2026年10月24日,BC省保守党在省选中赢得多数席位,结束了新民主党长达九年的执政。保守党临时党领洛恩·多克森(Lorne Doerkson)当晚在温哥华发表胜选演讲。
多克森宣布,新政府将全力推动BC省经济增长,吸引投资回流、大幅简化审批程序、扩大天然气生产、减税、改善医疗和公共安全。
他尤其向准备离开BC省的企业主和年轻人喊话:请留下来!
以下根据多克森10月24日的胜选演讲整理,为便于中文阅读,删除现场欢呼、掌声及重复口语,保留演讲内容和政策承诺。
一、BC省已经变成蓝色了!
BC省,毫无疑问,已经变成蓝色了!
我的天哪!非常感谢大家!
感谢今晚来到现场的每一个人,也感谢所有在家中观看的朋友。
多么美妙的一个夜晚!
我激动得几乎喘不过气来。
我们共同抓住了这次机会。我们一起投票,选择了一个更加美好的BC省!
从现在开始,我将竭尽所能,让BC省重新走上正轨。
我要感谢我们的志愿者。
无论刮风下雨,你们都挨家挨户敲门拜访,竖起竞选标牌,拨打电话。没有你们的辛勤付出,今晚的一切都不可能实现。
我要感谢每一位参加竞选的候选人,也感谢每一位参与投票的选民。
包括那些没有把票投给我们的人。
非常感谢你们!
我也想介绍一下我的家人。
我的继子布莱斯(Bryce)、妻子雪莉(Shelly)、母亲贝芙(Bev),还有我的女儿米兰达(Miranda)和谢尔比(Shelby)、孙女以及继子达米安(Damian)。
今晚,能够和家人一起站在这里,我非常高兴。
我还要感谢家乡卡里布—奇尔科廷(Cariboo-Chilcotin)的竞选团队。
感谢唐娜·巴尼特(Donna Barnett)。很多人认识她。对我来说,她就像一位母亲。
还有与她共同领导团队的布莱恩,以及负责筹款的凯莉和其他工作人员。
你们完成了难以置信的工作!
我向你们保证,我会像这些志愿者一样勤奋地工作。
今晚,我还要向尹大卫(David Eby)表达敬意。
公共生活对一个人及其家庭都有很高的要求。他和他的家人为这个省付出了很多。
因此,非常感谢你,尹大卫。
我也要向BC绿党党领艾米莉·洛温(Emily Lowan)表达敬意,祝贺她完成了一场非常出色的竞选。
BC省人民应该感谢她的热情,以及她为激励成千上万年轻人参与公共事务所作出的努力。
谢谢你,艾米莉。
二、真正的领导力,不是声音有多大
大家大概都知道,我是一个来自威廉姆斯湖(Williams Lake)的人。
我非常热爱卡里布—奇尔科廷地区。
实际上,我出生于新西敏市(New Westminster),在素里(Surrey)长大,曾经就读于布里奇维尤小学(Bridgeview Elementary)。
后来,我们一家搬到了北方。
我留在那里,经营了20年的报纸。
这份工作给了我非常宝贵的教育。
你会知道一个小镇究竟发生了什么:谁在招聘,哪家企业要关门,谁又在为未来怀抱希望。
后来,我还担任过扶轮社(Rotary Club)主席,以及牛仔竞技节的副主席。
我见过很多人在牛仔竞技中被甩下马背。说实话,我自己也被甩下来过几次。
但我从中学到了一件事:
无论摔得多疼,身上留下多少瘀伤,你都必须重新站起来,拍拍身上的尘土,再次骑上去。
而观众会为你起立鼓掌。
因为你在努力,因为你没有放弃。
这也是我从政以来一直坚持的态度。
当我的选区遭遇森林大火和洪水时,我始终和邻居们待在一起,哪里需要帮助,我就尽力去做。
这些经历让我明白了,在艰难时刻,什么才是真正强有力的领导。
真正的领导力,不是声音有多大。
而是当人们需要你的时候,你会出现。
是敢于对人民讲真话。
是兑现自己作出的承诺。
也是当你犯错的时候,敢于承认错误,然后继续工作。
今晚见到大家,我实在太高兴了。
哪怕花上一整晚,我也想和这里的每一个人握手。
三、BC省的地图,不能到了希望镇就结束
这些经历还让我明白了另一件事:
一个省,只有每一个地区都发展起来,整个省才能真正运转良好。
长期以来,很多BC省居民都觉得,维多利亚已经把他们忘记了。
仿佛在政府眼中,BC省的地图到了希望镇(Hope)就结束了。
但是今晚,BC省地图上的每一个地方,都重新变得重要了!
