A summary of the BC Political Coup - unbelievable:
-The center-right Conservative Party ousted their own leader who was voted in by actual members because the party elite felt she was too right-leaning...
she was ALSO banned from running with them in the election. Her husband was seemingly banned as well. (A total family purge)
The party leadership was then replaced with people who LOST to her in the actual vote. A third-world style coup.
NOW this party expects the 51% of their membership who they betrayed to simply "unite"
-Seeing this dumpster fire happening, the Premier called an election on the same day to upgrade his majority government to...... a majority government to "handle Trump".... and get himself power for 2 extra years.
This is not a real democracy. This is a banana republic.
Washington just landed another 50% duty on Canadian goods. B.C. will feel it: wine, paper, furniture, value-added wood.
Do not let Victoria hide behind that.
Yes, B.C. is exposed to the new U.S. duties. That part is true. The lie is that our mills are dying because of Washington. They are dying because Victoria will not let them have logs. 21 mills gone since 2023. Harvest half the target. Permits measured in years. Salvage rotting beside empty towns.
Tariffs are real. They are not why Plateau went dark.
This was a homegrown shutdown.
Breaking News: Now we have had the US Attorney’s office come to the rescue of victims in British Columbia. They have laid the smack down with charges against foreign thugs who have also committed targeted violent crimes right here in our province.
Kudos to the US Attorney’s Office for stepping up and helping protect British Columbians when our own government would not.
For years, communities in Surrey and across the Lower Mainland have been terrorized by foreign-based organized crime gangs running violent extortion rackets. Families and businesses faced shootings at their homes and constant threats. They begged the provincial government for real action and proper prosecutions.
Instead, the NDP failed to deliver adequate charges against these dangerous criminals. Even worse, this government floated the idea that victims who tried to protect their own homes from violent attacks could face vigilante charges.
The NDP government should be ashamed of itself. The BC Attorney General must immediately make sure her ministry is properly funded so that swift justice can be delivered here at home.
British Columbians deserve a government that prosecutes violent criminals and stands with victims, not one that makes excuses and threatens people for defending their families.
The NDP has failed on public safety. It is time for leadership that puts law and order first.

EDITORIAL: Canada tells investors ‘we’re not ready’

Canadians should not be forced to bail out condo developers.
Condo prices in the Vancouver area, Canada's most expensive housing market, should be allowed to normalize, giving the next generation a fair shot at home ownership.
A bailout won’t create new housing — it will only keep prices out of reach for many Canadians.
We requested a review of this proposal at the Ethics Committee this week. My full remarks are below.
