“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

DEVON KRUGGEL: Rachael Gilmore debunks a right wing piece of fake news

I'll let Ms. Gilmore do most of the talking as her piece is excellent. Just to make it clear: she is an actual investigate journalist with accreditation and real training. She is not some citizen journalist. She went to school. She works in the field. As mentioned, she has press credentials which means she actually gets access to media rooms, conferences, press galleys, etc where real journalists can ask questions. Citizens journalists do not do that nor can they. Unlike journalists and the accredited media, people that produce non-news television programs and movies aren't held to the same standards when it comes to bias. Mr. Mastin's job and that of the CMPA is to lobby governments in Canada for monetary support for local productions. To sum up the issue first. Conservative influencers and some elected Conservatives shared a screen shot with the words "we have your back" claiming this came from the news media to Mark Carney and the Liberals. Their claim was ...

Advisory Committee Won’t Stop Extortion Without Arrests, Jail Time, and Deportations

The BC NDP government has failed to address extortion in British Columbia with the urgency it has demanded from day one, say Conservative Interim Leader Trevor Halford and Steve Kooner Critic for Attorney General, responding to Premier David Eby’s announcement of a new provincial advisory group. “Communities have been calling for action for nearly a year,” said Halford. “Business owners, families, and workers have been living in fear while the NDP failed to provide the resources necessary to confront these brazen acts of violence.” Halford noted that it took the City of Surrey publicly calling on the federal government to declare a federal emergency before the NDP finally moved to get more boots on the ground. “Leadership is not reacting after the damage is already done, it’s preventing harm before communities are pushed to the breaking point,” he said. The Premier has now committed to ‘listening’ to the community, but Halford said that commitment comes far too late. “They should have ...

FORSETH: The page has disappeared and can no longer be found, but before it did, this is what caught my attention

LET'S TAKE A LOOK BACK IN OUR HANDY-DANDY TIME MACHINE: An April 5 th , 2017 Vancouver Sun article was headlined, “ BC Liberals, NDP spar over cash-for-access fundraising ”  The story began:   The BC Liberal party is attempting a political counter punch at the NDP on the issue of cash-for-access events after learning NDP leader John Horgan is expected to attend a $1,000-per-ticket reception scheduled for April 18. On Wednesday, the Liberals released a leaked email from an NDP fundraiser inviting people to a reception at Hawksworth Restaurant in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia hosted by Gary Jackson, president of cannabis-packaging company CannaPack Solutions, with early-bird tickets selling for $500 if attendees buy before April 10. In the email, the event is billed as “an unparalleled opportunity to discuss the issues relating to what the future holds for the production, sale and distribution of marijuana in British Columbia.” The event demonstrates...

FORSETH: “I think I define kind of what a modern conservative is. Ground up, boots on the ground, strong fiscal position”, Yuri Fulmer

On Saturday January 31 st , I had the opportunity to speak with Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate Yuri Fulmer. The following is part of the discussion we had which began with me asking him what defined a conservative.   YURI: I think that days of purity tests are all over. We all have a view on a bunch of different issues. I would be a staunch fiscal conservative ... because I believe in small government. I believe in less government in my life, less government in my home, and less government regulation, other than to protect British governments. I believe in a balanced budget. I believe in growing the economy. So, I don't know; does that make me a fiscal conservative? I know what I believe, and I try not to pigeon-hole people along the way. I think we all have diverse beliefs. I think for the conservative party to be successful, we have to include everybody that’s a right of center thinker. But if we don't open the tent, let's call it the big blue tent, ...
