“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

Time and again, a clear majority of Canadians have said they want new pipelines built in Canada. This is why we’d like to say thank you to Canada’s senators for doing the right thing


On May 30th, Canadian Senators voted to accept comprehensive amendments to Bill C-69.

With all these amendments, Bill C-69 would ensure a timely and effective approval process.  Without them, it will send a troubling message that Canada is a place not interested in getting big projects, like pipelines, built.

In a statement from Canada’s Energy Citizens, they made it known that, “Based on the feedback they received, members of the Senate’s Energy and Environment Committee made several amendments to Bill C-69 – ensuring the bill provides a workable regulatory process for major projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline”.

“When someone does the right thing, it’s important that be recognized. This is why we’d like to say thank you to Canada’s senators for the tremendous job they did listening to the concerns of tens of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast to coast with Bill C-69 and what this devastating legislation will do to families and the future of our country”.

The bill will now be voted on a final time by senators in third reading and it will then be up to the federal cabinet and government to decide whether they’ll accept or reject the amendments.

“We believe Canadians have been clear on Bill C-69. A multi-partisan consensus of premiers across the country, from Alberta, to Ontario, to Newfoundland and Labrador, told the Senate an unchanged Bill C-69 would do damage to our economy”, stated Canada’s Energy Citizens.

Time and time again when asked, a clear majority of Canadians have said they want new pipelines built in Canada. In January, six in ten Canadians called a lack of pipeline capacity a crisis.   


Now it’s time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government to listen, and accept the work of Canada’s Senators.

Canada’s Energy Citizens are asking you to write to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and his government,  and demand that they accept the Senate’s amendments.

Sincerely,
Canada's Energy Citizens

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
