“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

’20 for 2020’ ... The carbon tax, which adds hundreds of dollars a year to the cost of living for each of us ... and untold thousands of dollars to BC businesses and industry ... must end


Today is day 16 in “20 for 2020” – are you having a snow day?

BC continues to be under a blanket of snow, with those in the lower mainland ... Vancouver Island ... and the Fraser Valley being told to stay the heck off the roads.  Seeing the mayhem on the TV news, it’s no wonder.

On top of the mounds of snow, there are also record, and near record, frigid temperatures occurring.

So, is all of this due to global warming?  Well that’s a loaded question and one that climate alarmists are likely trying to figure out an answer too.


Greenhouse gas level continue to rise world-wide, however some of the highest levels being created are due to countries thousands of kilometres away.

Does this mean that we don’t have a roll to play?   

Far from it – however we should not be penalizing our businesses and resource companies in Canada right out of business.

As Trevor Bolin of the BC Conservative Party stated back last April:


With record breaking fuel prices, skyrocketing grocery costs, and home heating bills at an all-time high ... British Columbians can not afford to live in BC ... let’s get B.C. back!


The carbon tax, which adds hundreds of dollars a year to the costs of living for each and every one of us ... and untold thousands of dollars to BC businesses and industry ... must end.


Instead of, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likes to say, “Putting a tax on pollution” better incentives need to be in place for developing and installing innovative technologies to reduce greenhouse gases.  And Canada should be at the forefront of creating those new technologies, to be able to export them to the world.

This and much more can be the way our province, and our country, can be leaders in creating a cleaner and healthier environment to live in.

And that’s it for today ... and now there are four days left in this series of “20 for 2020” – see you tomorrow.

#3 … there should be a full review of all license costs and fees, which the provincial government has imposed upon us, to see where and how they are being used







#13 ... This is NOT to reduce budgets for these three ministries, INSTEAD, it is to ensure what’s allocated provides BC residents the best services and education possible

#14 ... The public should be able to hold the BC Medical Association (and its members) accountable for their policies and practices

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

Poll finds ignorance regarding BC NDP decision to co-manage public lands with indigenous (Western Standard)

. . . . The poll allowed British Columbians to give weight to key priorities. More than half say that the respect for reconciliation and the leadership shown by the government in including indigenous partners in decisions are both important to them. That said, concerns about further complicating resource development (which already necessitates the consideration of indigenous peoples' interests in relevant regions) and economic risks, are equally weighted by the population. ARI also found there is a sense the consultation timeline has been rushed. One-quarter (26%) say the current timeline offered by the government is acceptable. But more disagree, including half (48%) who want to see more consultation, extending deliberations into the fall or later this year, and one-quarter (27%) who want to kill the proposed changes entirely . . . .
