“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

MP McLeod -- Protecting our seniors should be the number one priority of this government. Especially given these recent Chinese events, we are now even more fearful for the privacy, data and care of our seniors

Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Yesterday (May 29th) Cathy McLeod, the Member of Parliament for Kamloops - Thompson - Cariboo, indicated that she has renewed serious concerns about the Chinese Government ownership of Retirement Concepts, including a local Kamloops seniors’ home.

“We have seen through recent events Justin Trudeau’s naiveté when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Government. Relations between the two countries is at an all-time low”

“Since the house arrest of Huawei’s CFO (Meng Wanzhou), we have had the Chinese government retaliate by arresting Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, two Canadian citizens who have been in Chinese custody since December, as well as the punishing actions of the Chinese to our canola and pork producers,” said McLeod.

“In a nut shell our working relationship with the Chinese government has never been this bad.”

Previously, MP McLeod had pushed the Liberal government, of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking how they could approve the purchase of our retirement seniors’ home for $1 billion to Anbang.  Following the purchase, it was then subsequently seized by Chinese authorities and the ownership transferred to the Chinese government.

“Protecting our seniors should be the number one priority of this government. Especially given these recent events, we are now even more fearful for the privacy, data and care of our seniors, given it is now in the hands of the Chinese government,” said McLeod. 

“I will be asking for reassurances from this government that our seniors are not put in a vulnerable position.”

NOTE:  The Chinese government took control of Anbang in February last year, part of a sweeping campaign to reduce financial risk. The former chairman of Anbang, Wu Xiaohui, was later sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Chinese court ~~ Insurance Journal / Reuters

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red

New BC NDP cabinet ready to take action on cost of living, health care, housing, climate

Premier David Eby has announced a new cabinet made of experience and new energy that will focus on tackling the problems people are facing, and working to make life better for British Columbians. “British Columbia is a wonderful place to live, but people are looking for action on the issues facing them and their families,” Premier Eby said. “If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that we can't solve these problems alone. We need to solve them together. My team of determined colleagues will use a wealth and variety of experiences to continue the good work we’ve started and go further to deliver results people can see and feel in their communities.” The new cabinet members are tasked with helping regular British Columbians with the cost of living, strengthening the health-care system, tackling the housing crisis so people can find affordable, attainable homes, making communities safer, advancing reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, fighting the impacts of climate change and
