“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 7th to 13th


This week the BC Conservative Party announced a new leader ... the Senate was holding community meetings on Bill C69 ... the federal Liberal government was ramming though another omnibus bill to hide things ... and we talked about independent journalism.

All that and more ... including these next ten commentaries ... the most read of the week.


#10   ADAM OLSEN”  Round-Up? Woodwynn was either organic or was on the way to becoming organic. The future of it was to achieve organic status. It runs next to ENNES, an important watershed within Saanich and Central Saanich


#9  Richard Neufeld: Some Provinces are calling Bill C-69 unconstitutional and a federal infringement on provincial jurisdiction, and others calling for its outright defeat


#8  ADAM OLSEN:  Minister after Minister stood and used the questions to attack the past 16 years of poor management from the former government


#7  TOM BIRCH: If Trudeau backs down, he shows himself to be the bully, and coward, that he is accused of being ... AND it looks more than ever like he is hiding something

 


#5  RICK PETERSON: Senate committee will hear about families being torn apart, savings drained by lack of work, towns dissolving under the pressure of lost jobs, and politics driving decisions rather than science


#4  Independent journalism?  Government rules for social media?  Banning comment from the right side of the political spectrum, and by extension interfering in the next election is going to work


#3  Is it a permission slip? Is it an obligatory tip of the hat? A minor detour? Has it changed anything? 


#2 ... Remember a TV newscaster, turned BC Liberal cheerleader, who Tweeted about the soon-to-be LNG jackpot?  “What would you do with a trillion dollars” ... it’s a “Once in a generation bonanza announced in BC!”


#1  “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

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...
