“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

DAY SEVEN the week of April 14th to 20th


It’s Sunday ... and that means it’s time to take a look at the Top 10 most read stories of the week ... including one back for a second week... and that’s #3 about the BC Conservative Parties new leader Trevor Bolin.

Also this week we talked about Trudeau’s historical record setting run at creating the most debt ... losses from another delay on the Trans Mountain Pipeline ... Caribou consultation meetings being held through-out the province ... and the Trudeau governments disregard for the rule of law.

These stories and more top the list of one you read the most – but – if you missed any of them, here’s a chance to catch them now ... starting with #10:


#10  Trudeau breaks record for debt growth among prime ministers in Canadian history, says Fraser Institute
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/trudeau-breaks-record-for-debt-growth.html


#9  FELDSTED: We cannot continue a representative contract with a gigolo government that has been bought by and caters to its primary financial supporters
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/feldsted-we-cannot-continue.html


#8  McLEOD: Community befits alone ... the improvement projects as part of Trans Mountain going through Kamloops.  There was going to be a whole corridor improvement project
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/community-befits-alone-improvement.html


#7  FELDSTED:  Climate change is not our greatest challenge; it is the lack of competent, ethical, honest, and open governance
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/feldsted-climate-change-is-not-our.html


#6  Jason Kenney: The NDP is finishing this campaign the way they started it: with fear and smear, U.S. style attack ads and the politics of personal destruction
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/jason-kenney-ndp-is-finishing-this.html


#5  ERIN OTOOLE: While the SNC scandal is deeply troubling to many observers, it is not even the most serious example of the Trudeau government’s disregard for the rule of law
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/erin-otoole-while-snc-scandal-is-deeply.html



#4   Can we just send them out into the school yard for an old-fashioned rough and tumble brawl? 
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/can-we-just-send-them-out-into-school.html


#3  “The advantage I have is over a decade of experience in local politics, two decades in business, and a burning passion to see the other provinces become envious of BC” – Trevor Bolin, BC Conservative Party leader
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-advantage-i-have-is-over-decade-of.html


#2  Caribou Consultation Meetings ... frustration is being expressed because bureaucrats and government officials have been at it for over a year - yet people attending are saying nobody has talked to them. NOBODY!
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/caribou-consultation-meetings.html


And at last we come upon the most read post of this past week ....


#1  Sorry but that trade-off of savings, for increased costs, won’t add up no matter how many years someone continues to live in an Energy Step Code Home
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/sorry-but-that-trade-off-of-savings-for.html


And let’s leave today’s post with one of my favorites from the week, which came in at the Number 11 spot:

ADAM OLSEN: Take a Deep Breath and Recharge ...  and ... A Good laugh is Medicine for the Spirit
http://acuriouslookatpoliticsinbc.blogspot.com/2019/04/adam-olsen-take-deep-breath-and.html


There’s a new look to the blog this week, but we’re still telling the important stories about BC Politics and more ... and continuing our discussion on political, economic and social issues that affect those of us in British Columbia, and Canada.

Bye for now ... and we’ll be back starting Monday with new stories we hope will make you think.

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...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...

FORSETH: That, to me, sure seems to fit with narcissistic personality disorder – AND - a definite sense of self entitlement

I think most people are aware of why England’s Henry the 8th created the Church of England. It was out of a belief that he should be able to do anything he wanted. And what did he want?  It was a male heir that would follow him and, at his death, become the next King of England.   His marriage to Catherine had not produced one, so he demanded the Pope to allow him to divorce her.  The Pope of course refused so Henry created his own church, and declared himself the "Supreme Head of the Church of England", thereby allowing him to annul the marriage. In other words, he wanted his own way, and because he had the ultimate power in England, he forced his will over the church. Many (most?) would say people suffer like that from 'narcissistic personality disorder'. The Mayo Clinic says, “ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are e...
