“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

FELDSTED: We cannot continue a representative contract with a gigolo government that has been bought by and caters to its primary financial supporters


Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

You have betrayed us. Your affair with SNC Lavalin is incompatible with your vow to serve and protect the people of Canada. Our covenant is shattered.

We are, herewith, serving notice of our petition for divorce. We have ample grounds for a formal end to our relationship. You are a promiscuous cad dancing with whoever will pay you well. You are true to no one, lest of all to yourself.

Your efforts to hide your affair with Lavalin are in vain. You stepped over a line. We value our independent justice system free from political interference. You are unconcerned over having brought us the disease of political interference in justice; the roots of tyranny.

Your dalliance with the United Nations is unseemly. It is 25 years since the Rwandan genocide. Canada was there. Despite urgent pleas for intervention to prevent the carnage, the United Nations failed to respond and over 800,000 Tutsi Rwandans were murdered. That is when the United Nations earned the title of Useless Nations.

Your efforts to write the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into Canadian law is an abdication of your responsibility to Canadians. Reconciliation is an effort to mediate a system of laws and jurisdiction that is acceptable to all.

Canada voted against adoption of the UN declaration when it was introduced. The UN Declaration is not legally binding. Introducing this legislation will drive a wedge into reconciliation negotiations. We cannot have separate rights legislation for indigenous and non-indigenous people without destroying reconciliation.



Your blind adherence to combating climate change is irrational and unreasonable.

To quote your Environment minister: “With all projects, we take into account the emissions, and we make decisions based on science, evidence and facts, and when it comes to all projects, they also need to fit in with our climate plan—and they need to take into account those emissions.”

You have done nothing to verify science, evidence and facts presented to support climate change other than parrot the IPCC. Stuffing our approach to climate change into the IPCC framework is not evidence-based decision making. It is fraud.

Your environmental legislation is a disguise for blocking needed pipeline infrastructure and refineries needed to make Canada an independent petroleum producer and exporter. The damage to our economy, entrepreneur confidence and investment is enormous. Canada is no longer regarded as a good place in which to do business. Pandering to your elite donors entails a very high price for all residents.

We recognize your recent efforts to divert attention from your Lavalin affair as what they are – distractions:
  • Threatening to sue to Opposition leader Andrew Scheer for false statements;
  • Giving $ 10 million to $ billionaire Loblaws to improve refrigerators; and
  • Suggesting that all conservatives are latent alt-right racists.


We are not distracted. The Lavalin affair has exposed the greedy group of interrelated corporate interests who exercise control over government policy. The link between Lavalin and Trans Mountain is disconcerting. The primary lawyer for Lavalin has been dispatched to negotiate/bribe indigenous bands to allow construction of the Trans Mountain expansion. What is in that for Lavalin and your party?

We note that you remain true to form in extending equalization payments to provinces until 2024 in the Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1 (Bill C-74). This obvious pandering to the Quebec Region at the expense of the other three regions of Canada and violation of the spirit of Constitution Section 36 is another substantive support for our petition for divorce.

We will not accept unilateral federal dictates. Provincial interests still matter.

We cannot continue a representative contract with a gigolo government that has been bought by and caters to its primary financial supporters.

Consider yourself served with notice. We deserve better.

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
