“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

Liberals will bow to court ruling, launch review of Trans Mountain oil tanker traffic impact
Amanda Connolly ~~ Global News ~~ September 21, 2018

The Liberals will bow to a federal court ruling and proceed with a review of how increased tanker traffic from the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion could impact marine ecosystems on the Pacific coast.

Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi made the announcement from Halifax on Friday morning and said the plan is to have the additional review completed within the next five months. However, he did not provide any updated timeline on when construction on the controversial project could begin.

“Let me assure you. This government is committed to protecting our oceans and coastlines,” he said, noting updates on the timeline of the project will come within the next few weeks when the government announces how it plans to fulfill the Federal Court’s requirement for it to properly consult with Indigenous peoples. 

“That will be part of the next step that we will be announcing shortly.”


Soji is right on one major point – this government needs to be committed, as it makes the Keystone Cops look like paragons of organization and effectiveness.

The tall foreheads in short pants in the Prime Ministers Office think that environmental legislation is separate from real world economics, investments, GDP growth, our cost of living, attracting entrepreneurs and running an attractive, secure and stable nation.

These idiots wrote environmental law so complex, and convoluted, they could not follow it themselves.


Justin Trudeau’s government is not bowing to anything. They are complying with a court ruling that they must follow the inane environmental law amendments they themselves pushed through parliament. Pretending that the courts are somehow to blame is ridiculous. Complying with the ruling is easy as rescinding Bill C-69 which amended the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and caused the current idiocy.

Were you aware that the $4.5 billion spent on purchase of Trans Mountain, from Kinder Morgan, could have purchased a fleet of ocean-going tugs to help tankers navigate our waters safely.  It also could have upgraded our Coast Guard fleet on BC’s west coast, along with upgrading our contamination / spill fighting facilities to world class levels --- for less than half the cost.

The environment needs to be protected, however, environmental protection should not be the blindered, intolerant religious cult it has become. When environmental protection law and protest strangles our economy, costs of billions in investments, costs us tens of thousands of jobs and increases our costs of living, we must ask what are environmentalists protecting?

Environmental protection law that is not in harmony with the needs of our society, allowing it to grow and thrive, is a form of national suicide by government decree.

We need to show this government what protests are all about. We need to get together, protest and hound them out of office whenever and wherever they set foot outside Ottawa.

We can give them the headlines they crave, in ways they never expected.  Gerald Butts, Chrystia Freeland, Bill Morneau, Katie Telford, and Justin Trudeau LLP … all are masters of nation wrecking.

PEATS: I am writing with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community

The following is a copy of a letter sent to me, which was sent to BC’s Minister of Health Adrian Dix. It is with regards to the impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic in Dawson Creek.   Dear Minister,   I am writing to you today with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community. The closure, scheduled for the summer of 2024, is a result of the utterly burdensome terms and conditions imposed by the bureaucratic Northern Health. As a result, Dawson Creek stands to lose four doctors who have made this city their home, and who wish to continue serving the people of our community.   The impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic is a significant blow to our city. Not only will it result in the loss of highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals, but it will also deprive thousands of Dawson Creek residents of access to their primary physicians. At a time when healthcare se

Selina Robinson: "You broke my heart . . ." (The Real Story)

The mildly Zionist, innocuously leftish and now ousted advanced education minister’s letter to her New Democratic Party caucus colleagues, explaining why she has resigned the caucus to sit as an independent. The letter is an historic document, an artifact of the disgraceful cultural moment we’re living through. It’s important. It’s also a scorcher. It’s gathering a heck of a lot of attention . I’m printing it in full here. I’ve been insisting that what happened to Robinson is a much bigger deal and a completely different story than the one we’d all been led to believe. The necessary background: My piece in the National Post: The despicable untruths behind Selina Robinson's political lynching . More importantly , a Real Story investigation: The Problem With The Selina Robinson Story. . . It wasn't true. What follows is the story of what really happened. Let’s just get into it. Apart from punctuation and spelling I replicate the letter faithfully, with some further comm

Long-time former BC Liberal supporter says, I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United

                              BC United leader Kevin Falcon I recently asked a political acquaintance of mine, about their current involvement with BC United.   I was much surprised with the response given the BC Liberals had been the recipient of a lot of their time and energy in the past. By request, their comments are posted anonymously : I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United. Kevin’s poor judgement in ousting John Rustad from Caucus, and then publicly humiliating him, might be the most inept thing I have seen in BC politics ... and I’ve been involved in BC politics for a number of years! I still think the impetus was John‘s involvement in the Ellis Ross leadership campaign for the BC Liberal Party, and how successful and respected (despite not winning) it was. I am uncertain about the tenor of the current Conservative movement in North America. The once proud Republican Party in the United States has allowed itself to be led by a person who is morally, intell
