WARD STAMER -- The minister mentioned some success stories of early salvage. I have many that I can list to myself that are not successful in my own riding Impact of BC & Canadian Politics on Social, Economic, Health, Education, Environment, Employment issues by Liberals, Green Party, NDP, & Conservatives

There are implications in the minister’s numbers that the expectation (to recover wildfire fibre) is only 10% - many would disagree with that number. Part of the reason is it’s taking an incredibly long period of time to access that fibre

One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND!

That's okay, but thanks for making my point

You do realize, don't you, that you yourself are pushing a narrow, and pre-conceived, mean-spirited narrative?

That's the kind of negativity that creates even wider gulfs between people.

You might want to think on that.

What a load of crap. I've been a Conservative for many years, and I doubt like hell that anyone who knows me, or of me, would use your rant to describe me. Most are like me ... fiscally responsible, with a social conscience. Don't tar the overwhelming majority, with the views of the minority

A balanced budget is revenues & expenses that balance equally, not “We’re trying to balance our investments & keep our economy rolling.” That's not what a balanced budget is, certainly not for people that try to balance their cheque-book
