FELDSTED: Censorship is far worse than hypocrisy, it is a direct attack on our fundamental, charter protected freedoms


Trudeau accuses Tories of ‘playing politics’ over Tori Stafford murder
By Alex Boutilier  ~~  Ottawa Bureau  ~~  Wed., Sept. 26, 2018

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Conservatives of using the 2009 murder of Tori Stafford to “play politics” Wednesday, as opposition MPs repeatedly attacked a government decision to move one of the girl’s killers to a healing lodge.

In a tense debate in the House of Commons, the Conservatives grilled the government over a decision by Correctional Services Canada to move Terri-Lynne McClintic from a prison to the Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge last December …

… in what NDP MP Sheila Malcolmson described as “sickening” exploitation, several Conservative MPs read graphic details of the case into the record. After multiple rounds of questioning, Conservative justice critic Tony Clement described in detail how McClintic took part’s in Tori’s kidnapping, sexual assault and murder.

…  Nicholson dismissed the Liberals’ criticism that opposition members were using a child’s murder to score political points.

“I think my colleagues who asked those questions are on the side of the family here,” Nicholson said outside the House of Commons.

This is typical government reaction to valid criticism - shut down the dialogue -- change the narrative.


Terri-Lynne McClintic another camera caught her
her perusing the aisles and buying the hammer,
the murder weapon
The problem is not spelling out the horrors of the crime; the problem is that a criminal convicted of a heinous crime is receiving leniency in administration of her sentence.


Ms. McClintic remains in the witness stand, a curiously matronly figure for a 21-year-old who has claimed to have smashed the child in the head with a hammer … once inside, of course, another camera caught her perusing the aisles and buying the hammer, the murder weapon …
NATIONAL POST – March 14th, 2012

Trudeau and company cannot withstand the criticisms they freely heap on everyone else.

Censorship is far worse than hypocrisy. It is a direct attack on our fundamental, charter protected freedoms.

Government cannot dictate what issues may be debated or how those issues will be addressed. That is censorship.

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
