“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 – a look back at the week of April 28th to May 4th


And so, we come to the end of another week … a week where the topics of discussion included terrorist bombings … on-going arguments over Bills C-48 and 69 … hypocrisy of Greenpeace … Ageism … protect ring Mother Earth … and so much more.

Thank you for dropping by the blog-site, and reading the work of all who provide their commentaries – and remember, you are welcome to comment on any story you agree, disagree, or simply wish to make a statement on.  

Now, without any further delay, here are the 10 most read commentaries of the week:

#10 … JOHN TWIGG:  Notre Dame and Sri Lanka offer new insights into mankind’s precarious prophesied future


#9 … ANDERSON -- This is not a homeless issue; it is a drug and/or mental health issue. Until we are willing to at least be honest about it, we stand no chance of curing it


#8 … Please don’t be ashamed. Just own it. Stop preaching to the masses. When your organization and personnel are willing to walk your own talk, then I guess we’ll have something to discuss


#7 … ADAM OLSEN -- In the beginning, it was the W̱SÁNEĆ teaching to look after Mother Earth, all of the animals, the birds, the trees, the salmon, the wind were— and still are — people


#6 …  FORSETH: Given the words of both Premier Horgan and one-time radical environmentalist George Heyman, we’re not going to see any change in the BC government position



#5 … FORSETH: Weekly earnings of BC employees decreased ... take home pay less than workers in Alberta, Newfoundland / Labrador, Ontario, and Saskatchewan


#4 … ROTHENBURGER:  Ageism is the last bastion of the ‘isms’, and they’re all equally despicable


#3 … Hopefully residents of the city will be more inclined to see the value of a performing arts centre, much as they finally did when it came to building the coliseum at Riverside Park


#2 … FORSETH: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants Canada to be thought of as the peacemakers of the world --- instead, we are the doormats of the world


#1 … Bill C-48 seems to say that these oil substances are only risky in north west British Columbia


Thanks again … and we’ll be back again tomorrow to start anew.

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...

FORSETH: That, to me, sure seems to fit with narcissistic personality disorder – AND - a definite sense of self entitlement

I think most people are aware of why England’s Henry the 8th created the Church of England. It was out of a belief that he should be able to do anything he wanted. And what did he want?  It was a male heir that would follow him and, at his death, become the next King of England.   His marriage to Catherine had not produced one, so he demanded the Pope to allow him to divorce her.  The Pope of course refused so Henry created his own church, and declared himself the "Supreme Head of the Church of England", thereby allowing him to annul the marriage. In other words, he wanted his own way, and because he had the ultimate power in England, he forced his will over the church. Many (most?) would say people suffer like that from 'narcissistic personality disorder'. The Mayo Clinic says, “ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are e...
