“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

Time and again, a clear majority of Canadians have said they want new pipelines built in Canada. This is why we’d like to say thank you to Canada’s senators for doing the right thing


On May 30th, Canadian Senators voted to accept comprehensive amendments to Bill C-69.

With all these amendments, Bill C-69 would ensure a timely and effective approval process.  Without them, it will send a troubling message that Canada is a place not interested in getting big projects, like pipelines, built.

In a statement from Canada’s Energy Citizens, they made it known that, “Based on the feedback they received, members of the Senate’s Energy and Environment Committee made several amendments to Bill C-69 – ensuring the bill provides a workable regulatory process for major projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline”.

“When someone does the right thing, it’s important that be recognized. This is why we’d like to say thank you to Canada’s senators for the tremendous job they did listening to the concerns of tens of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast to coast with Bill C-69 and what this devastating legislation will do to families and the future of our country”.

The bill will now be voted on a final time by senators in third reading and it will then be up to the federal cabinet and government to decide whether they’ll accept or reject the amendments.

“We believe Canadians have been clear on Bill C-69. A multi-partisan consensus of premiers across the country, from Alberta, to Ontario, to Newfoundland and Labrador, told the Senate an unchanged Bill C-69 would do damage to our economy”, stated Canada’s Energy Citizens.

Time and time again when asked, a clear majority of Canadians have said they want new pipelines built in Canada. In January, six in ten Canadians called a lack of pipeline capacity a crisis.   


Now it’s time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government to listen, and accept the work of Canada’s Senators.

Canada’s Energy Citizens are asking you to write to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and his government,  and demand that they accept the Senate’s amendments.

Sincerely,
Canada's Energy Citizens

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...
