“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

CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS: We wanted to show you a headline from this morning


CALGARY:  March 12th, 2019 

U.S. the new oil king as Canadian outlook deteriorates: IEA ... The International Energy Agency’s latest oil forecast sees diverging prospects for the two neighbours’ oil and natural gas industries

One of the main reasons why? Continued delays in building new pipelines.  This is Canada in 2019. How did this happen?

Canada sits on the third largest known reserves on the planet. We are global leaders when it comes to environmental responsibility, innovation and safety. Past surveys* have shown that the world would choose Canadian oil and energy products before any other country in the world.

*People around the world see Canadian oil and natural gas as the energy of the future, according to a new global research survey.

But here’s the cold reality.

A lack of leadership or direct confrontation from political leaders has meant tens of billions of dollars of investment evaporating out of Canada. A range of new policies have made our country less competitive while we let foreign oil continue to sail into our country without the same regulatory challenges.

Those are jobs for all Canadians right across the country that have disappeared and are instead being sent to other countries like the United States, Saudi Arabia or Nigeria. And that’s billions more in government revenues that should be going to things like new roads, hospitals and schools.


To make things even worse, the federal government is piling on with new legislation that will make building new pipelines nearly impossible with bills C-69 and C-48.



That’s unacceptable.

Tell senators and the federal government that Canadians do not back these bills and it’s time to bring investment back into Canada.



Send a letter now ... Take action ... Fight for Canada’s future.

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: You Have To Be A Bit Crazy

  Ward and his wife Carleen celebrating his win on election night.   In March of this year, I took on the role of Campaign Manager for BC Conservative candidate Ward Stamer.  It’s the third time I’ve had the opportunity as I took on the role for Peter Sharp in 2013, and for Dennis Giesbrecht in 2020. Now let me tell you, in the past, a BC Conservative campaign team generally consisted of myself, the candidate and one or two helpers – and very little in the way of a campaign budget. Thankfully, a benefit of having spent 30+ years in the broadcast media afforded me the ability to do ad copy and write candidate speeches, and prep both Dennis and Peter to deal with the media – it’s also something I have always enjoyed. That was part of my duties this time around as well, however having a team of a dozen and a half volunteers meant that for the first time we had people available to ID our supporters, put together and install campaign signs, distribute campaign literature, and help out at ou

Rustad will support policy for 'everyday' people, otherwise work to bring down NDP

  Conservative Party of B.C. John Rustad Tuesday (Oct. 29) said his party would support government policies that support "average, everyday working" persons in B.C., but also repeated earlier promises to bring down the B.C. NDP government under Premier David Eby. "If there are things that are moved forward that will improve lives for those people, we would be looking at support it," Rustad said. "But if he's going to carry forward with the destructive policies that he has, then yes, we are going to look at every opportunity possible to bring him down as soon as possible."  CLICK HERE for the full story
