“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

FELDSTED: Canada cannot be allowed to be held hostage by a minority of foreign subsidized, self-styled environmentalists determined to destroy the Canadian economy


The Senate committee has rigged these hearings to ensure that most of the testimony comes from coastal supporters of Bill C-48.
Don Braid ~~ Calgary Herald  ~~ March 23, 2019

The committee will travel to Terrace and Prince Rupert, B.C. But the senators have twice voted down pleas to hold hearings in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

On Friday NDP Leader Rachel Notley sent a letter asking the Senate to reconsider. She urged Albertans to do the same.

“They don’t think the people of Alberta should be heard . . . I gotta tell you, this is kind of an unprecedented stampede of stupid,” Notley said....

‘Stampede of stupid’ hardly covers the arrogant belligerence of the Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. The Senate is failing its duty to consider the interests of all provinces and Canadians. It is very curious that the Committee on Transport and Communications is vetting Bill C-48 rather than the Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources.

This appears to be a replay of Criminal Code amendments included in a Finance Bill.

Every Canadian has a stake in the Tanker Ban Bill. Development and export of our natural resources involve billions of dollars in lost revenues, tens of thousands of jobs, work for steel mills, foundries, suppliers of fittings, valves, sensors, motors and thousands of supplies needed in the oil and gas fields, pipeline construction, maintenance and service, billions of dollars in investments, and the resurgence of an economy with recession knocking on the door.


Canada cannot be allowed to be held hostage by a minority of foreign-subsidized, self-styled environmentalists determined to destroy the Canadian economy on the altar of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).



Our government has failed to exercise its constitutional powers to act in the best interest of Canadians, claiming its hands are tied by environmentalists when that is not true. 

If this government cannot or will not protect our national interests, it has to go.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story
