“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 )

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
