“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 July 21st to 27th


Welcome to Day Seven ... and the end of the week on a host of articles and opinion pieces that were shared this week. Forestry concerns have loomed large on the horizon all week, and that showed. with two of the ten spots being taken up with that.  What’s the right food to eat ... election expenses and more were also part of this weeks ten most read commentaries. 

And, we have the first, of what I hope will be many pieces, from legal expert and someone who has also been elected as a school trustee and city councillor -- John O’Fee.  Speaking of the name John, Mr. Twigg starts the week off in the Number Ten spot ... so let’s get underway.

And last stop, at the top ... here’s Number One from July 25th ...The reality is these 118 new buses are basically replacing existing ones which are now at the end of their life cycle - not actually increasing capacity


I hope you’ve enjoyed a pleasant week ... and I hope your Summer has been going well. Have a great day, and we’ll be back with a fresh batch of stories, opinions, and commentaries once again, starting tomorrow.

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: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red
