“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.

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
