“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 May 19th to 25th


Before we start looking back at the 10 most read commentaries of the week, we’re actually going to have a Number 11 ... that’s because it was just barely out of the Top 10 ... it comes from BC MLA Adam Olsen:

#11 ... ADAM OLSEN -- There is nothing exclusive about this canoe. Indeed, all are welcome to come aboard the canoe as long as you are paddling for the Kitlope


#10 ... DAN ALBAS -- Regardless of personal political views, I believe adding partisan interests to this process should raise serious worry


#9 ... More than just focusing on pipeline and fuel issues however, Bolin expanded further on building BC, its economy, and well-paying jobs


#8 ... ADAM OLSEN -- This is just paranoid, conspiratorial fear-mongering you say! The result of the over-active mind of someone listening to too many podcasts


#7 ... FRASER INSTITUTE: Many barriers to competition in Canada result from government interference, and these barriers affect a sizable share of the Canadian economy


#6 ... FELDSTED -- The most arrogant and inane statement ever uttered by the IPCC is that “(climate) science is settled”. Science is never settled; it sits awaiting the next discovery and incremental improvement


#5 ... SCOTT ANDERSON -- Climate Change and the Great Manure Crisis -- Part Three
 

#4 ... ADAM OLSEN -- I realized on that stretch of road that the light or darkness that I feel about the current state of provincial or global affairs is the only thing that I can control


#3 ... NEIL THOMPSON -- "Exploitation" is to women's issues what "sustainable" is the environmental movement - it has become so broadly used it has lost its "true" meaning


#2 ... It seems that our stubborn, pig-headed provincial government will fight this battle down to the last court of appeal, and or the last nickel in the provincial treasury

Ft St John resident Steve Thorlakson
And now we arrive at the story and commentary moist read over the past week ... this, is Number One ...

#1 ... The report also recommends developing policy and guidelines around all paid government advertising, with a system in place for frequent review and updating


Tomorrow starts a new week of commentaries, including one from Steve Thorlakson on “Grassroots Energy Prosperity” ... and we’ll also have part 4 of the series from Scott Anderson called “Climate Change and the Great Manure Crisis".

Enjoy your day ... and thank you for being a part of this journey on BC Politics and More.

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
