“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

Their guns are purchased for one reason, and one reason only -- GREED!



On January 15th an innocent young teenager, from Coquitlam, died after being hit be a stray bullet, shot by a cold-hearted callous and uncaring thug.

This teen, was simply headed home after dinner out with his family.

Vancouver Police Chief Adam Palmer, in an interview with the Sun, stated:
“My heart goes out to the family of the 15-year-old boy. They were having a normal Saturday night evening out with family and now they are grieving for their son,” Palmer said. “My message to the family is this: we will not ever be able to fully comprehend your grief, but the Vancouver Police Department will do whatever it takes to seek justice for your son.”

Following the outrageous and senseless death of this young teen, someone whom I will choose to call insensitive (at least by my standards), decided to post this comment on Twitter:


To this, I replied:


BULLSHIT. There's one hell of a difference between legal guns, 
and assholes that don't give a shit whether someone innocent 
is injured or killed.  Let's have a return of the death sentence 
return, OR let's make a life sentence what it's called?

I know the do-gooders will never allow the return of the death sentence, however, maybe it should be considered in cases like this ... or when a police office is shot and killed in the line of duty ... or when an expectant mother is murdered.

At the very least, shouldn't a Life Sentence be exactly what it is called.  You are sentenced to remain in prison for the rest of of your life.  Period!

In the past couple of years, from Vancouver,to Surrey, to Abbotsford ... and now more and more in the interior of BC, there have been gang wars. 

Gang wars that are being settled with guns.

By creeps and jerks who don't care in the least who may be hit by stray bullets.

Their guns are purchased for one reason, and one reason only -- GREED!

These gund, despite what those wanting a clamp down of guns say, have NOT been purchased legally; nor are they, or have they ever been, registered.

Always Vote (@always_Vote), your comments on Twitter the other day shows the complete lack of knowledge that you have when it comes to guns.  It likely also is indicative of those with thoughts like our Sunny Ways Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who never met a gun he he didn't think should be registered.

Rather than stirring up the pot again with gun control talk, can we instead actually consider a course of action that just might at least cut down on the violence?

MAKE A LIFE SENTENCE, A LIFE SENTENCE!

I'm Alan Forseth in Kamloops, and the floor is now yours to share your thoughts.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...
