“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

PECKFORD -- Now that he is going to stay, and not go to Barbados, what other ‘diction gems’ will be thrust upon us

Former Newfoundland Labrador
Premier Brian Peckford

Now we have it ...

... the answer was there all the time; ‘Infrastructure Disruptions’ and ‘Incident Response Team’

Sure ... how stupid are we?

Just call a committee (now there’s a Canadian word for you) an ‘Incident Response Team’, and the problem an ‘infrastructure disruption’, and presto, our protests and law breaking are almost over ... at least that’s what our Princeling (Justin Trudeau) is saying.

This is becoming so ridiculous, as the political correctness goes in overdrive. We have this excuse for a Prime Minister, who flies in from Senegal, to utter these words.

Now that he is going to stay, and not go to Barbados, what other ‘diction gems’ will be thrust upon us?  Our language will be greatly enhanced with his presence; you think?

Just ‘infrastructure disruptions’; is that right Mr. PM?

No, its not!


It is indigenous protests closing down large swaths of our railway system, and court injunctions being ignored, and announcements of people signalled to be laid off.

An ‘Incident Response Team’ ... can you believe it? Do you think ‘emergency’ should enter the picture? Perhaps even ‘crisis’?

Shouldn’t the full cabinet of the Government be involved? Or does the Cabinet really exist anymore, as it seems the Prime Ministers Office (PMO) rules everything these days.

Shouldn’t there be a designated debate in Parliament, about what’s happening in our country, as laws and injunctions are callously being violated?

Is this a Parliament Democracy?

Is this a representative and responsible form of Government?

One would think the lowly Members of Parliament from all sides of the House would get up enough courage to demand a debate in Parliament.

The week is not starting off very well.

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
