“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!

Budget 2027: After a Decade of Decline, NDP Budget Delivers an Assault on Seniors, Working Families, and Small Businesses

Peter Milobar, BC Conservative Finance Critic, condemned the NDP government’s latest budget as the result of a decade of decline that has left British Columbians broke, unsafe, and paying more for less.   “After ten years of NDP mismanagement, this budget is an assault on seniors, working families, and the small businesses that drive our economy,” said Milobar. “The NDP have turned their back on the people working hardest to make ends meet and the seniors who built this province.” Milobar pointed to a new $1.1 billion annual income tax increase and warned that the government is piling new costs onto households already struggling with affordability.   “This government keeps asking British Columbians for more, while delivering less,” Milobar said. “The question people are asking is simple: Where has all the money gone?” Milobar noted that BC has gone from a surplus in the first year of NDP government to a projected deficit of more than $13 billion this year, while prov...

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 ...

FORSETH -- Before anyone gets excited about one poll showing a candidate with a 25 percent lead, and 44 percent support overall, let’s give it a few more weeks

Is this based in reality -- how accurate are the numbers? In the past couple of weeks a couple of candidates, for the leadership of the BC Conservative Party, have been presenting polling results that they lead the pack – one even going so far as to say they have a lock on 44% of those who will be voting, and a twenty-five percent lead over the individual ranked second. I am going to say that this one, from Kerry-Lynne Findlay, is highly suspect. First of all the company conducting the poll, ERG National Research, is not a Member of Industry Bodies (the Canadian Research Insights Council), meaning they do not adhere to established industry standards for research, such as transparency, privacy, and methodological rigor. AI Overview states that ... based on alerts from the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) and reports, ERG National Research should be treated with extreme caution regarding its reliability, and legitimacy, in conducting political polling. Before I even read this in...
