“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.

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...
