“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

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


Vancouver, BC ~~ March 12, 2019

A significant proportion of Canadians and British Columbians are in favour of resource development projects, a new Research Co. poll conducted on behalf of LNG Canada ... has found.

In the online survey of representative samples, 79% of Canadians and 71% of British Columbians express support for resource development projects. In addition, 61% of respondents across the country and 51% of those located in the westernmost province agree they are “tired of nothing getting built” in Canada and BC—a proportion that rises to 67% in northern BC.

Seven-in-ten Canadians (70%) believe the “national economy will suffer if we can’t build resource projects.” In British Columbia, 63% feel this way about the possible effect on the provincial economy, including 74% of those in northern BC.

And now the thoughts and comments, on this poll, from Canada’s Energy Citizens:

A new poll came out this week and it showed once again that British Columbians overwhelmingly back resource development like LNG and critical new infrastructure projects.

Here are the high-level numbers:


  • 71% back resource development projects

  • 70% see a positive economic impact from LNG development

  • 61% are “tired of nothing getting built”

  • 63% believe the provincial economy will suffer if we can’t build resource projects

  • 52% believe our country’s reputation “is harmed by protests against resource development projects


That’s a pretty wide consensus, but 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.



Can you make sure that the majority have their voices heard? 

The Coastal GasLink pipeline is critical in kick starting LNG in B.C. Send a letter to the provincial government now and ask them to stand firm in support of the project.

We appreciate your help and support!

Sincerely,
Canada's Energy Citizens

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 ..."
