“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

CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS: We wanted to show you a headline from this morning


CALGARY:  March 12th, 2019 

U.S. the new oil king as Canadian outlook deteriorates: IEA ... The International Energy Agency’s latest oil forecast sees diverging prospects for the two neighbours’ oil and natural gas industries

One of the main reasons why? Continued delays in building new pipelines.  This is Canada in 2019. How did this happen?

Canada sits on the third largest known reserves on the planet. We are global leaders when it comes to environmental responsibility, innovation and safety. Past surveys* have shown that the world would choose Canadian oil and energy products before any other country in the world.

*People around the world see Canadian oil and natural gas as the energy of the future, according to a new global research survey.

But here’s the cold reality.

A lack of leadership or direct confrontation from political leaders has meant tens of billions of dollars of investment evaporating out of Canada. A range of new policies have made our country less competitive while we let foreign oil continue to sail into our country without the same regulatory challenges.

Those are jobs for all Canadians right across the country that have disappeared and are instead being sent to other countries like the United States, Saudi Arabia or Nigeria. And that’s billions more in government revenues that should be going to things like new roads, hospitals and schools.


To make things even worse, the federal government is piling on with new legislation that will make building new pipelines nearly impossible with bills C-69 and C-48.



That’s unacceptable.

Tell senators and the federal government that Canadians do not back these bills and it’s time to bring investment back into Canada.



Send a letter now ... Take action ... Fight for Canada’s future.

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...
