“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

Pipeline protestors are myopic, narrow-minded shills who have one single objective that is contrary to the interests of Canada and her people


Vivian Krause leads fight against Americans who have landlocked the oil sands
David Staples  ~~  Edmonton Journal  ~~  November 14, 2018

It’s not often that powerful American interests are completely open about their success at thwarting a foreign economy, but that’s what happened a year ago when Michael Marx talked up his achievements.

 
Protesters and activists have two goals -- keep Canadian
oil in the ground, and if not, then keep our oil landlocked
“From the very beginning, the campaign strategy was to land-lock the tar sands so their crude could not reach the international market where it could fetch a high price per barrel. This meant national and grassroots organizing to block all proposed pipelines.”

…  co-ordinated two major American charitable foundations, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and The Tides Foundation, in their anti-oilsands fight … campaign has supplied tens of millions in U.S. dollars to groups such as Greenpeace Canada, Idle No More, Leadnow, Living Oceans Society, the Pembina Institute, the Sierra Club, the World Wildlife Fund Canada and various First Nations to battle against the oil sands …

I wonder how many pipeline protestors will admit they are indoctrinated shills of American corporate billionaires. They are not protecting anything other than the foreign bank accounts of the people who pay for organizing them. All that holier than thou, protect our environment posturing is a scam.


Our governments are failing us, by allowing a few hundred foreign organized shills to dictate public policy that affects every one of 36.7 million other Canadians. 

We must strike back and refuse to support any politicians or political party that will not actively promote and support resource development in Canada. 

We can make it an election issue. 

We can appear wherever politicians’ campaign and demand they listen to us and stop throttling our economic lifeblood.   

$100 billion per year is significant lost income that would eliminate our federal budget deficits and allow us to reduce our federal debt, currently standing at over $1.2 trillion. Interest on that debt is just under $29.4 billion or $800 per person per year. Those lost tax dollars do not provide any services or programs -- they go to foreign lenders.

Pipeline protestors are myopic, narrow-minded shills who have one single objective that is contrary to the interests of Canada and her people. They don’t care if our economy tanks and unemployment is rampant if their desires are met. 

They can voice their opinions on their own dime, petition parliament, speak to MPs and otherwise act within our lawful framework, but the thuggery they regularly turn to must not be tolerated. Protesters have no more rights than any other resident, and that must be made clear.   



Protestors who block projects or march without permits or block roads must be arrested, charged and given the choice of community service or jail time ... no fines. 

They might find that doing something useful for their community gives them a new perspective.

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
