“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

TREV Talks … garbage! TREV talks … GHG’s! TREV talks west-coast garbage and turning fluff into energy!


“Imagine a government that is less worried about tickets being scalped and more worried about reducing GHG’s by 20-30% … all while supporting our safe, sustainable and beneficial energy resources?”.  That’s the question posed by Fort St. John Councillor Trevor Bolin. 

Just the other day TREV talked with Marlon Lee of FogDog Energy, a company that has redefined the way garbage and recycling are done and helping turn landfills into parks

Lee is blunt in saying change needs to be made, and that, “We’ve got these Premiers committing to all these GHG reductions … they’re thinking that they’re trying to limit pipelines … and they’re trying to limiting fracking … or natural resource development”.

The big thing about climate change, and having a climate tax, is that landfills in Canada contribute 25 to 30% of all GHG’s in Canada.  The most important things in GHG’s is METHANE – and that’s 20 times more potent than CO2!

The Fogdog Solution is to instead implement a system designed for the treatment of almost any types of waste. It converts Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Medical Waste to a composition that is sterile, disinfected and dehydrated. An end product material we call “fluff”. The process also creates both a reduction in volume and in weight.

So why, are we constantly picking on oil and gas?  Everything keeps coming at them. 


Instead take 25 tons of garbage … almost all waste including plastics, metals, and organics), and in literally 30 minutes it’s processed down to fluff (like those dust bunnies we find under the couch or bed). 

And the end product – the fluff?  It can become energy to power homes and business … and liquid fuels including diesel.

If they (politicians) literally look in their own backyards, and especially in the lower mainland where Vancouver, for example, ships a large part of its garbage north, they would actually be reducing GHG’s faster and more effective than trying to limit resource development.

Instead, Fogdog Energy’s Marlon Lee, says “… they have these energy renewal programs.  I can tell you this, what programs?”

“The parameters they put in place doesn’t work for most organizations that are actually trying to have something, and trying to make change … the programs don’t apply to them!”

It might seem a little harsh, however Marlon says, “When it comes to government – NDP / Liberal – it doesn’t matter.  They have been completely useless.”

And that’s likely why Trev stated that, “The people of BC and Alberta have to reach out to government and have them look into it (this process), and STOP beating up on the oil and gas sector!”

It’s been proven in other countries, especially in Europe.  If politicians won’t accept the concept, it’s time to make a change.

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...
