“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 the Top Ten most read post from the week ending Saturday March 16th


And here we are back to Day Seven already, and after many posts this week, here are the seven most read during the last seven days.  From Hospital food, to a strong (or lack thereof) economy, the resource industry, wild salmon and more ... you’ll find it all here.

Check them out ... see if you missed reading any of them ... or maybe you’ll just want to have another look.  First up ... the 10th most read post of the week:


#10  DAN ALBAS ... Do you believe that Ms. Wilson Raybould should have the opportunity to appear before the Justice Committee for a second time to respond to these recent statements?


#9  FORSETH ... Damn right they don’t us to know, because those resource workers, and their spouses and friends, wouldn’t be headed to cash registers with products from these phony philanthropists / protectors of the environment


#8  FELDSTED ... Governments continue to spend irresponsibly, driven by a fear that reduced spending will result in a loss of votes and political power


#7 ... Many may question the value of public input into such things as the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services ... not so MLA Doug Clovechok


#6  DOUG CLOVECHOK:  I support the preservation of quality farm and ranchland. But we should not have a minority government stripping the rights of private landowners no matter what the circumstances


#5  ADAM OLSEN ... This is the culmination of a process that began last summer for the BC Wild Salmon Advisory Council


#4  CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS ...  We wanted to show you a headline from this morning


#3  CEC ... We know the naysayers will continue to pull out all the tools they can to pursue their goal of “death by delay” of any major resource project or investment in BC


#2  FORSETH ... I’m not sure having the only locally prepared menu selections in the 55 Interior Health facilities should be limited to preparing sandwiches, vegetables, salads, and breakfast items


And hanging in at the number 1 spot is this post from last Friday ... March 8th:

#1  FORSETH ... All I can say is if that’s how maintaining a strong economy, and putting people first works, I’m not so sure those of us living in BC will be able to afford much more of it

And that’s it for this week ... we’ll be back with a fresh look at how BC and Canadian politics affect us – and why.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

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...
