“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

FELDSTED: When climate change organizers advocate treason by removing our right to be governed by elected representatives in a constitutional monarchy, they go too far


Canada Should Be Legally Bound to Its Climate Promises -- passing the 2009 Climate Change Accountability Act could close the gap between our country's ambitions and its actions.   
Cameron Fenton  ~~  350.org  / Huffington Post ~~  10/30/2018


During the recent House of Commons emergency climate debate, spurred by an alarming new UN climate change report, there were many politicians talking about the need for Canada to rise to the challenge of climate change. Many of these same politicians acknowledged that, right now, Canada's policies aren't enough to line up with what scientists are saying we need to do.

… it reminded me of the last time I was in the House of Commons watching Question Period. I was there supporting legislation that, if brought back, could close the gap between Canada's climate promises and our climate policy.

… I was in the House of Commons gallery with around 100 other young people from all across Canada … hundreds of youth from across the country had come to the nation's capital to rally for climate action — would spark some action from our elected leaders.

It didn't. Question Period droned on as if we weren't there, as if the Copenhagen climate summit wasn't a few weeks away and as if the existential threat of a scorched earth wasn't waiting in the wings.

Eventually, a few among us got fed up and started chanting … calling for the passage of Bill C-311, known as the Climate Change Accountability Act.



Mr. Fenton is entitled to his opinion, but he is must not to attack the constitutional sovereignty of Canada. Our elected representatives in Parliament cannot be bound by an agreement sponsored by the United Nations or any of its agencies. The Paris Agreement is a stack of useless verbiage.  

If he had bothered to read the text of the Paris agreement, he would discover that the agreement does not apply to all world nations and that there is no penalty for a nation that fails to meet agreement carbon emission targets. 


He should know that the world’s largest carbon emitter, China, has stated that it will continue to increase emissions until 2022 and may then act to reduce emissions. He should know that the USA, who did not sign on to the Paris Agreement has substantially reduced emissions by changing from coal to gas fired electrical generating plants.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) speculates that a reduction in airborne carbon dioxide may reduce the rate of global warming but has no proof that it will happen. The 31 computer models used to generate future global temperatures are all government owned and produce the results that government demand.

So far, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) temperature predictions are wildly above real, observed temperatures. That is because the forecasting models have been tweaked to produce the results that those in charge expect. Temperature changes since 1800 have been very modest – about 0.90 C.

When climate change organizers advocate treason by removing our right to be governed by elected representatives in a constitutional monarchy, they go too far. We must never allow the United Nations of one of their multitudes of agencies and departments to set parameters for our governance.

We are a free people and will not bend to the demands of global warming lunatics.

FORSETH: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

Conservative Economic Team Responds to Urgent Industry Concerns

 " For far too long, the BC NDP has ignored the economic challenges facing British Columbians. Manufacturing jobs are vanishing, forestry is in decline, and private sector employment growth has stagnated. Meanwhile, affordability has worsened for both families and businesses. British Columbians deserve better, and we’re here to deliver real solutions to rebuild our economy and create jobs that support everyday working people and their families ." – Gavin Dew, MLA and Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economy, Development, and Innovation.   December 3, 2024, Vancouver, BC – The Conservative economic team met today with business leaders and stakeholders to tackle critical issues impacting British Columbia’s economy. Attended by 9 critics from the Conservative Caucus, this meeting was convened by MLA Gavin Dew – Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economic Development, and Innovation - as a direct response to an October 30th open letter from seven of the province’s largest industry associations. ...

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
