“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

WUN FEATHER -- That is the only form of gun control that I need

Wun Feather in 1967 at the Good
Hope Lake Reserve near Cassiar
I want my friends to know that as a hunter and trapper, I really don't need a semi-automatic firearm.


If you look through my photos, you will see that I like the old fashioned "bush guns", like the lever action.


In fact, because I walk in some very dangerous forests with lots of trees laying down, I usually leave my rifle empty until I need to shoot it. Then I open the chamber, and slide one round in, aim very carefully, and squeeze the trigger gently.


That is the only form of gun control that I need.


Just because I use my old Winchester 30-30 for hunting, I have absolutely no right to dictate to any other firearm owner what they should use their guns for.


Some people want to take their husband's or wives and children to the gun range, and shoot at targets all weekend.


Some want to shoot their shotgun pellets at clay targets that are flying through the air.


Other people compete in IPSIC or whatever those marksman competitions are called.


I don't know about those, but I can tell you that this recent firearm grab that Justin Trudeau has forced on Canadians, is way more than a firearms issue. It is a dictatorship issue.


If Trudeau can just take away legally purchased firearms from legitimate gun owners, what is next on his agenda?


Have we reached a point in society where ONE man has the right to pass a law that affects 32 million citizens without any parliamentary procedures?


If so, when did our country become a dictatorship, and are we no longer living in a democratic society?

Just asking ...

 

About Wun Feather ...  I am one of the last of my generation to have actually attended residential and Indian day schools. I have lived on and off reserve, and have seen the benefits and the hardships of my people in both situations. My parents taught me that any time I fell down physically, or emotionally, I just needed to pick myself up, shake myself off, and continue in a forward direction. So, I cannot claim that I did it on my own; I had great Elders.

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

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
