“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!

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 . . . .

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

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
