“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

TODD STONE -- John Horgan wants to blame everything – and everyone – for a problem which he alone can quickly and easily take action on


Kamloops South Thompson MLA Todd Stone

British Columbians are paying the highest gas prices in all of North America.  And despite that, our self-declared Premier of affordability, John Horgan, refuses to take action to provide relief at the pumps.

He doesn’t want to touch any of the 35 cents per litre of taxes that he controls.

He continues to obstruct the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion despite losing in the courts again -- in a devastating unanimous decision of the BC Appeals court (May 24th).



Kamloops South Thompson MLA Todd Stone ... “Yesterday May 24th), the B.C Appeals Court rendered a unanimous decision against the John Horgan government’s attempt to block the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project”.

“It’s time for Horgan to stop his pipeline obstruction, and take action to provide British Columbians with relief from the highest gas prices in Canada”



And of course, he’s distracting and deflecting and wasting time by asking the BC Utilities Commissions (BCUC) to look at all of the reasons why gas prices are so high here, and yet he won’t let the BCUC to consider taxes.



“The rapid increase in gas prices in B.C. is alarming, increasingly out of line with the rest of Canada, and people in B.C. deserve answers,” said Premier John Horgan.

“We asked the BCUC to conduct a fair, transparent and comprehensive independent investigation. These terms provide the broad reach it needs to find answers and give recommendations to inform the path forward.”


You know, that would be like investigating Spring flooding without considering the weather.  Or trying to figure out why you’re going broke, without looking at your expenses.

John Horgan wants to blame everything – and everyone – for a problem which he alone can quickly and easily take action on ... but he won’t because big taxes and big spending leave little wiggle room for a rainy day. 



“High and wildly fluctuating gas prices in B.C. are hurting people and B.C.’s economy,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology.
 “Speculation and misinformation will not lead to solutions.



For meaningful, truly meaningful action ... on these high gas prices ... John Horgan needs to look in the mirror, Stone concluded

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...
