FELDSTED: We are past weary of politicians telling us how progressive they are, caring and compassionate and all that rot


Francois Legault To Jason Kenney: Nice French, But We Don’t Want An Oil Pipeline.  "There is no social acceptability for a new oil pipeline in Quebec."
Canadian Press ~~ HuffPost ~~ 04/17/2019

QUEBEC — Premier Francois Legault is congratulating Jason Kenney on his electoral victory in Alberta while reminding the incoming premier that Quebec's position on oil pipelines hasn't changed.

Legault said all parties in Quebec's legislature oppose any new oil pipelines.

"What I am saying is there is no social acceptability for a new oil pipeline in
Quebec," he said Wednesday, a day after Kenney's United Conservatives won a decisive majority of seats in the Alberta legislature.

Like every other provincial premier, Legault is so socially conscious his province is dead broke and exists on massive equalization subsidies from taxpayers outside of Quebec.

We don’t give a damn what nonsense he has to spout today or on any other day.  Most of us, inside and outside Quebec are tired of posturing political popinjays pretending that they know what we want and what is best for us. They don’t have a clue and don’t care about us.

We need affordable, quality education for our children and youth. We get increased taxation to cover systems with a dismal record and secondary education that leaves graduates with huge debts. How will you fix that?

We need employment opportunities. Increasing minimum wage rates do not create new jobs. Is it hard to understand that no wage rate is enough for a job we can’t apply for because it doesn’t exist?

We need affordable housing, not subsidized housing. Housing costs keep rising because owner equity is all the retirement savings many people have. The higher costs go, the fewer people can qualify for a mortgage. The housing market is eating itself tail first and politicians are spectators.

We need larger personal income tax exemptions and lower tax rates. You don’t help the working poor by taxing their meager incomes. They have little incentive to work harder or longer only to climb into an even higher tax bracket.

We are sick and tired of ever increasing and expanding fees.


Politicians crow about holding the line on taxes but invent new fees and increase existing fees that we have to pay out of what is left after income tax, CPP and EI are deducted. Our actual tax rates are far higher than our governments will admit to. We are taxed so the government can provide us with needed services. Why are we paying twice for the same services?

We are past weary of politicians telling us how progressive they are, caring and compassionate and all that rot. What we see is progressive governments spending money we don’t have and deficits and debt they cannot control. They can’t go bankrupt, but they are bankrupting us and future generations.

Governments are handing out our money to large corporations and union to ‘save jobs’! Millions of us are employed by non-union small business, and we deeply resent subsidizing giants who mismanage their affairs and deserve to go bankrupt. Get a grip and fix this stupidity.

We pay the highest cable, cell phone and internet service fees in the world and our government claim they cannot do anything about it. How about breaking up the cartels that own the infrastructure and are fixing the prices?

The cost of living is steadily increasing, and incomes are not keeping pace. The gap between cost of living and after-tax income is increasing even more rapidly. Is it going to take a rebellion to wake politicians up?

Politicians claim they have a duty to combat climate change. Really?

Where is that in our constitution? Politicians have no idea what the causes of climate change are. They are claiming to combat the forces of nature and solar effects on our planet. It is a grand distraction to prevent our becoming aware of just how incompetent and useless they are.

When all the dust settles, our parliament and legislatures are run by irresponsible packs of misfits suffering from arrested social development; and that is the kind description.

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
