“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

Can we just send them out into the school yard for an old-fashioned rough and tumble brawl?


Just 76 words ... 401 characters ... that’s all it took for BC NDP Premier John Horgan to make comment on the win by Jason Kenney and the United Conservative Party over in Alberta last night.  Heck he’s used twice as many words to say he’s headed to for a meeting with the Governor of Washington State.

Here’s what the BC government media release from the Office of the Premier had to say:

Premier John Horgan has issued the following statement on the results of Alberta's general election on April 16, 2019:


“This morning, I called Jason Kenney to congratulate him following his election win. Our brief conversation was constructive and focused on issues that matter to both Alberta and British Columbia. We agreed to talk about challenges in the days ahead”.

“I look forward to further conversations and working together in the interests of both of our provinces.”

Given the feuding that has gone on between BC and Alberta in the past couple of years, one might have expected more ... including the date of their first meeting, and when and where it will take place.

I read into the Premiers posting that we can expect more of the same with Alberta insisting that BC stop blocking the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion ... and BC saying Hell No, it won’t happen.

More of the same means on-going and continued fighting. 

Here's a suggestion; can we just send them out into the school yard for an old-fashioned rough and tumble brawl?  That way maybe at last we can get the issues decided once and for all.

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story

One arrested at OneBC event at UVic that draws protesters (Times Colonist)

A would-be speaker was arrested under the Trespass Act after she arrived at the University of Victoria on Tuesday for an event intended to shed light on what the OneBC political party refers to as the “reconciliation industry.”  An officer at the scene initially said two people were arrested, after protesters scuffled with those trying to hold the unsanctioned event. Saanich police issued a statement later Tuesday saying only one person was arrested.  Police did not name the person who was arrested, but OneBC leader Dallas Brodie said it was Frances Widdowson, who was later released ...

Eby misled British Columbians about Cowichan appeal; court records show no stay was ever filed; Conservative leader John Rustad

Conservative Opposition Leader John Rustad says Premier David Eby has been caught misleading the public after court records confirmed the government never filed the stay of the Cowichan ruling the NDP repeatedly promised. “For four months, the Premier said the stay was being sought, the Attorney General claimed the application was underway, and the government told British Columbians that action was coming. The court record shows they did nothing,” said Rustad. “Not one stay, not one application, not one motion. They made promises to homeowners while the registry sat empty.” Premier Eby first promised on August 11, 2025, that a stay would be filed, then again in October, and twice in Question Period when pressured by the opposition. A review of court documents on Friday revealed that no stay has been filed. Rustad said the stay was the single legal measure that could pause the ruling and protect homeowners in Richmond and across the province while appeals move forward. By...
