My Conservative Party of BC government will not bend the knee to violent mobs. If you call for “death” and burn the Canadian flag — BC’s Conservatives will fight for your arrest or deportation. #bcpoli

Elections BC has revealed that a ballot box containing 861 votes went entirely uncounted, along with 14 unreported votes in Surrey-Guildford—a crucial riding narrowly won by the NDP. While I am not disputing the final outcome pending remaining judicial recounts, it’s clear that

What is happening to the Ostriches is crazy. I truly thought common sense would prevail. Simple solution: these are not chickens. Test all of the birds. If any of them are infected, take the necessary steps. Otherwise let them live.

We have made history in BC. Just 18 months ago, the Conservative Party of BC was at 2% in the polls, had no members, no money, no team. But what we did have was grit, determination and a massive grassroots movement that would make the impossible happen. I am immensely proud

British Columbia already has a fentanyl czar — her name is Doctor Bonnie Henry, and she is focused on promoting fentanyl use in BC. Hopefully, Canada’s new national fentanyl czar is focused on stopping fentanyl instead of promoting it… #bcpoli

If Elizabeth May is not happy in Canada, perhaps she should move to Pakistan. I’m sick and tired of woke, traitorous politicians fighting for “students” like Zain who commit crimes. Zain can go home & commit crimes to protect climate and old growth forests in Pakistan. #bcpoli

Zain Haq is my friend. I am in awe of his moral courage. Today Canada failed a beautiful couple- Canadian Sophie and her husband Zain. Zain is being deported for protecting old growth forests and climate. #heartbroken @CanadianGreens @j_pedneault
Readers added context
Muhammad Zain Ul Haq is deported to Pakistan because he violated the terms and conditions of his visa to study in Canada, after pleading guilty to criminal mischief. thebreaker.news/news/zain-jail…

In 2022, I was kicked out of the BC Liberal Party on my birthday. I considered taking an early retirement, but my wife Kim convinced me to keep fighting for BC — so young people could have the opportunity to build a beautiful life here in BC, just like Kim and I did. I called

Today, I’m asking British Columbians to come together to safeguard and strengthen our democracy. As BC’s elected Official Opposition, the Conservative Party of British Columbia did not want to make any potentially undue allegations prior to gathering evidence and concrete

In British Columbia, grown men should not be allowed to shower with 10 year old girls in the change room of a local public pool. This should not be a controversial statement — frankly, it’s unsettling that people are defending this creepy behaviour. #bcpoli

Quite something to watch people who were keen to hitch their wagons to #MeToo a few years ago defend this kind of thing, isn't it? Then: 'male sexual predation is far more widespread than society admits!' Now: 'of course strange men should be able to shower with little girls.'

I’m going to demand that our Federal Government revoke the visas of people who promote terrorist organizations. #bcpoli

BC Conservative leader @JohnRustad4BC says people who glorify terrorist organizations like Hamas should have their visas revoked if they’re not Canadian. But provincial leaders have no influence on someone’s legal status in Canada so, I’m confused as to what he’s going to do.

We live in unprecedented times. In Richmond, homeowners are being told that their properties may be at risk following a decision granting control of land to an Indigenous band. Property rights form one of the fundamental pillars of Western society. This decision cannot stand.

This is so disappointing to see from a University of British Columbia Professor. No classroom in this province should have room for this kind of radicalism. This isn’t about left vs right — it’s about right vs wrong. #bcpoli

Anyone who is chanting that they are “Hezbollah and Hamas” on October 7th should not be welcome in Canada. This is hate — pure and simple, and it has no place here. #bcpoli

Anti-Israel demonstrators in Vancouver aren’t even trying to hide it anymore: “We ARE Hezbollah and we ARE Hamas.”
