“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

Canada's Energy Citizens ... Have your say on Canada’s Energy Reduction Plan


After receiving over 20,000 submissions, the federal government extended the engagement period on Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) by a week. It now closes at 11:59 p.m. PST on January 21st.

 

The 2030 ERP will outline how the federal government plans to meet their goal – which was recently increased – to reducing Canadian emissions by 40-45% below 2005 levels by 2030. 


 Why was Canada’s target increased?

 

Because these consultations matter. 


 In March 2021, the government ran a similar engagement to help inform their more ambitious 2030 goals. And according to the government, of the ~1,100 people who responded, over 95% supported their more ambitious direction. Later in June, these targets were enshrined into law with passing of the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act. 


 This your chance to have your say on the future of Canada. 


 The government portal includes 6 questions for you to provide your opinions on. We have included our reflections on the questions posed in the link above – feel free to use our thoughts to help craft your own submissions. 


 It’s hard to understate just how impactful the ERP will be to every area of our economy. In addition to implementing a cap on natural gas and oil emissions, the plan will also outline new regulations for electricity, buildings, and agriculture, among others. 


 So, thank you for taking the time out of your day to make a submission on this page in support of a stronger Canada. Your voice matters.

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