我相信BC省。
而且我相信的是整个BC省。
我走遍了这个省的许多地方。
我一生中很大一部分时间,都在我们美丽的省份各地工作、旅行。
从百里屋(100 Mile House)、威廉姆斯湖,到素里、枫树岭(Maple Ridge)、奇利瓦克(Chilliwack)、基洛纳(Kelowna)。
从萨尼奇(Saanich)、苏克(Sooke)、兰福德(Langford),到列治文和温哥华。
过去几周,我喝了太多咖啡。说实话,今晚也喝了不少!
但我知道,BC省人民勤劳、勇敢,富有开拓精神。
他们想要的,不过是一个公平的机会。
一个能够在这片土地上创造事业、建设未来的机会。
这也是BC省最古老的故事。
数千年来,原住民在这片土地上建立自己的生活和社会。
后来,又有一批人来到卡里布地区。
他们除了身上的衣服,几乎一无所有,但他们怀揣梦想。
为了寻找黄金,他们沿着菲沙峡谷(Fraser Canyon)开辟出马车道路。
很多人最终破产了。
今天,那些曾经热闹的淘金营地,不少已经变成了鬼镇。
但他们仍然义无反顾地走了过去。
因为他们相信,自己有机会创造一番伟大的事业。
这就是BC省的开拓精神!
这种精神从未消失。
它只是需要一个真正站在人民一边的政府!
朋友们,我向你们保证:
BC省最好的日子,还在前面!
四、让整个BC省的经济重新运转起来
当我说我们要让BC省经济全面加速发展的时候,我希望大家明白,这种发展将发生在哪里。
它不会只发生在某一条街道,也不会只发生在某一座城市。
它会发生在基蒂马特(Kitimat),那里的BC省天然气正被运往世界各地,为世界提供能源。
它会发生在圣约翰堡(Fort St. John),那里是天然气的开采地。
它会发生在乔治王子城(Prince George)、奎斯内尔(Quesnel)和威廉姆斯湖。
在这些地方,一份木材加工厂的工作,应该仍然足以让一个家庭过上体面的生活。
它会发生在基洛纳和奥肯那根(Okanagan)。
在那里,果园和科技企业比邻而居。
它会发生在温哥华岛的各个地方。
在那里,渔船仍然在太阳升起之前就驶向大海。
它也会发生在库特尼(Kootenays)地区。
在特雷尔(Trail),人们已经冶炼金属超过一个世纪。
它会发生在素里。
这座城市正在迈向成为BC省人口最多城市的未来。
当然,也会发生在温哥华。
那里汇集了新的创意和企业总部。
所有这些地方,都是同一部经济机器的一部分。
奎斯内尔的一家木材厂正常运转,就能让素里的一名卡车司机有工作。
北方的一座矿山开始开发,就能让三角洲(Delta)的港口更加繁忙。
这是一个完整的经济体系。
它贯穿BC省地图上的每一个城镇!
这就是我所说的,一个能够让所有人受益的BC省。
政府将成为推动发展的催化剂。
这一点,我向你们保证。
但是,真正推动经济前进的发动机,是你们!
五、2032年天然气产量翻一番,2035年增加到三倍
那么,我们究竟要做什么?
我相信什么?
其实很简单。
首先,我相信必须让投资重新回到BC省!
明年,我们将在温哥华举办一场令世界瞩目的商业峰会。
我们将重新欢迎资本来到BC省。
企业可以根据一个明确的“不”来制定计划。
但如果政府始终说“也许”,企业就根本无法规划未来。
我相信必须减少繁文缛节。
我相信能源产业。
我们要以前所未有的力度削减官僚程序!
到2032年,我们要将天然气产量翻一番。
到2035年,增加到目前的三倍!
朋友们,这意味着BC省将增加数以万计的工作岗位。
同时,每年还将带来至少60亿加元的收入,用于我们所有人都依赖的医院和学校。
我相信那些亲手建设、挖掘和种植的人。
我们要让更多木材装上卡车。
让审批从过去需要几年,缩短到几个月。
我们还要支持矿产勘探,找到BC省下一座矿山。
我相信,我们必须建设港口和铁路,让产品能够进入市场。
还要建设电力基础设施,让新工厂不用等待好几年才能接入电网。
我们要发展科技,让创新、人才和就业机会留在BC省。
我相信我们的年轻人。
我相信,他们的未来应该就在这个省。
六、减税1000加元只是开始,BC省不会增加新税
我坚信,应该让你们把自己辛辛苦苦挣来的钱,更多地留在自己的口袋里!
