“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

Trudeau, and his Liberal government are NOT 'pricing pollution', they are forcing Canadians to pay a TAX for the just about everything we need to live, and die for that matter!


Yesterday, when Conservative Party leader Andrew Sheer stated that, “Justin Trudeau’s Carbon tax does NOTHING to actually help the environment” ... there was a fairly quick response from Gerald Butts, a senior political adviser and political secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He tweeted that ... "It’s important to respond that most of the country’s (and the world’s) economists and scientists say precisely the opposite. Pricing pollution is an essential part of any serious #ClimateChange plan."

I have news for you Butts ... your federal masters (paying you a salary far higher I am sure than most Canadians) are NOT in fact pricing pollution!

and political secretary to
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
You are instead hitting Canadians with a TAX on the fuel we need to get to our jobs ... you are hitting us with a TAX on tools carpenters, mechanics, and the like need for their jobs ... its a TAX we pay for increased costs on the homes we buy, and the fuel to heat them ... its an added TAX that gets passed on to us from businesses getting their products to market -- and that INCLUDES the food we eat, and the clothes and footwear we purchase for our children.

In actual fact Butts ... it’s a TAX passed on by your boss Justin Trudeau – an individual who has NEVER in his life every had to working about budgeting for himself, or his family.

What’s the bottom line in this whole commentary, that infuriated me when I saw it?

Here it is.  Trudeau, and his Liberal government are NOT 'pricing pollution', they are forcing Canadians to pay a TAX for the just about everything we need to live, and die for that matter!

Pricing Pollution? No ... I call Bull Shit!

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...
