“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.

'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 ...