减税1000加元只是一个开始。
BC省不会再增加新的税种!
我相信一个由公共财政充分支持的医疗体系。
我相信,农村地区的急诊室和产科病房,应该真正开门接诊。
我相信,BC省人民应该能够找到他们需要的家庭医生。
我也相信,我们必须让医院成为医生和护士能够安全工作的地方。
我相信公共安全。
我们必须保护自己的社区。
必须确保罪犯被关在监狱里。
也必须让那些需要治疗的人真正得到治疗,恢复健康。
我还相信,必须保护私人财产权。
我相信BC省的公园应该向所有BC省居民开放。
我相信,政府必须以正确的方式管理财政。
谨慎使用纳税人的钱,同时发展经济。
只有经济增长,我们才能真正拥有足够的资源,去满足人民的需要。
当一个省重新相信自己的时候,事情就会开始改变。
把这些目标放在一起,我想建设的是怎样一个BC省?
我希望BC省成为加拿大最繁荣的省份!
我要让BC省成为投资者优先选择的地方。
成为最优秀的人才愿意安家立业的地方。
我希望在BC省,只要一个人勤奋工作,就应该有机会买下一套家庭住房,并且能够在这片美丽的土地上拥有自己的未来!
七、投资者,请留下!年轻人,请留下!
我还想对今晚没有来到现场的人说几句话。
在这个省,同样有属于你们的位置。
带着你们的想法来吧。
带着你们的家庭来吧。
带着你们的抱负来吧。
在BC省,会有人接听你们的电话,回应你们的需要。
我还想对那些正在考虑把自己辛苦建立的企业搬到加拿大其他地方的企业主说:
我恳请你们留下来!
因为令人振奋的时代就要到来了!
就在这里继续发展你们的事业吧!
我们一定会让你们觉得,留下来是值得的。
我向你们保证!
对于我们这个美丽省份的年轻人,我也想说:
留下来吧!
这里是你们的家。
我希望你们人生最美好的时光,就发生在这里。
在你们成长的城镇里,在父母和朋友的身边。
在一个你们能够负担得起生活的地方。
我承诺,每一天都会为实现这个目标,为你们而努力。
对于我们的原住民,我想说:
我们将以合作伙伴的身份,共同建设这个未来。
并为所有人提供发展所需要的确定性。
八、2036年,让我们的孩子在一个令世界羡慕的BC省长大
朋友们,就在今天晚上,BC省有一个婴儿出生了。
也许是在素里。
也许是在威廉姆斯湖、乔治王子城。
或者彭蒂克顿(Penticton)、哈迪港(Port Hardy)。
到了2036年,这个孩子就10岁了。
我希望我们的儿女,能够在一个令全世界羡慕的BC省长大!
在这里,他们的父母能够买得起住房。
在这里,他们不必为了追求更好的生活而离开家乡。
那些当年走进卡里布荒野的开拓者,并没有现成的路线图。
他们拥有的,是希望。
而这也正是今天我们所有人最需要的东西。
希望!
今晚,BC省作出了自己的选择。
能够作为你们的省长,为你们服务,将是我一生中最大的荣幸!
我将把自己拥有的一切,都投入到这份工作之中。
我向你们保证!
但我也向你们保证:
我不可能把每一件事都做得完美。
当我做错事情的时候,我会坦诚地告诉你们。
然后,我会重新投入工作。
我们有一个省需要建设。
而我想不出,还有谁比你们更适合与我一起完成这项事业。
这就是艰难时代所需要的强有力领导!
行动起来吧,BC省!
让我们开始工作。
让我们释放这个省,以及这里每一位居民身上无穷的潜力!
无论你们生活在BC省的哪个角落,我都已经准备好,为所有BC省人民履行自己的责任!
谢谢大家!
愿上帝保佑你们!

Lorne Doerkson’s 2026 BC Election Victory Speech
October 24, 2026
1. BC Is Definitely Blue
BC is definitely blue!
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much, everyone. We are so glad that you’re here. Thank you to everyone in this room, and of course everyone watching at home.
What a night this is!
Man, I am out of breath. I am so excited.
Together, we seized this opportunity, you guys. And together, we voted for a better British Columbia.
