“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.

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...
