“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.

RCMP gag order comes after BC NDP catch heat for diverted safe supply (Northern Beat)

In the wake of several high-profile police drug seizures of suspected safer supply that put the BC NDP government on the defensive last month, BC RCMP “E” division issued a gag order on detachments, directing them to run all communications on “hot button” public safety issues through headquarters in the lead-up to the provincial election. “It is very clear we are in a pre-election time period and the topic of ‘public safety’ is very much an issue that governments and voters are discussing,” writes a senior RCMP communications official in an email dated Mar. 11 in what appears to have gone out to all BC RCMP detachments . . . .

KRUGELL: BC NDP turns its attention from BC United to BC Conservatives

The BC NDP turning its attention, from BC United, to BC Conservatives was reported over the weekend from a variety of sources. It is the result of the surge in the BC Conservative's polling numbers and the subsequent collapse of BC United. The NDP has largely ignored the BC Conservatives, instead they opt to talk about issues directly or attack their old foes BC United. Practical politics says that parties closer to the centre tend to ultimately prevail over the long haul. They do wane but often make comebacks. A good example is the federal Liberals going from third party to government in 2015. Centrism has a lot of appeal on voting day. The NDP shifting its fire from United to Conservative is a reflection of reality. BC United did buy advertising online and radio over the last few months. Did that shift the polls back to them? Nope. The reality is today, the BC Conservatives are the party of the Opposition, and day by day the Conservatives are looking like a party not ready to fig

Baldrey: 2024 meets 1991? How B.C. election history could repeat itself (Times Colonist)

NOTE ... not the original image from Keith Baldrey's op/ed 1991 BC general election -- Wikipedia   A veteran NDP cabinet minister stopped me in the legislature hallway last week and revealed what he thinks is the biggest vulnerability facing his government in the fall provincial election. It’s not housing, health care, affordability or any of the other hot button issues identified by pollsters. "I think we are way too complacent,” he told me. “Too many people on our side think winning elections are easy.” He referenced the 1991 election campaign as something that could repeat itself. What was supposed to be an easy NDP victory then almost turned into an upset win for the fledgling BC Liberal Party. Indeed, the parallels between that campaign and the coming fall contest are striking ... CLICK HERE for the full story
