BC Conservative House Leader Warbus says her ancestors never asked for the lightbulb. Listen to the disdain in her voice for the civilization that we built. Yes, the same Conservative MLA who uses her name to “decolonize” us “one tongue at a time.”

The Conservative Party of BC MLA for Chilliwack-Cultus Lake is on a mission to “decolonize” all of us “one tongue at a time.” This is what you call a poison pill for a political party, my friends. The reconciliation industry’s tentacles run deep in our politics.

Prince George is a prime example of the hollowing out of once thriving and productive small towns across British Columbia. Deaths of despair. Mills and manufacturing jobs lost. Street disorder and crime. Damaged businesses and eroded downtowns. The addictions industry thrives while individuals and communities suffer. BC’s progressive drug politics didn’t fail by accident. Policymakers adopted a model that concentrated active addiction in taxpayer-funded drug dens, expanded toxic supply, and softened enforcement. A large network of NGOs, housing operators, drug providers, and related contractors in British Columbia receives steady public funding tied to the ongoing presence of active addiction and homelessness. It was always an approach and incentive structure that was doomed to fail. Success is linked to engagement metrics, not to reducing the number of people using and on the street. Recovery and abstinence are not primary goals. We don’t need to claim deliberate sabotage, but the incentive pattern is real and observable. Higher client numbers justify larger budgets and more sites. Until the incentives reward recovery instead of sustained addiction, the cycle will continue, and cities across British Columbia will keep paying the price.

BC Conservative House Leader Warbus wants reconciliation based on a big lie. One part of the lie is the claim of 215 murdered children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. She also wants to “educate” us that it’s the “truth.” Listen to the end.

Former indigenous rights lawyer, Tim Thielmann, explains how the reconciliation industry works. Make no mistake, those profiting through politics rather than work will throw tantrums and blockade projects that serve the public interest when the spigots are turned off.

BC Conservative leadership contestant Iain Black does a land acknowledgment to kick off a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade event. He also promoted vaccine passports and then misrepresented his position in the debate. The Venn diagram continues to fit perfectly.

BC Conservative leadership contestant Yuri Fulmer, who gained traction after his deal with Dallas Brodie, delivers a land acknowledgment at a Capilano University graduation ceremony. Nothing says “unite the right” and “strong leadership” like a tired progressive ritual.

BC “Conservative” House Leader Warbus boasts that modern treaties do not extinguish aboriginal title and credits her dad for it. We’ve all seen the result, enormous transfers of land, wealth, and power with nothing in return.

Caroline Elliott called former MLA Laurie Throness "abhorrent" for standing behind his Christian beliefs. That's an insult to over 30% of British Columbians who are Christian. Caroline Elliott, do you still hold these views today? Care to retract and/or explain?

A very interesting video of Ms. Brodie. In reality, this staffer sent me a countersigned contract with the party on July 27th at 8:07 p.m., which remained in effect until his resignation. “This is about radical immigration policies and incel white supremacy.” – Dallas Brodie It’s a really ugly look for Ms. Brodie to use her platform and the public’s trust in her brand to smear a 22-year-old former employee of the caucus and party who had thousands of online shitposts. Displaying an extraordinary lack of grace and leadership.