And from here, I will do everything in my power to get British Columbia back on track.
To our volunteers: you knocked on doors, rain and shine. You did so much incredible work. You put up signs. You made the calls.
None of this would have been possible without your hard work.
And to every candidate that put their name on a ballot, and to everyone who voted tonight, including those who voted for someone else, thank you so very much.
I want to take a real quick minute just to introduce my family.
Of course, I’ve got a stepson, Bryce, here; my wife, Shelly; my mom, who is so proud and happy right now.
Her name is Bev, everybody, and she is so happy.
Of course, my beautiful daughters, Miranda and Shelby, my granddaughter, my stepson Damian.
We are so glad to be here.
But I also want to thank my team at home because they have done an unbelievable job.
And I will say this: Cariboo-Chilcotin is amazing.
My campaign team there, of course, was Donna Barnett. Many will know her.
She is like a mom to me, and I’m so grateful for her co-captaining the team with Brian, and Carrie, who did an amazing job of our fundraising.
But I also wanted to thank a few people in the room: Robin, Angelina, Bennett, Scott Tucker, Kane Fraser, Scott and Twyla, and everyone else out there.
Thank you, Cariboo-Chilcotin.
I promise you I am going to work as hard as all of those volunteers did.
I want to recognize David Eby tonight.
Public life asks a lot of us all. It asks a lot of a person and a lot of their family, and he has given to this province for years, both of those things.
So, thank you very much, David Eby.
I also want to recognize Emily Lowan and congratulate her on an incredible campaign.
British Columbians can be grateful for her passion, all that she’s done to inspire thousands of young British Columbians to get involved.
So, thank you, Emily.
2. Strong Leadership for Serious Times
Listen, guys, as most of you know, I’m a guy from Williams Lake.
I love Cariboo-Chilcotin so much.
I was actually born in New Westminster. I grew up in Surrey, and I went to Bridgeview Elementary.
Then we moved north, and I stayed.
And for 20 years I ran newspapers.
That was a very good education for me.
You learn what’s really going on in a town: who’s hiring, who’s closing, who’s hoping.
And I’ve been, of course, the president of the Rotary Club and vice president of the Stampede.
I have watched a lot of people get thrown at a rodeo.
And I’ll say I’ve been thrown a few times myself.
But what I’ve learned from that, from the bruises, is that you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and you get back on.
And the crowd gets to its feet for you because you’re trying.
That is the approach that I have brought to my political life.
But as communities throughout my riding have fought fires and floods, I have stayed with my neighbors and pitched in where I could.
That taught me what strong leadership for serious times really means.
It isn’t loud.
It’s showing up.
It’s telling people the truth.
It’s keeping the promises that you’ve made.
And it’s owning it when you get something wrong and getting back to work.
Oh my God, I am so glad to see you guys tonight.
I’m going to shake every hand in the room if it takes me all night.
3. A Province Only Works If All of It Works
It taught me something else as well.
A province only works if all of it works.
You guys, for a very long time, a lot of British Columbians have felt like Victoria forgot about them, like the map maybe stopped at Hope.
But tonight, the whole map counts for British Columbia.
I believe in British Columbia, and I believe in all of it.
And I’ve seen all of it.
I’ve spent the better part of my life working and traveling to all corners of our beautiful province.
100 Mile House and Williams Lake, of course, Surrey and Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and Kelowna, Saanich, Sooke and Langford, Richmond and Vancouver.
I have had a lot of coffee in the last couple of weeks.
Frankly, I’ve had quite a bit tonight.
But British Columbians are hardworking, trailblazing people.
They want a fair shot at building something in this province.
And that is the oldest story in this province.
First Nations built lives and nations here for thousands of years.
And then came people who walked into the Cariboo with the clothes on their backs and a dream.
They carved a wagon road up the Fraser Canyon to get to the gold.
And plenty of them went broke.
Plenty of those camps are ghost towns today.
But they went anyway for a chance to build something amazing.
That is the trailblazing spirit of British Columbia, and it never left.
It just needs government that’s on its side.
And together, our best days are still ahead of us, my friends.
I promise you that.
4. One Economy Across British Columbia
So when I say that we are going to supercharge British Columbia, I want you to know where it happens.
It isn’t going to happen on one street or in one city.
It happens in Kitimat, where BC natural gas leaves to power the world.
It happens in Fort St. John, where the gas comes out of the ground.
In Prince George, Quesnel, and Williams Lake, where a mill job should still pay a family nicely.
