“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 May 19th to 25th


Before we start looking back at the 10 most read commentaries of the week, we’re actually going to have a Number 11 ... that’s because it was just barely out of the Top 10 ... it comes from BC MLA Adam Olsen:

#11 ... ADAM OLSEN -- There is nothing exclusive about this canoe. Indeed, all are welcome to come aboard the canoe as long as you are paddling for the Kitlope


#10 ... DAN ALBAS -- Regardless of personal political views, I believe adding partisan interests to this process should raise serious worry


#9 ... More than just focusing on pipeline and fuel issues however, Bolin expanded further on building BC, its economy, and well-paying jobs


#8 ... ADAM OLSEN -- This is just paranoid, conspiratorial fear-mongering you say! The result of the over-active mind of someone listening to too many podcasts


#7 ... FRASER INSTITUTE: Many barriers to competition in Canada result from government interference, and these barriers affect a sizable share of the Canadian economy


#6 ... FELDSTED -- The most arrogant and inane statement ever uttered by the IPCC is that “(climate) science is settled”. Science is never settled; it sits awaiting the next discovery and incremental improvement


#5 ... SCOTT ANDERSON -- Climate Change and the Great Manure Crisis -- Part Three
 

#4 ... ADAM OLSEN -- I realized on that stretch of road that the light or darkness that I feel about the current state of provincial or global affairs is the only thing that I can control


#3 ... NEIL THOMPSON -- "Exploitation" is to women's issues what "sustainable" is the environmental movement - it has become so broadly used it has lost its "true" meaning


#2 ... It seems that our stubborn, pig-headed provincial government will fight this battle down to the last court of appeal, and or the last nickel in the provincial treasury

Ft St John resident Steve Thorlakson
And now we arrive at the story and commentary moist read over the past week ... this, is Number One ...

#1 ... The report also recommends developing policy and guidelines around all paid government advertising, with a system in place for frequent review and updating


Tomorrow starts a new week of commentaries, including one from Steve Thorlakson on “Grassroots Energy Prosperity” ... and we’ll also have part 4 of the series from Scott Anderson called “Climate Change and the Great Manure Crisis".

Enjoy your day ... and thank you for being a part of this journey on BC Politics and More.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
