“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

Did you notice why SNC-Lavalin withdrew from the bidding on these projects? It was due to a ... shift in its global corporate strategy to not participate in any fixed-price projects


On Wednesday, the BC government sent out a media release the updated shortlists updated for Broadway Subway and Pattullo Bridge projects on the lower mainland

Conceptual drawing to replace the Pattullo Bridge
The release stated that they had ... revised the list of pre-qualified bidding teams that have been invited to participate in the request for proposals (RFP) stage to design, build and finance the Broadway Subway project and the Pattullo Bridge Replacement project.

And the reason for this??  The darlings of Trudeau’s backyard in Quebec of course – SNC-Lavalin.

“The shortlists were revised after SNC-Lavalin withdrew from the procurement process for both projects due to a shift in its global corporate strategy to not participate in any fixed-price projects”.

SNC-Lavalin has received nothing but break after break from Liberal governments, and why? Because when they are in power, the Liberals need every seat in Quebec to remain there.

No matter Trudeau has said those several thousand jobs of SNC-Lavalin needing to be protected, while failing dismally as close to 100,00 jobs were lost in western Canada’s oil and resource sector, he knows the west doesn’t elect a majority of Liberal MPs, so those jobs are expendable.

BUT HERE’S THE KICKER!

Did you notice why SNC-Lavalin withdrew from the bidding on these projects?  It was due to ... a shift in its global corporate strategy to not participate in any fixed-price projects.

What does that say to you, because I know what it does to me?

It says they’re happy to bid on projects where they can just keep adding to costs when they’ve under-bid ... but where they have to give a static price?  Nope, not a chance.

Yes, these darling of Quebec seem to lead quite the entitled life ... meantime the west continues to send billions of dollars to Quebec by way of transfer payments, thanks to the current, and former, Liberal governments.

I hope you’ll keep that in mind on October 21st.

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
