“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

DAY SEVEN the week of April 14th to 20th


It’s Sunday ... and that means it’s time to take a look at the Top 10 most read stories of the week ... including one back for a second week... and that’s #3 about the BC Conservative Parties new leader Trevor Bolin.

Also this week we talked about Trudeau’s historical record setting run at creating the most debt ... losses from another delay on the Trans Mountain Pipeline ... Caribou consultation meetings being held through-out the province ... and the Trudeau governments disregard for the rule of law.

These stories and more top the list of one you read the most – but – if you missed any of them, here’s a chance to catch them now ... starting with #10:


#10  Trudeau breaks record for debt growth among prime ministers in Canadian history, says Fraser Institute


#9  FELDSTED: We cannot continue a representative contract with a gigolo government that has been bought by and caters to its primary financial supporters


#8  McLEOD: Community befits alone ... the improvement projects as part of Trans Mountain going through Kamloops.  There was going to be a whole corridor improvement project


#7  FELDSTED:  Climate change is not our greatest challenge; it is the lack of competent, ethical, honest, and open governance


#6  Jason Kenney: The NDP is finishing this campaign the way they started it: with fear and smear, U.S. style attack ads and the politics of personal destruction


#5  ERIN OTOOLE: While the SNC scandal is deeply troubling to many observers, it is not even the most serious example of the Trudeau government’s disregard for the rule of law



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


#3  “The advantage I have is over a decade of experience in local politics, two decades in business, and a burning passion to see the other provinces become envious of BC” – Trevor Bolin, BC Conservative Party leader

#2  Caribou Consultation Meetings ... frustration is being expressed because bureaucrats and government officials have been at it for over a year - yet people attending are saying nobody has talked to them. NOBODY!


And at last we come upon the most read post of this past week ....


#1  Sorry but that trade-off of savings, for increased costs, won’t add up no matter how many years someone continues to live in an Energy Step Code Home




There’s a new look to the blog this week, but we’re still telling the important stories about BC Politics and more ... and continuing our discussion on political, economic and social issues that affect those of us in British Columbia, and Canada.

Bye for now ... and we’ll be back starting Monday with new stories we hope will make you think.

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...
