“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!

#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.

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
