“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

Heaven help us! Christy Clark is 'not scared of Donald Trump' ... and she's 'not scared of the rich American union leaders'



The other day, a friend posted a comment to something I had shared online.   

They asked, "Why do politicians feel like they need to dress up when in photo ops?  The kind of dress up that I guess is supposed to say Look at me. I'm just like you"

Well Christy Clark is NOT just like me ... or the majority of British Columbians ... and she really hasn't had to worry much about getting the kind of job the rest of British Columbians struggle to find; one where they can raise a family, and send their children to schools of higher education.

I find her expensive photo ops, where she show up with her phony beaming smile, to be galling.

Which is why at another one of her recent hard hat / safety vest events, in Quesnel this past Friday (April 21st) I found her comments to be irresponsible, or at the very least, careless.  Here's what she had to say:


"I'm not scared of Donald Trump and I'm not scared of the rich American union leaders."

She went on to say, "We are going to fight and we are going to fight to make sure that the workers here at West Fraser, the workers at Tolko and the workers at sawmills across this province get a fair deal." 

She might not be scared, but she should be ... and sawmill workers across the province should be nervous as well.

After all, the Softwood Lumber Agreement expired TWO YEARS AGO.  Now, with the provincial election campaign well underway, she is suddenly the champion of workers at BC's sawmills.

Where has she been on this file, that impacts thousands of hard working British Columbians, during the past twenty-four months?

Last time around the United States government imposed billions in penalties to the softwood industry ... and those penalties cost the jobs of FIFTEEN THOUSAND British Columbians. (total taken in tariffs / penalties was $5.3 billion, of which $4.1 was eventually returned).

Have no fear ... Captain Hardhat is on duty, and all alone she will go up against the evil forces of Captain Tantastic as he attempts a Trumptastrophe on BC's forest industry.

While Photo Op's appear to be her specialty, along with B---S---ing the people of BC with phony balanced budgets, she is racking up tens of billions in added debt.  And that's ANOTHER big worry in this issue. 

Twenty Seven Percent (27%) of our provincial debt is at a floating rate.  And don't think a big kick in BC's forest industry won't ratchet up interest rates on our debt. 

Last year fiscal year alone, the cost just to service BC's debt was TWO POINT THREE BILLION DOLLARS.

Captain Hardhat ignores this, and other perils ahead, as she shrugs them off and says ... "Don't Worry -- Be Happy".

Maybe that's why Moe Sihota was quoted in a recent article in the Vancouver Sun saying that he, "... forecasts Clark’s defeat in the next election because of what he sees as the weaknesses of her and her party: arrogance, superficiality, and a tendency to underestimate ..."

Potential disaster might be just around the corner but fear not.  Christy is not 'scared of Donald Trump' ... and she's 'not scared of the rich American union leaders.'

Heaven help us!

In Kamloops, I'm Alan Forseth.

Budget 2027: After a Decade of Decline, NDP Budget Delivers an Assault on Seniors, Working Families, and Small Businesses

Peter Milobar, BC Conservative Finance Critic, condemned the NDP government’s latest budget as the result of a decade of decline that has left British Columbians broke, unsafe, and paying more for less.   “After ten years of NDP mismanagement, this budget is an assault on seniors, working families, and the small businesses that drive our economy,” said Milobar. “The NDP have turned their back on the people working hardest to make ends meet and the seniors who built this province.” Milobar pointed to a new $1.1 billion annual income tax increase and warned that the government is piling new costs onto households already struggling with affordability.   “This government keeps asking British Columbians for more, while delivering less,” Milobar said. “The question people are asking is simple: Where has all the money gone?” Milobar noted that BC has gone from a surplus in the first year of NDP government to a projected deficit of more than $13 billion this year, while prov...

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 ...

FORSETH -- Before anyone gets excited about one poll showing a candidate with a 25 percent lead, and 44 percent support overall, let’s give it a few more weeks

Is this based in reality -- how accurate are the numbers? In the past couple of weeks a couple of candidates, for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party, have been presenting polling results that they lead the pack – one even going so far as to say they have a lock on 44% of those who will be voting, and a twenty-five percent lead over the individual ranked second. I am going to say that this one, from Kerry-Lynne Findlay, is highly suspect. First of all the company conducting the poll, ERG National Research, is not a Member of Industry Bodies (the Canadian Research Insights Council), meaning they do not adhere to established industry standards for research, such as transparency, privacy, and methodological rigor. AI Overview states that ... based on alerts from the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and reports, ERG National Research should be treated with extreme caution regarding its reliability, and legitimacy, in conducting political polling. Before I even read this in...
