“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.

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
