I’ve put together a tracker of the @Conservative_BC policy plan so you can check out our commitments and follow along with what’s next.
Proud to have run on this plan and excited for what’s ahead for B.C.!
Have a look 👇

There are many dire predictions coming from the left right now about the imminent decline and collapse of BC in the wake of the massive majority won by the BC Conservatives in the provincial election Saturday.
We will have to come back to those predictions in 4 years. I would expect BC will actually be better economically in 4 years time.
Where social programs and delivery of services are concerned, it could be a different story. But it could also become better in terms of wait times for surgeries, PET scans, etc. And possibly also in terms of delivering meaningful help to people struggling with addictions and living on the streets. The NDP approach has NOT been working on that front.
But primarily, the NDP as a governing body has become so deeply infected with wokeism (for lack of a better shorthand for a whole ideological framework crippling society and democracy), that the party is not redeemable.
The general non-woke/anti-woke public (which is not just some mythic set of propagandized 'right-wingers' - it really is everyone apart from the woke bubble itself)... the general public is sick of all of it and wants to get back to normal.
The NDP (and Greens) will only take us deeper into wokeism. They are on a doomed trajectory that cannot be turned around.
The BC Conservatives (a weird mish-mash right now of BC Liberals, libertarians and alienated 'politically homeless' erstwhile leftists) are the ones coming across as normal - the ones who know what a woman is, who know children aren't born in wrong bodies, who know men shouldn't be competing in women's sports or housed in woman's jails, who know home-owners should never fear losing their home because someone decides fee simple title isn't really what all of society has always known it is, where a school trustee won't be fined $750,000 for using biologically correct pronouns and knowing there are only two sexes, where nurses won't be fired for declining to take experimental mRNA injections, where legislation won't be passed barring doctors from honestly describing risks to their patients, where streets and institutions won't be renamed and re-signed with signage unpronounceable to anyone of any race or culture, and on and on.
The wild card in any forecasting of the future right now isn't the BC Conservatives, it's the global situation. There could be nuclear war, a massive cyber attack (already happening apparently), another orchestrated plague... any number of scenarios in which no provincial government can really control or steer the fate of society.
What Musk bhakts and Modi baiters WON’T tell you.
STARLINK WAS USED TO UNDERMINE BHARAT. @shawansen bring you 5 INSTANCES WHEN SECURITY RED FLAGS WERE RAISED
1. Andaman: Starlink Mini found on a Myanmar drug boat carrying 6,000+ kg of meth worth ₹36,000 crore.
2. Manipur: Starlink dish and router recovered with RPF/PLA markings; reported use during internet shutdowns.
3. Punjab: Starlink device seized in a cross-border drug network probe; 28.12 kg of heroin recovered.
4. Gujarat: ATS reportedly linked a Starlink device to a planned maritime drug operation involving a 526-kg haul worth over ₹3,000 crore.
5. Northeast: Security agencies flagged terminals reportedly active inside Indian territory, prompting calls for investigation and preventive action.
I was a very fortunate kid. My dad's GP surgery sat between the Dell and Hampshire's County Ground, so at weekends I could go to a game and get a lift home afterwards. It left me with a passion for both sports and a belief that sport opens a window onto who we are.
When I was growing up, the Tebbit test was a matter of intense debate. Which side did you cheer for at the cricket? For all the criticism it received, it was a test anyone could pass. If you supported England because you saw it as home, you were part of the team regardless of the colour of your skin. Born in Southampton, 10 year old me passed it without even knowing about it.
Giving the @MCCOfficial's Cowdrey Lecture on Thursday made me think about cricket's place in our national life and the current arguments about identity.
In Britain we've built the world's most successful multi-faith, multi-ethnic democracy. I was a beneficiary of it. Whatever issues people had with me as PM (and there was no shortage) my race and religion weren't among them. I could read a lesson at the King's coronation or light Diwali diyas on Downing Street with my daughters without controversy. Foreign leaders assumed these must be huge symbolic moments. For most Brits, they just weren't that big a deal.
But Britain's democratic achievement is now under strain. Some of the challenges are ones I've written about before, like Islamism, and the failure of governments, including the one I led, to adequately control immigration. But something else is going on - a risk that we start equating skin colour with nationality.
After I left office, a debate kicked off here on @X about whether I was English at all, because I was a "brown Hindu". During the election campaign I'd been shocked when footage was broadcast of someone calling me a "Paki." It was shocking precisely because it was so unusual. That kind of abuse had simply not been a feature of my political life. But the Englishness argument was stranger still. Call it the reverse Tebbit test. If you're not white, it no longer matters who you support at the cricket, because you can never be English. It's a test no non-white person can ever pass.
I have no truck with people who offend our sense of fairness and come here illegally; I spent half my premiership trying to deport them to Rwanda. I think the bar for legal migration should be high. It is entirely possible to want a radical reduction in immigration and a far more robust approach to integration, and still totally reject the attempt to turn Britishness into a DNA test.
