“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: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not sorry about the slip in his façade. For once, he told the unvarnished truth ... he lacks respect


'I lacked respect' PM Trudeau apologizes for response to protester
CTVNews.ca ~~ Staff ~~ Thursday, March 28, 2019

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has apologized for a “lack of respect” he showed towards a protester who confronted him about mercury contamination in a First Nation community during a Liberal fundraiser in Toronto ... Trudeau said he always tries to be respectful and to engage with protesters in a “positive” way but admitted he didn’t do that the night before.

“Last night I lacked respect towards them, and I apologize for that,” he said.

On Wednesday night, hecklers at a fundraiser, organized by the Laurier Club that requires a minimum contribution of $1,500 to join, called out Trudeau’s handling of mercury poisoning on the Grassy Narrows First Nation, he thanked them for contributing to his party’s coffers.


“Thank you very much for your donation tonight, I really appreciate the donation to the Liberal Party of Canada,” Trudeau said to cheers from the crowd.



There are things, like displaying contempt, that are beyond repair by apology.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not sorry about the slip in his façade. For once, he told the unvarnished truth ... he lacks respect.

Serving Canadians does not float his boat. He craves a place on the world stage where the mundane matters of prudent governance of a peaceful nation do not intrude on his plans.

We should help by relieving him of the governance burden he now endures.

FORSETH: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

PG Citizen: Rustad says BC Conservatives will release an election report in January

BC’s new opposition leader is planning to release a report into the 2024 provincial election early in the new year ... party leader John Rustad said he’s received lots of questions about why the party didn’t question the results. “I did that intentionally for two reasons,” Rustad said. “First of all, I wanted to make sure that I support democracy and the democratic process, but I also wanted to give us time to do some research and to look into the issues and bring things forward at the appropriate time. “I’m looking forward to January because we’re actually going to be bringing forward a report on what we have found from the election ..."
