“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 3rd to February 9th


And again ... another exciting week in politics here in BC ... and in Canada.  They included possible interference by Justin Trudeau in the SNC-Lavalin affair... the uproar in the Legislature regarding the top two legislative assistants ... the never-ending stalemate in the building of approved pipelines ... another 1,500 people dying because of millionaire criminals flooding the streets and back-alleys with murderous poison ... AND ... ICBC!

Let’s start with number 10 ... and once you’re done, I hope you’ll make comment on your thoughts on these, and any others stories you’ve read or come across.


#10 ... FEDLSTED: Perhaps government can ignore the thunder of economists, but the lightning of insolvency is not as easily put off

#9 ... SUITS and BOOTS: Soon, with that kind of airplay, those foreign funded, full-rime protesters, will be crying out for peace!
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/01/soon-with-that-kind-of-airplay-those.html 

#8 ... FELDSTED: Why are lobbyists given apparent open access to government, when members of the public and legitimate public groups can’t get a foot in the door?
https://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/feldsted-why-are-lobbyists-given.html

#7 ... DAN ALBAS: The suggestion by the Prime Minister that lower income citizens do not pay taxes is patently false

#6 ... ICBC:  Review finds no support for concerns of cases needlessly taken to trial and unnecessarily generating increased legal costs
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/icbc-review-finds-no-support-for.html

#5 ... FORSETH:  We tend to think about justice as being the police the courts and prisons. It is much more than that – it is about people and their everyday problems
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/we-tend-to-think-about-justice-as-being.html 

#4 ... On SNC-Lavalin, Conservatives will pursue every course of action to make sure Justin Trudeau and his office are held to account
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/on-snc-lavalin-conservatives-will.html

#3... FORSETH: Yes, they suffered from drug overdoses ... from poisoned drug sources ... and from a government completely uncaring in actually dealing with the situation!
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/forseth-yes-they-suffered-from-drug.html

#2... ROTHENBURGER:  The federal government is making hundreds of millions a year off interest fees on student loans -- getting an education costs way too much
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-federal-government-is-making.html

And what’s clocking in at the number one spot this week?

#1 ... FORSETH:  BC LIBERALS (AKA Liberal dominated conservatives) ... FEDERAL LIBERALS (Tax and spend Trudeau style) ... FEDERAL LIBERALS (who are more like the BC NDP) running to be BC LIBERALS ... FEDERAL CONSERVATIVES running to be BC LIBERALS
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/02/bc-liberals-aka-liberal-dominated.html

Finally, I hoping that you might share your thoughts on the whole idea of a weekly top 10.  Does it help in case you missed one or two of the stories each week ... is it of interest to know which you and others found to hold the most interest,

And last (sorry I know I already just said ‘finally’ mere moment ago) ... here’s the most read post of the past 30 days:

Andrew Wilkinson, along with many of his fellow provincial LIBERAL members, are continually shelling out wads of CASH not to federal Conservatives, but instead to the Federal LIBERAL Party
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/01/andrew-wilkinson-along-with-many-of-his.html 


Thanks for your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas – please keep them coming.  And ... if you haven’t already, please follow me on Twitter at @AlanForseth

All the best friends ... and have a great week.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

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...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
