“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

On SNC-Lavalin, Conservatives will pursue every course of action to make sure Justin Trudeau and his office are held to account


KAMLOOPS:
“I am deeply disturbed by allegations in the Globe and Mail yesterday, that Justin Trudeau’s office attempted to pressure Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was Canada’s Attorney General, to abandon the criminal prosecution of Quebec engineering and construction giant SNC-Lavalin”

The words in that statement, were issued by Cathy McLeod, Member of Parliament for Kamloops–Thompson–Cariboo

“Even more shocking” she continued, “is that the Prime Minister may have fired her from her role as our country’s first Indigenous Justice Minister and Attorney General.”

McLeod continued, “We have recently seen this just south of our border, where a leader dismissed his Attorney General for defying orders.”

Cathy McLeod was the first Member of Parliament to raise these allegations in the House of Commons yesterday morning, stating:
“Everyone was so proud that the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada was an Indigenous woman. We congratulated her on her amazing success. We are now learning that the government threw her under the bus.”

It’s not the first time, nor will it be the last Conservatives will accuse the federal Liberal government, of Justin Trudeau, of participating in ‘political interference’.

Twelve months ago in fact, federal Conservatives, including MP Cathy McLeod, were accusing Justin Trudeau of "political interference".

Back then McLeod, as Conservative Indigenous Affairs critic commented, "The tragic death and pain for the family of (Colten Boushie) is unimaginable, and our thoughts are with his community."

Then, came those same words – political interference – as she added, "... we need to let the many steps of an independent judicial process unfold without political interference."

In a media release late this morning, MP McLeod added, “(we have) called for an emergency meeting of the Justice Committee to question the Prime Minister’s Office, and other government officials, over their potential interference in an ongoing criminal prosecution”.

“If Liberals prevent officials from the Prime Ministers Office from testifying, Conservatives will pursue every course of action to make sure Justin Trudeau and his office are held to account,” McLeod concluded.

This story is a long way from being over, and as McLeod stated, “Canadians will be watching carefully to see if Liberal MPs block the request.” 

A request that is tied into and around SNC-Lavalin illegally donating over $100,000 to the Liberal Party of Canada

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

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 ...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
