“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

On this day, when so many people tragically died, Justin Trudeau is asking us to remember them ... all the while blotting that out by changing the focus to his re-election bid


TODAY Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the beginning of an election campaign to elect members of parliament who will represent us in the 43rd Parliament.

Personally, I do not believe that he, nor his government, should be re-elected -- for some incomprehensible reason, he has made multiple mistakes, he has come under scrutiny for ethics violations, and for reasons totally confusing to me, he seems unable to understand that things are not always about him.

Take the date the election has been called – 9 / 11. On this very day he also sent out a statement declaring, in part:

Today, on the 18th anniversary of this tragedy, we remember the nearly 3,000 victims of the attacks, which included 24 Canadians. We offer our condolences to those who continue to grieve their lost loved ones.

We also pay tribute to the courage, perseverance, and sacrifice of the brave first responders, including the hundreds who lost their lives. Surrounded by destruction and debris, firefighters, police officers, military personnel, and ordinary people raced up the steps of the collapsing towers to rescue survivors, and fought for days to extinguish flames at the Pentagon.

On behalf of the Government of Canada, I encourage Canadians to honour those who lost their lives, and all those who selflessly offered their help to others on 9/11

On this day, when so many people tragically died, he asks us to remember them, all the while blotting that out by changing the focus to his re-election bid.

That’s where the focus of today will be directed instead ... and that was deliberate.

No there’s nothing selfless about that Mr. Trudeau, and to me, just ONE reason why you do not deserve to be re-elected ... however that will be for the people of Canada to decide over the next six weeks. 

Just eight days ago I wrote a commentary entitled, “In the words of Justin Trudeau...”

If you want any more reason for his government not to be returned on October 21st, I invite you to re-read, or perhaps read for the first time, this commentary.

 “...Canadians have an important choice to make”, Trudeau stated this morning.  He then went on to say, "We've done a lot together these past four years, but the truth is, we're just getting started”.

As you reflect over the past four years of Justin Trudeau's Liberal government, I encourage consider his words  Telling me that he’s ‘just getting started’ does not bring confidence to me, nor should it, I hope, to the majority of Canadians when they cast their ballot on election day.

FORSETH -- If having three un-happy MLA’s leave the party, is what it takes to have unity within caucus, then I say, “Fine; let it be so”

Regrettably, in recent days, issues within the Conservative Party of BC have come to the surface resulting in one member being removed from Caucus (Dallas Brodie) and the party, and two others (Tara Armstrong and Jordan Kealy) leaving of their own accord. As of this morning (Saturday March 8th) all three are now sitting as independents in the BC legislature. So, what does that mean? In the last twenty-four hours social media feeds have lit up with support for leader John Rustad, while others have been negative, accusing the party, and Rustad, of being bullies and not standing up for conservative values. Ryan Painter, who has personally worked with John Rustad, had this to say: Since the beginning, he's had one target: the BC NDP. He knows that British Columbians deserve a government that works for them, delivers on their promises, and doesn't tax them into poverty. He believes in his team and the power of a focused opposition. He knows who the enemy is. He knows BC deserves ...

WARD STAMER: “Hopefully he’s actually listening to what people have to say, and not just showing up for a photo op”

In his latest travels across the province, BC Forest Minister Ravi Parmar touched down in the Okanagan. A trip essentially, he said, to be on the ground meeting industry people. I read what he had to say, and about how he has been tasked with getting more timber to market. Let me start by saying, “ He hasn’t been tasked. He and Premier Eby guaranteed 45 million cubic metres of available wood fibre – they guaranteed that .” BC Timber Sales is a government agency within the provincial forest’s ministry, which is responsible for managing a portion of the province's Crown timber; specifically, 20 percent of the province's annual allowable cut. Unfortunately, BC Timber Sales did not provide anywhere near that amount last year, it was just 12.2 percent. Three years ago, BC mills cut 52 million metres of wood, bringing in nearly $2 billion dollars to the provincial treasury. That figure doesn’t include the taxes from 55,700 people directly employed in the industry, nor from the tens o...

Conservative Opposition demonstrates focused and policy-oriented approach in first four weeks of the legislative session

In the first four weeks of the legislative session, the Conservative Official Opposition has scored significant policy wins as it proves every day that the Conservative team has fresh ideas and real-world experience to bring to the table. At the same time, the NDP government has been listless, struggling to find a policy agenda that addresses the problems that British Columbians are facing. “This NDP government led by David Eby has tried to do everything under the sun to distract from their disastrous fiscal record and the fact that they are utterly out of ideas,” said Conservative Opposition Leader John Rustad. “They’ve tried to use the U.S. President to deflect from their eye-popping $11 billion deficit, the worst business confidence in the country, and the fact that they’ve created almost zero private sector jobs. This is no way to run a province or an economy.” Since the legislative session started on February 18th with the Throne Speech, the opposition...
