalisme québécois sont beaucoup plus clairement définis et sont culturels/historiques/linguistiques parce que le Québec forme une nation. La suite dans le prochain post. 👇🏻

Hot off the presses! My latest in the National Post. I’m sure the comments will be eventful.
