“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 21st to 27th


Confederation … Air-Shed Quality … Hunting … First Nations Health and Wellness … and Taxes – we covered all of that and so much more.  But, as always, its Day Seven, and here are the Top 10 most read stories of the week:  

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

#9  FELDSTED: Quebec recognized the incremental incursion of federal governments on provincial subjects and stood up for herself. We see the results of ensuing negotiations

#8  FRASER INSTITUTE:  Canada has not recently tried to simplify the tax system and has demonstrated little concerted effort at regulatory reduction or simplification

#7  FELDSTED: Central Canada has circumvented the ethics of confederation through a series of grants and supports, to Ontario and Quebec, which are not available elsewhere

#6  DAN ALBAS: Our federal Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien confirmed that his office will be investigating this leak of confidential information

#5  STEVE FORSETH:  Ultimately a new Airshed Management Plan would help to restore public confidence that local air quality is a priority

#4  plan h: Projects set to support Indigenous health and wellness in BC
 
#3  ALAN FORSETH:  Maslow’s Theory of Needs indicates that needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up

#2  ALAN FORSETH with notes from Government of BC:  In many communities there are a percentage of youth who are not connected to services, mental health supports, education, the health care system, family justice -- the list goes on and on.

And finally, in the number one spot comes a post from BC Liberal MLA Doug Clovechok, on hinting.  A story that jumped all the way to the top in just one day.

#1  DOUG CLOVECHOK:  As my Dad would say, ‘By virtue of the fact that we are hunters, we are conservationists’.

That's all for this past week ... stay tuned, a visit each day, for new stories and commentaries regarding Thoughts on BC Politics and More.

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province.

Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red