If you're born and brought up in England and view it as home, what are you other than English? Denying people their Englishness or their Britishness because of the colour of their skin is a recipe for alienation and a two-tier society. How are children who hear this meant to feel?
Sport can play a small but significant role here. Cricket is played by nearly every major ethnic group in this country. Ask what my largely white rural constituents in the Dales and the British-Asian kids in Bradford have in common, and the answer is cricket. If cricket can produce England teams in which every kid can see themselves, the impact reaches far beyond the boundary.
As I write in @thetimes today, we must all be on the same side, cheering for the same team.
We cannot allow race to be reintroduced into our politics. We cannot allow Briton to be set against Briton.
Ex-Marine Commando. 15 years in the Indian Navy.
Then Delhi Police SI.
On 25 July, near the stage at Jantar Mantar, a rowdy mob dragged him, almost lynched him. He lay unconscious for 4 hours at RML. Uniform soaked in blood.
Next day social media called him a “criminal”.
The same people who attacked him ran to the Supreme Court to file cases against the police.
His daughter and other police families also went to the SC.
Because police personnel and their families are also citizens of this country.
They too deserve justice.

Panic over a 4.70% Treasury yield is pure comedy.
An entire generation of money managers got addicted to the 2008–2021 Fed liquidity drip. They think zero interest rates are normal. They aren't.
It was an artificial anomaly that subsidized lazy capital and lazy bankers.
Look at the actual data. From 1990 to 2008—the most stable era of modern growth—the average 10-Year yield was 5.68% (median at ~5.35%).
We aren't in a crisis; we are returning to historical sanity. Capital finally has a cost again. If your business model requires the central bank to manipulate liquidity just for you to survive, you don’t have a business—you have a charity case.
Easy mode is over. Welcome back to reality.
Why are you feeling disrespected now? Just because I asked you to walk the talk, you very clearly mentioned that protestor women should not carry the burden of grace, so if I ask you to display the same level of disgrace that the protestors displayed who you passionately support, then why you feel disrespected? Isn’t it hypocrisy? Preeti ji women like you make word feminist feel shallow and hollow. Speaking in English doesn’t make you wise, your argument and reasoning remains hypocritical and superficial also after slyly attacking me, stop playing a victim now, I do respect women but not those who mislead young and naïve children.
@ReetBhambhani On one hand, the post champions meritocracy and on the other asks for a non meritocratic outcome, the one based on gender. Oh, the irony!
Deeply touched by the good wishes conveyed by people from all walks of life today and over the last few days. While I may not have been able to respond to each message individually, I cherish every greeting conveyed.
I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to serve Bharat and contribute to our nation’s development journey. Over the years, the people of India have repeatedly voted for stability, good governance and development. Their trust has been my greatest source of strength. I remain fully committed to working with even greater dedication to realise the vision of a Viksit Bharat and fulfil the aspirations of 140 crore Indians.
🚨 REALITY OF HUNGER INDEX
🇿🇼 Zimbabwe Rank : 107th
🇮🇳 India Rank : 111th
🍚 India sent 1000MT rice to Zimbabwe as aid
These indices are nothing but hypocrisy of west
I shed no tears for the TMC’s self-destruction. My only hope is that the political culture of the vandals doesn’t start contaminating the W.Bengal BJP. We in the BJP have to be always wary of false friends who are today cosying up to us because they need to wash away their past sins. The detox of Bengal cannot be left incomplete.
💥Good thing is she is giving a clear message to single child parents about what is coming.
Every single dog son and cat daughter lover is signing a death warrant for your children.
Which is why it is a community responsibility to ensure healthy marriages and atleast 2 children for all our Neighbors and society at large.
People of Falta have spoken! Democracy has won and intimidation has lost.
Congratulations to Shri Debangshu Panda Ji for winning in Falta by a record margin. It indicates the unwavering faith of the people of West Bengal towards the BJP. People are seeing the exceptional work of the West Bengal Government across sectors and thus have decided to further bless us.
My compliments to all BJP Karyakartas across West Bengal for their outstanding work. We will keep working for West Bengal’s progress in the times to come.
@BJP4Bengal
@DcWalaDesi@RoKhanna Building something and then naming it right after yourself is not the flex you think it is, @RoKhanna, unless a monarch leads and rules a state. In democracy, leaders are meant to govern with titles not their (family) names.
Meet Sweety Raina- Mother of Samay Raina..
She absolutely breaks down seeing the ruins of her house in Kashmir 💔💔
And you MF’s say Kashmir File is propaganda???
Wake up Hindu’s, all our fate is the same if you dont kick out mullethi’s
A tribute to the courageous BJP Karyakartas!
Even in the midst of celebrations at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata today on the formation of the first ever BJP Government in West Bengal, we remembered all those BJP Karyakartas who laid down their lives in the service of an ideal greater than themselves.
Their sacrifice is etched forever in the journey of the Party. Their courage will remain a source of strength for all of us.
