“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

The objectives of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration conflict with the constitution, and body of laws, which Justin Trudeau was obligated to preserve and support

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM)

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is expected to be the first, inter-governmentally negotiated agreement, prepared under the auspices of the United Nations, to cover all dimensions of international migration in a holistic and comprehensive manner. It presents a significant opportunity to improve the governance on migration, to address the challenges associated with today’s migration, and to strengthen the contribution of migrants and migration to sustainable development.  The process to develop this Global Compact for Migration started in April 2017. The General Assembly will then hold an intergovernmental conference on international migration in December 2018 with a view to adopting the Global Compact.  

The New York Declaration
For the first time on 19 September 2016 Heads of State and Government came together to discuss, at the global level within the UN General Assembly, issues related to migration and refugees. This sent an important political message that migration and refugee matters have become major issues in the international agenda. In adopting the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, the 193 UN Member States recognized the need for a comprehensive approach to human mobility and enhanced cooperation at the global level and committed to:

  • protect the safety, dignity and human rights and fundamental freedoms of all migrants, regardless of their migratory status, and at all times;
  • support countries rescuing, receiving and hosting large numbers of refugees and migrants;
  • integrate migrants – addressing their needs and capacities as well as those of receiving communities – in humanitarian and development assistance frameworks and planning
  •  combat xenophobia, racism and discrimination towards all migrants
  •  develop, through a state-led process, non-binding principles and voluntary guidelines on the treatment of migrants in vulnerable situations; and
  •  strengthen global governance of migration, including by bringing IOM into the UN family and through the development of a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.


This is the velvet glove hiding an iron fist. The global compact, consisting of unelected academic institutions, non-government organizations and corporations intends to mobilize a global movement to create the world it wants. The last bullet in the New York Declaration gives it away:


The 193 UN Member States recognized the need for a comprehensive approach to human mobility and enhanced cooperation at the global level and committed to strengthen global governance of migration – (IOM stands for the International Organization for Migration).  However, let me state four facts to you:
1.    Only 88 (45.6%) of the 193 member states are democracies;
2.    The Global Compact cannot confer rights and freedoms of millions of people governed by dictators and tyrants;
3.    The 88 democracies already provide their citizens with the rights and freedoms the Global Compact is touting;
4.    The 88 democracies have legislation and regulations to manage immigration and refugee numbers to that which their societies can reasonably manage.

The objective of the Global Compact is to demand that we accept whatever immigrants and refugees it decides our nation should accept. We will not be allowed to manage immigration to meet our needs or to limit numbers to those we can afford to support and assimilate.

Just as frightening to consider is the Global Compact media objective, which is to:
Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet-based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media

Democracies protect an independent and free press. Journalists have a code of ethics and do not need to be sensitized or educated on immigration matters. Furthermore, our freedom of expression forbids the censorship the Global Compact proposes.

Democracies are an open forum of ideas and ideals, some of which we find inane or repugnant. We have and will continue to confront and deal with those ideas and opinions.

Our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has signed on to The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, but ... the objectives conflict with the constitution and body of laws he is obligated to preserve and support.

Proponents of this document claim that it is non-binding. In that case there was no need to sign on, and Canada was foolish to sign on and give the document undeserved credibility.

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...
