“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

BRIAN PECKFORD – Can’t we have a cleaner more honest international effort?

Patty Hajdu -- Canada's
Health Minister

My God ... Our Health Minister (Patty Hajdu), Our Government

On CTV Power Play, host Evan Solomon asked Minister Hajdu some good questions.

Would her Government join US and Australia to investigate the relationship between China and the World Health Organization (WHO)?

She did not answer —she fudged it.

The Canadian Government will not criticize China, or the World Health Organization!

You can send us the virus, then send us defective personal protective equipment (PPE) to battle it, cozying up to WHO — but that’s not a problem. We won’t criticize this Communist state.

I guess given the Federal Government efforts not to meet Parliament, it should not be surprising that they have no problems supporting an autocratic state.

The Minister says we have to have an international effort.  Oh, the great straw man -- nobody says we don’t need an international effort, but does it have to be a corrupted WHO that is Chinese centric, that got it wrong on person to person transmission.

Can’t we have a cleaner more honest international effort?

How embarrassing to many Canadians that we have a Federal Government that will not even criticize a corrupt Communist State. I just have a hard time getting my head around this attitude. There are two Canadians in jail right now in China, on trumped up charges.


Oh, yes, Australia has criticized China -- and the World Health Organization -- and want an investigation.

What happened? China is now threatening Australia and will retaliate in trade. So, Canada is scared, and prepared to be bullied by tyrants.

Spineless Europe has already backed down ——

Is this my Country?

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
