“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 look back at the week ending Saturday March 2nd


I rarely think of any of the weekly posts being my favorite, however this week, I do have one ... one by Adam Olsen on Gratitude.  Just a few words from it state:

My mediocre is someone’s pinnacle. This could be a thought of almost everyone, in every situation.

Our culture trains us to focus on wanting and needing more. The script running through the back our minds tells us we are not good enough. Instagram confirms it for us.

Our culture does not focus on the benefits of gratitude. The feeling of comfort that this mediocre moment with my family is indeed a moment that I may never get again. And, when it is in that context, perhaps it is a little easier to honour it as much.

If you haven’t read any yet, and you only have time for one ... that’s the one I suggest:


#10  DAN ALBAS:  Jody Wilson-Raybould was the target of a “consistent and sustained” effort by Prime Minister Trudeau, and his most senior staff, to politically interfere in the criminal case against SNC-Lavalin


#9  CATHY McLEOD:  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Must Resign Amid SNC-Lavalin Affair


#8  ADAM OLSEN:  Raising My Hands in Gratitude


#7  FELDSTED:  Wernick is not elected and accountable to the public. The pompous ass deserves to be fired for overstepping his authority and attempting to shame an elected official in public


#6  FORSETH:  “My daddy told me so” says little Thomas, "and he wouldn't tell me a lie. Would you, Daddy?"


#5  ADAM OLSEN: The focus has been largely on the bags of cash dragged into the casinos to be laundered ... but ... as we found out ... the problem extends to real estate and luxury cars


#4  FELDSTED: Taking a road less travelled.  Saving jobs is a side issue – a ‘red herring’; not a justification for unlawful interference in the judicial process


#3  FIONA FAMULUK:  By wielding a legislative hammer to bring in an unjustifiable policy for the construction industry, Premier John Horgan’s government is implementing a solution that is looking for a problem


#2  FORSETH:  It Speaks to the Need for Fairness, When it Comes to Carbon Tax Credits, Being Applied Evenly Across BC Manufacturing and Agriculture Industries


#1  FORSETH:  Good on you Adrian Dix ... you’re fighting the good fight! (Sarcasm?  Yes!).  There is one choice, and one choice only to be made


And that’s a wrap on this week ... I hope it was a good one for one!  Take care, and keep sending those suggestions for ideas on posts to consider.

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