In Kelowna and the Okanagan, where orchards run right up against the tech companies, you guys.
Up and down Vancouver Island, where the fishing boats still go out before the sun comes up.
And in the Kootenays, where they’ve been smelting metal in Trail for more than a century.
In Surrey, on its way to becoming the biggest city in our province.
And yes, in Vancouver, where the ideas and the head offices are.
Every one of those places is part of the same engine.
A mill running in Quesnel keeps a trucker working in Surrey.
A mine opening in the north keeps a port busy in Delta.
It’s one economy, and it runs through every town on our map in British Columbia.
That is what a BC that works for everyone means.
We will be the catalyst.
I promise you that.
But you are the engine.
5. Bringing Investment Back and Expanding Natural Gas
So what do I believe in?
Well, I’ll tell you.
It’s simple for me. Plain and simple.
I believe in bringing investment back to British Columbia.
And we will host a business summit next year in Vancouver that will be the envy of the world.
We will welcome capital back to our province.
You can plan around a no, but you can’t plan around a maybe.
I believe in cutting red tape.
I believe in energy.
We will cut red tape like it’s never been cut before.
We will double natural gas production by 2032 and triple it by 2035.
Folks, that is tens of thousands of jobs in our province and at least $6 billion a year for hospitals and schools that we all depend on.
I believe in the people who build, dig, and grow.
More fiber on the trucks, permits in months instead of years, and backing for exploration that finds the next mine in our province.
I believe in building the ports and the rail that get it all to market, and the power to run a new plant without years of waiting for grid connection.
Technology that keeps ideas and jobs right here.
I believe in our young people and their futures being right here in our province.
6. Tax Cuts, Health Care and Public Safety
And I believe, absolutely, in you keeping more of what you earn.
A $1,000 tax cut is just the start, with no new taxes in British Columbia.
I believe in health care that is fully and publicly funded.
I believe in rural ERs and maternity wards that are actually open.
And I believe in getting British Columbians the family doctors that they need and the hospitals that are safe for our doctors and our nurses who work in them.
And I believe in public safety that protects our communities, makes sure criminals stay behind bars, and that those who need treatment actually get healthy in British Columbia.
I also believe in the protection of private property rights, and a British Columbia where parks are open to all British Columbians.
And I believe that we must pay in the right way, careful with your money and growing our economy, so that careful is actually enough.
Because when a province believes in itself, things start to move in British Columbia.
Put it all together, and here’s what I want.
A British Columbia that is the most prosperous province in this country.
The place where investment goes first, and the place the best people choose to build their lives.
I want a BC where a hard day’s work gets you a family home and a future right here in this beautiful province.
7. To Business Owners and Young People: Stay
I want to say a word to the people who aren’t in this room.
There is a place for you here.
Bring your ideas, bring your family, bring your ambitions, and somebody will pick up the phone in British Columbia.
And to the business owner that is thinking about taking what they have built somewhere else in this country, I am begging you to stay, because there are incredible times ahead.
Grow it here.
We are going to make it worth your while.
I promise you that.
And to the young people of our beautiful province, I am telling you to stay.
This is your home, and I want you to have your best days happen here, close to your parents and your friends, in the town that you grew up in, in a place that you can afford.
I promise to work for this and for you every single day.
And to our First Nations, this future is one that we will build together as partners, with the certainty all of us need.
8. Building a Future for the Next Generation
Folks, a baby was born in this province tonight.
Maybe in Surrey, maybe in Williams Lake or Prince George, Penticton or Port Hardy.
But in 2036, that child turns 10.
And I want our sons and daughters to grow up in a BC that is the envy of the world, where their parents can afford a home, where they don’t have to leave town to get ahead.
Those trailblazers who walked into the Cariboo didn’t have a road map.
They had hope.
And that is exactly what we all need right now, is hope.
Tonight, British Columbia made a choice.
And it is going to be the honor of my lifetime to serve you as your premier.
And I am going to give this job everything that I’ve got.
I promise you that.
And I also promise you that I won’t get it all perfect.
But when I don’t, I’m going to tell you.
And then I’ll get back to work.
We’ve got a province to build, and I can’t think of better people to build it with than you.
This is strong leadership for serious times.
Let’s do this.
British Columbia, we are going to get to work unlocking the endless possibilities of our province and our people.
And in every corner of it, I am ready to deliver for all British Columbians.
Thank you, and God bless.
I want to shake every hand in the room.
