“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

MP McLeod -- Protecting our seniors should be the number one priority of this government. Especially given these recent Chinese events, we are now even more fearful for the privacy, data and care of our seniors

Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Yesterday (May 29th) Cathy McLeod, the Member of Parliament for Kamloops - Thompson - Cariboo, indicated that she has renewed serious concerns about the Chinese Government ownership of Retirement Concepts, including a local Kamloops seniors’ home.

“We have seen through recent events Justin Trudeau’s naiveté when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Government. Relations between the two countries is at an all-time low”

“Since the house arrest of Huawei’s CFO (Meng Wanzhou), we have had the Chinese government retaliate by arresting Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, two Canadian citizens who have been in Chinese custody since December, as well as the punishing actions of the Chinese to our canola and pork producers,” said McLeod.

“In a nut shell our working relationship with the Chinese government has never been this bad.”

Previously, MP McLeod had pushed the Liberal government, of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking how they could approve the purchase of our retirement seniors’ home for $1 billion to Anbang.  Following the purchase, it was then subsequently seized by Chinese authorities and the ownership transferred to the Chinese government.

“Protecting our seniors should be the number one priority of this government. Especially given these recent events, we are now even more fearful for the privacy, data and care of our seniors, given it is now in the hands of the Chinese government,” said McLeod. 

“I will be asking for reassurances from this government that our seniors are not put in a vulnerable position.”

NOTE:  The Chinese government took control of Anbang in February last year, part of a sweeping campaign to reduce financial risk. The former chairman of Anbang, Wu Xiaohui, was later sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Chinese court ~~ Insurance Journal / Reuters

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...
