“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

Aaron Gunn: It continues a trend of this government pursuing ideological resolutions over straightforward, common sense results


Gas prices in British Columbia are completely insane. 

Here in Victoria prices are now up over $1.60 per litre, while in Vancouver, prices have risen as a high as $1.79 a litre.  And while our politicians try to point their fingers at everybody else, its time they take a serious look in the mirror. 

For one thing, they tax BC drivers more than anywhere else in North America – including 52 cents per litre in Vancouver.  But instead of offering drivers relief, four weeks ago, on April 1st, they raised gas taxes again. 

But that’s only part of the story.

Equally important is the shortage of refined product here in B.C. – home to just one small refinery. Instead of supporting the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, that could help deliver more refined product to the region, this government (BC NDP led by Premier John Horgan) has done everything in its power to derail it entirely. 

(And by doing so they are) pissing off Alberta, instigating a constitution crisis and running the risk that new Premier Jason Kenney could turn off the taps all together.

Has BC now become a province that's
even more expensive to call home?
It continues a trend of this government pursuing ideological resolutions over straightforward, common sense results. 

A series of decisions that instead of making BC more affordable, like they promised, has instead made the province an even more expensive place to call home. 

It’s time the cost of living become a serious priority for our politicians ... because it’s hard to enjoy the beauty of B.C. when you can’t afford to live here.

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
