“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 NUMBER 7 ... the week of June 3rd to 8th



Sunday is here ... and it’s the day we look back at the most read blog stories of the week ... including a surprise return in the #9 position from back on March 13th.  If you’ve missed any of the following, now’s your chance to get caught up ...

First though, because it was only just a few reads back from making it into the Top 10, I’m going to include John Rustad at #11 with this post; “Zero Emission Vehicles? BC collects significant gasoline taxes which pays for transit as well as road maintenance and upgrades. If nobody is buying gasoline, how will this bill be paid”


#10 ... IAN C. MacLeod -- If lying and undeliverable promises are what the voters will reward, the politicians will deliver!


#9 ... “CANADA’S ENERGY CITIZENS:  We wanted to show you a headline from this morning”


#8 ... STEWART MUIR -- Waterfront spill response demonstration shows current state of preparation

  
#7 ... DAN ALBAS -- The same safety conditions the Prime Minister trusts in one geographic region, can be equally provided in another ... so why a proposed ban in one region and not the other?


#6 ... The Yes to TMX campaign is an Alberta Government initiative. The TMX pipeline is supported by Canadians—including industry and First Nations—across the country


#5 ... ADAM OLSEN -- The federal and provincial governments soak up the attention of multi-million-dollar announcements. If they’re unwilling however to make the tough decisions on aquaculture license holders, then it’s a waste of money


#4 ... It seems that governments across Canada continue to talk about freer trade, but talk is all it ever seems to end up being ... will this be the beginning of it coming about?


#3 ... Premier Jason Kenney issued the following statement on recent developments in the Senate on Bill C-48, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act and Bill C-69, the Impact Assessment Act


#2 ... FORSETH:  We also lost the richness of what their lives, should they have been different, would have contributed to society


And finally, we come to the top story of the week ... #1 ... written by Ernie Beadle

“In defence of your position, I totally agree we need gun control, however that control already exists, and it is very stringent on who can own a gun and who can’t”

Thanks for joining us this week.  Just a reminder again that if there is anyone you feel might be interested in checking out these commentaries, please pass this email on too them.  Got a story idea?  Please take a moment to pass it along. 

Bye for now ... as I need to get ready to join my grandson for a trip to the Kangaroo farm ... have a great week.

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...

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...

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...
