“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

She's not afraid to speak out, and she says what many are thinking, which is why I hope she will indeed enter the race


In a news story in the Western Standard this morning, Calgary Nose Hill Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said  ... she plans to ask the leadership organizing committee to disqualify (Richard) Decarie.

If he had made those statements as a candidate during the federal election he would have been turfed, so why should he be allowed to run?” she said.

I for one believe this IS good news for the health, and the future, of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said to be concerned the West won’t be represented by those who are now in the running

As for possible plans to seek the leadership of the party by running as a candidate in the race to succeed Andrew Scheer?  Well Michelle Rempel is still playing her cards close.

In that same Western Standard news story, they stated she is ... still debating whether or not to join the federal Tory leadership race.  It also went on to say that she has ... concerns of the West won’t be represented by those who are now in the running.

I like Rempel ... and I think many in the west do as well ... however I’m not so sure of those east of the Saskatchewan / Manitoba border.

She's not afraid to speak out ... 


... and she says what many are thinking ... which is why I hope she will indeed enter the race.

I also have concerns about the ever-shrinking list of potential candidates now that both Pierre Poilievre (Conservative finance critic), and now retired former Interim Leader Rona Ambrose, have bowed out.

Given the popularity of Ambrose and Poilievre the $300,000 entry fee, to run for the leadership, likely had little to play in their decisions, but it may be impacting others who have been considering.

There’s one thing about this leadership race for me however ... I wish media would STOP bringing up Christy Clark's name, which just happened again, in of all places, an Alberta newspaper. They thought this just might be a good idea for the Conservative Party.

As far as I, and many others are concerned, she should stay retired!

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 . . . .
