“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

DAY SEVEN ... the week of February 17th to 23rd


And another week has come to the end.  Is everyone else getting sick of hearing about SNC Lavalin ... Jody Wilson-Raybould, Darryl Plecas ... and the PMO’s office?  Well I certainly am.
Regardless ... here are the story that visitors to the blog read the most this past week, presented once again, just in case you missed them.


#10  ROTHENBURGER:  We need to choose our words well. We can’t assume our clever remarks are always interpreted the way we mean them. Some will take them literally when they shouldn’t. They’ll hear what they want to hear


#9  PECKFORD:  The public interest is for the elected. The clerk advises the elected. End of story. The clerk erred.


#8  DAN ALBAS:  Liberals announced $40 million to Blackberry for autonomous vehicle technology.  Did they need the money?  The CEO of Blackberry gave a candid, “No”


#7  FORSETH:  “Some members of the street-entrenched population” are causing problems. Some of the problem people are homeless, some are addicts, some are mentally ill ... but no one category defines the problem at hand


#6  FORSETH:  There’re is no disputing the fact that debt will increase more than ten times faster than what the Ministry of Finance claims will be our budget surplus


#5  AARON GUNN:  These contracts weren’t even the idea of BC Hydro, but rather were thrust upon the corporation by our own politicians


#4  FELDSTED:  Over two years of government assurances, that ‘all is well’, have worn thin. Evidence is mounting that the government has a major mess on its hands


#3  FORSETH:  BC and Alberta working together for a project that will benefit the West is paramount.  With today’s NEB approval, the time for enhanced, sustainable projects to benefit our tattered resource sector is upon us


#2  FELDSTED:  The hatchet job on Wilson-Raybould, by Michael Wernick (Clerk of the Privy Council and Canada’s top bureaucrat), is just cause for his immediate dismissal


#1  FORSETH:  Its a pity no its actually disgusting that smaller and fewer newsrooms, owned and operated by fewer and fewer independent companies, will have the say on what gets shown tomorrow

That’s all for this this ... enjoy the rest of your weekend.

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
