“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

FELDSTED: When climate change organizers advocate treason by removing our right to be governed by elected representatives in a constitutional monarchy, they go too far


Canada Should Be Legally Bound to Its Climate Promises -- passing the 2009 Climate Change Accountability Act could close the gap between our country's ambitions and its actions.   
Cameron Fenton  ~~  350.org  / Huffington Post ~~  10/30/2018


During the recent House of Commons emergency climate debate, spurred by an alarming new UN climate change report, there were many politicians talking about the need for Canada to rise to the challenge of climate change. Many of these same politicians acknowledged that, right now, Canada's policies aren't enough to line up with what scientists are saying we need to do.

… it reminded me of the last time I was in the House of Commons watching Question Period. I was there supporting legislation that, if brought back, could close the gap between Canada's climate promises and our climate policy.

… I was in the House of Commons gallery with around 100 other young people from all across Canada … hundreds of youth from across the country had come to the nation's capital to rally for climate action — would spark some action from our elected leaders.

It didn't. Question Period droned on as if we weren't there, as if the Copenhagen climate summit wasn't a few weeks away and as if the existential threat of a scorched earth wasn't waiting in the wings.

Eventually, a few among us got fed up and started chanting … calling for the passage of Bill C-311, known as the Climate Change Accountability Act.



Mr. Fenton is entitled to his opinion, but he is must not to attack the constitutional sovereignty of Canada. Our elected representatives in Parliament cannot be bound by an agreement sponsored by the United Nations or any of its agencies. The Paris Agreement is a stack of useless verbiage.  

If he had bothered to read the text of the Paris agreement, he would discover that the agreement does not apply to all world nations and that there is no penalty for a nation that fails to meet agreement carbon emission targets. 


He should know that the world’s largest carbon emitter, China, has stated that it will continue to increase emissions until 2022 and may then act to reduce emissions. He should know that the USA, who did not sign on to the Paris Agreement has substantially reduced emissions by changing from coal to gas fired electrical generating plants.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) speculates that a reduction in airborne carbon dioxide may reduce the rate of global warming but has no proof that it will happen. The 31 computer models used to generate future global temperatures are all government owned and produce the results that government demand.

So far, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) temperature predictions are wildly above real, observed temperatures. That is because the forecasting models have been tweaked to produce the results that those in charge expect. Temperature changes since 1800 have been very modest – about 0.90 C.

When climate change organizers advocate treason by removing our right to be governed by elected representatives in a constitutional monarchy, they go too far. We must never allow the United Nations of one of their multitudes of agencies and departments to set parameters for our governance.

We are a free people and will not bend to the demands of global warming lunatics.

Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper to step down for Conservative Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to run in a by-election

Deputy Whip and MLA Reann Gasper has informed the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia of her decision to step down as MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, creating an opportunity for Conservative Party of British Columbia Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to seek the seat in a forthcoming by-election. Gasper said the decision was made carefully and deliberately, with the future of British Columbia firmly in mind. Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper “This is a decision I have made after a great deal of careful consideration, and I believe it is the right decision for me, for our Party, and for the work ahead,” said MLA Gasper. “It has been a privilege to represent the people of Abbotsford-Mission, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who placed their trust in me.

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...
