“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

Stephen Harper's Conservative are the new Borg Collective ... "We are the Conservatives ... we are the Borg ... resistance is futile"



Those of you who are Trekies, and watched Star Trek Next Generation, and Star Trek Voyager, the following phrase can be uttered by heart:

"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
 
To those suffering from Harper Derangement Syndrome (HDS), and spewing all kinds of factless, and baseless, allegations over how the Conservative government is taking over every aspect of our lives (and somehow forcing a hidden agenda on everyone), this must be an apt description for them, of the Conservative Party of Canada.

In an article in the Vancouver Sun several days ago, Lorne Gunter is acknowledged in first identifying HDS. He described it as, “an ideological hatred of Prime Minister Stephen Harper that is so acute its sufferers’ ability to reason logically is impaired.”

The article went on to say:
An early example of HDS was the widespread attribution by academics and journalists of a “hidden agenda” to Harper and his party.

This has been based on allegations that:
- the Conservative government has drastically reduced funding to the CBC
- they were forcing a pro-life agenda on the country (despite Harper clearly stating time and time again this would NOT be part of any legislation brought forward
- Tony Burman wrote a story for The Star with a headline claiming Harper was a bigger threat than the Islamic State. Why? Because Harper exaggerated the terrorist threat so as to “distract voters” from climate change
- the Conservatives were going expand private health care services (this one has been floating around now (this ones been around for years, with still NO Sign of it happening, yet it has resurfaced again in recent days by THOMAS Mulcair)
- Harper has cut funding to health care, when in fact it has done nothing but increase year after year

Oh, and we can't forget that the Harper government is bound and intent on being a warmonger nation; and reasoning for that of course is for joining with numerous countries to try and halt the murderous forward assault by ISIS.  Yes that wonderful group of Boy Scouts out to free citizens in middle east countries, from their ill conceived and false religious ideas.  Yes, those folks who are simply trying to live their lives in peace.


Justin Trudeau's solutions is for everyone to join hands and sing Kumbaya (or whatever the radical Islamic version of the song is), while Mulcair simply says he will pull our Canadian Forces out of the region.

The latest alleged assault by Harper, by those suffering from HDS, is regarding the debate on the Niqab.  Despite the fact that the Niqab is indeed rooted in a culture that is anti-women, the government is in fact in no way forcing women to give up the niqab in public, ONLY in Citizenship ceremonies.

AND YET the Conservatives, and Stephen Harper, are being railed against for forcing their personal views (hidden agenda?) on women.  What an asinine statement of misinformation, and feverish frothing at the mouth, by the liberal and left-leaning elitists!

Yes ... according to them the Stephen Harper Conservatives are the new Borg Collective ... We are the Conservatives ... we are the Borg ... resistance is futile.

Well NOT apparently to the majority of Canadians ... at least on this issue.

Still ... there is NO hidden agenda ... there hasn't been one from the start ... and there is no sign of one showing up any sign soon.

In closing today, let's go back to Star Trek and one of its fans favorite characters ... Spock ... who said, "Live long and prosper", to which I will add, with of course a Conservative government led by Stephen Harper.

I'm Alan Forseth in Kamloops, and I welcome any thoughts you might have on this.

    Harper is currently conducting an all out assault on the Canadian public health care system.

    He currently has allies in government; Kenney in Alberta, Moe in Saskatchewan, & Ford in Ontario.

    All produce inflammatory (almost always sophistry in nature) rhetoric aimed at the Prime Minister.

    So effective is this campaign that many physical signs appear in Western Canada denigrating the Prime Minister with the words, "Fuck Trudeau" or just the Trudeau name with the "middle finger".

    Most disgusting is this modus operandi by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

      Given Stephen Harper has not been Prime Minister since the 2015 federal election, I find your comments to be very confusing. Would you care to elaborate on how Stephen Harper is some how involved in the anger towards Trudeau (some of which IMHO, but not all, is well placed )

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
