“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 – a look back at the week of April 28th to May 4th


And so, we come to the end of another week … a week where the topics of discussion included terrorist bombings … on-going arguments over Bills C-48 and 69 … hypocrisy of Greenpeace … Ageism … protect ring Mother Earth … and so much more.

Thank you for dropping by the blog-site, and reading the work of all who provide their commentaries – and remember, you are welcome to comment on any story you agree, disagree, or simply wish to make a statement on.  

Now, without any further delay, here are the 10 most read commentaries of the week:

#10 … JOHN TWIGG:  Notre Dame and Sri Lanka offer new insights into mankind’s precarious prophesied future


#9 … ANDERSON -- This is not a homeless issue; it is a drug and/or mental health issue. Until we are willing to at least be honest about it, we stand no chance of curing it


#8 … Please don’t be ashamed. Just own it. Stop preaching to the masses. When your organization and personnel are willing to walk your own talk, then I guess we’ll have something to discuss


#7 … ADAM OLSEN -- In the beginning, it was the W̱SÁNEĆ teaching to look after Mother Earth, all of the animals, the birds, the trees, the salmon, the wind were— and still are — people


#6 …  FORSETH: Given the words of both Premier Horgan and one-time radical environmentalist George Heyman, we’re not going to see any change in the BC government position



#5 … FORSETH: Weekly earnings of BC employees decreased ... take home pay less than workers in Alberta, Newfoundland / Labrador, Ontario, and Saskatchewan


#4 … ROTHENBURGER:  Ageism is the last bastion of the ‘isms’, and they’re all equally despicable


#3 … Hopefully residents of the city will be more inclined to see the value of a performing arts centre, much as they finally did when it came to building the coliseum at Riverside Park


#2 … FORSETH: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants Canada to be thought of as the peacemakers of the world --- instead, we are the doormats of the world


#1 … Bill C-48 seems to say that these oil substances are only risky in north west British Columbia


Thanks again … and we’ll be back again tomorrow to start anew.

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...
