“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: She is comfortable shilling for foreign vested interests, stabbing us in the back while doing so. She is the poster child of a bought and paid for politician now a key Minister in the government


Joyce Murray’s real backers are American environmentalist groups. 

The well-organized environmental outfit that backs Murray, the Dogwood Initiative, has been funded by co-funders of the Rockefeller campaign against Canadian energy exports

Vivian Krause ~~ Special to Financial Post ~~ April 8, 2013

Conventional wisdom has Justin Trudeau winning the federal Liberal leadership race by a landslide. But Joyce Murray has told The Toronto Star that she is in the lead with even more registered supporters than Trudeau.

Murray’s team brought in “tens of thousands of supporters” and got 70% registration, she says. “A lot of people who are supporting me signed up because of endorsements like David Suzuki’s or awareness-raising by groups who care about the environment, democracy, women’s equality, an integrated food policy,” ...

The peculiar thing about Murray’s position on pipelines and tankers is that she only opposes ones that would enable Canadian oil to fetch global market prices. She entirely misses or ignores the dozens of pipelines and tankers that import oil to the eastern coast on a daily basis.

This is another facet of government dalliance with pressure groups.

(Liberal MP) Joyce Murray effectively sold off her sworn obligation to serve all of the people of her constituency and the people of Canada to a third-party political organization that brought her memberships and votes.


In return, she is comfortable shilling for foreign vested interests, stabbing us in the back while doing so. She is the poster child of a bought and paid for politician now a key Minister in the government (President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Digital Government).

That is why so many people are cynical about politics and politicians.

They are fed up with people who aspire to power but shun the responsibilities of elected office. Our government can easily enact legislation prohibiting non-profits like the Dogwood Initiative from receiving funding from foreign sources -- but will not do so.

That could mean that Murray and some others might not win in October.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
