“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

We gave $10 million to a tried, convicted, and imprisoned terrorist. After being destroyed by his own government, how much are we going to give to Mark Norman, who spent decades serving his country?

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

On April 9th the House voted on our Conservative motion to support Vice-Admiral Mark Norman”, commented Conservative MP Dan Albas.  The NDP joined with us in voting yes”.

Meantime, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau whipped his Liberal caucus to vote no on the conservative motion ... “Some Liberal MPs were conspicuously absent for this vote, despite having just been in their seats for the vote prior”.

Watching the actions of Justin Trudeau’s government ... the actions of the PMO’s Office ... and those of the Privy Council, in recent months, including the smearing of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, I want to say, “We can't get rid of Trudeau The Hypocrite soon enough”.

Given the way he treats people, I have to believe he has no conscience, no scruples, and no understanding of the chaos he creates all around him.

Two and a half years ago Norman was given the role of Vice Chief of Canada’s Defense staff ... then on January of 2017 he was temporarily removed form that post ... and six months later permanently removed.

As many will recall, that removal was based on allegations that he had released government information that might affect the procurement of naval supply ships, which potentially constituted a breach of trust. 

Today, a story in the National Post this morning indicated that ... the newly exonerated Vice-Admiral Mark Norman says he was alarmed by the persistent belief among senior government officials that he was guilty, and that their false assumptions took a significant financial and emotional toll on him and on his family.

Meantime the Globe and Mail stated that if the trial had gone ahead, it would have ... likely featured potentially damaging evidence and testimony for the Liberal government. After coming to power in October, 2015, the Liberal cabinet temporarily put the contract with the Davie shipyard in Quebec on hold ... Norman’s defence team has struggled through a series of pretrial motions to obtain access to classified documents from the government, sparking accusations in the House of Commons that the Liberals were hiding key information related to the case ...

Hide, deflect, smear, intimidation, insert innuendo and doubt into the minds of Canadians.  That seems to be the Trudeau way given what has happened not just in former Vice-Admiral Mark Norman’s case ... but also in the case of Jody Wilson-Raybould, and others.

Foresight perhaps that a reporter noted that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 2017 Canada Day comment that ... “We are strong not in spite of our differences, but because of them ... should have instead been ... “We are stronger not because of our differences, but because we extinguish them”.

On Facebook today (May 8th), Sean Smith commented that Admiral Norman ... was basically wrongfully accused, his reputation dragged through the mud, his career in ruins, his personal finances depleted in his defence......all because of a political party was looking for a way to deflect attention away from some of their questionable procurement processes.


Smith continued, “If we are giving $10 Million to a convicted terrorist who was tried and imprisoned by another country, how much are we going to give to a Canadian Citizen (who spent decades serving his country in the Canadian Forces) for being destroyed by his own government?

Today as well, Central Okanagan - Similkameen – Nicola MP Dan Albas asked two questions:

1) Was there political pressure from PMO to drop this case?
2) What tipped the scale? Was it pure political optics, or did the government learn something that blew up their case?

Either way, Vice Admiral Mark Norman’s legal fees should be covered by the
government”, Albas stated.

From the sponsorship / Shawinigate / ad-scam scandal of the Jean Chretien government ... to Justin’s own father, Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau who in the opinion of many was extremely arrogant, who caused the frustration of Western Canada due to his centralization of power in Ottawa, along with his much-hated National Energy program ... the Liberal Party of Canada seems to abound with self-righteousness and under-handedness.

That self-righteousness has led consecutive Liberal governments to force MPS to simply act as seals in Parliament, and saying “YES” (at least until recently), to every motion brought forward by government.

It has caused them to hide and deflect issues that Canadians would be dismayed to know ... and which have once uncovered -- it’s allowed them to run up debt to levels that no one could ever imagine. -- and it will bring the government of Justin Trudeau to its knees when it is kicked out of power following the up-coming general election in October.

A New York Times Editorial in 2005 remarked that, “When power and leadership come to politician’s incapable of handling either, the results can be disastrous”.

History will show that the second go-round of Trudeaumania, through Justin, will indeed be disastrous.  Let history not also show that we as Canadians, gave him a second term in office.

PEATS: I am writing with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community

The following is a copy of a letter sent to me, which was sent to BC’s Minister of Health Adrian Dix. It is with regards to the impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic in Dawson Creek.   Dear Minister,   I am writing to you today with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community. The closure, scheduled for the summer of 2024, is a result of the utterly burdensome terms and conditions imposed by the bureaucratic Northern Health. As a result, Dawson Creek stands to lose four doctors who have made this city their home, and who wish to continue serving the people of our community.   The impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic is a significant blow to our city. Not only will it result in the loss of highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals, but it will also deprive thousands of Dawson Creek residents of access to their primary physicians. At a time when healthcare se

Selina Robinson: "You broke my heart . . ." (The Real Story)

The mildly Zionist, innocuously leftish and now ousted advanced education minister’s letter to her New Democratic Party caucus colleagues, explaining why she has resigned the caucus to sit as an independent. The letter is an historic document, an artifact of the disgraceful cultural moment we’re living through. It’s important. It’s also a scorcher. It’s gathering a heck of a lot of attention . I’m printing it in full here. I’ve been insisting that what happened to Robinson is a much bigger deal and a completely different story than the one we’d all been led to believe. The necessary background: My piece in the National Post: The despicable untruths behind Selina Robinson's political lynching . More importantly , a Real Story investigation: The Problem With The Selina Robinson Story. . . It wasn't true. What follows is the story of what really happened. Let’s just get into it. Apart from punctuation and spelling I replicate the letter faithfully, with some further comm

Long-time former BC Liberal supporter says, I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United

                              BC United leader Kevin Falcon I recently asked a political acquaintance of mine, about their current involvement with BC United.   I was much surprised with the response given the BC Liberals had been the recipient of a lot of their time and energy in the past. By request, their comments are posted anonymously : I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United. Kevin’s poor judgement in ousting John Rustad from Caucus, and then publicly humiliating him, might be the most inept thing I have seen in BC politics ... and I’ve been involved in BC politics for a number of years! I still think the impetus was John‘s involvement in the Ellis Ross leadership campaign for the BC Liberal Party, and how successful and respected (despite not winning) it was. I am uncertain about the tenor of the current Conservative movement in North America. The once proud Republican Party in the United States has allowed itself to be led by a person who is morally, intell
