“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 -- As China Passes Laws to Further Restrict Hong Kong ... we cozy up with them on the Wuhan Virus vaccine

I referenced this some weeks ago that Dalhousie University was teaming up with China on the development of a Wuhan virus vaccine. No one seems to care that much that we are still involved with the Chinese over things on which we still have control.

 

I mean how do you square that with the fact that the Government expresses its concern over the two Canadians still being held in jails in China on fabricated charges. Are we really being consistent here?

 

And now we hear of a new law by Chinese authorities that will further hamper Hong Kong’s freedom.

 

So, while we pretend support for our imprisoned Canadians, we continue expanding our involvement with China.

 

How about scholarships to a Canadian university for Chinese students. There is a $20,000 one at the University of Victoria for students from the East China Normal University, for example -- and bursaries for Chinese Students. Here is a direct quote from the University’s website:

 

A number of awards, which may vary annually, are available to students from the People’s Republic of China.’

 

Now before I am accused of racism let me say that under normal circumstances this would be wonderful —the cultural exchange etc. is what a university is about.

 

But when that country imprisons or makes disappear people who disagree with them ... isolates and discriminates their minorities ... restricts speech and freedom of the press ... has one party rule ... violates an agreement on Hong Kong ... broke international law in the South China Sea according to the International Court ... and then has a virus break out that they contain by disallowing travel within their own borders but simultaneously allows travel internationally ... then, I have a problem.

 

And apparently a fair amount of Chinese technology is already in our communications companies like Telus.

 

This is where the rubber hits the road.

 

Thankfully there was an extradition treaty with the United States regarding the Huawei executive (Meng Wanzhou) or who knows what would have happened?

 

So, are Canadians just seeing a game being played where ostensibly we are standing up the Chinese but in reality ——we are not?

 

It sure looks like it.

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

Long-time former BC Liberal supporter says, I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United

                              BC United leader Kevin Falcon I recently asked a political acquaintance of mine, about their current involvement with BC United.   I was much surprised with the response given the BC Liberals had been the recipient of a lot of their time and energy in the past. By request, their comments are posted anonymously : I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United. Kevin’s poor judgement in ousting John Rustad from Caucus, and then publicly humiliating him, might be the most inept thing I have seen in BC politics ... and I’ve been involved in BC politics for a number of years! I still think the impetus was John‘s involvement in the Ellis Ross leadership campaign for the BC Liberal Party, and how successful and respected (despite not winning) it was. I am uncertain about the tenor of the current Conservative movement in North America. The once proud Republican Party in the United States has allowed itself to be led by a person who is morally, intell
