“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 ending Saturday June 22nd


Once again, another week has ended ... a week that saw 22 stories posted from the writers who share their though and opinions here.

Sunday’s the day I check to see what ended up being the Top Ten most read -- I hope if you missed any of them, you’ll take a moment to read them as well.  Now ... let’s get underway with #10


#10 ... June 19th
MP Cathy McLeod -- Conservative Plan lowers global emissions with our core promise of leaving more money in Canadians’ pockets, and helping them get ahead

Horgan states, “Everyone in the Peace region agrees that we need to recover our caribou herds and protect local jobs” ... at least a few are disagreeing with that statement however

It looks to me like Justin Trudeau’s feds ponied up with more money – and then provincial government pretty much took the increased money away


#5 ... June 18th
I doubt many believe the fight over the Trans Mountain Pipeline has ended, but everyday Canadians are getting louder in insisting they be heard on this matter.  Heard over the chattering nattering of Chicken Little environmentalists


#4 ... June 21st
If Simpson says the days of bullying people into silence, by calling them names is over, then why is she bullying - threatening - reprimanding – and arguing against a select group of people being able to have the same human rights as all Canadians
#3 ... June 17th
BC NDP Premier John Horgan is wondering why forestry companies are closing and leaving the country. “Figure it out John, because you are hurting families”


#2 ... June 19th
DAN ALBAS -- For the record, a resolution of the House is defined as a “declaration of opinion or purpose; it does not require that any action be taken, nor is it binding”


#1 ... June 19th
Honestly though John ... and to anyone ready this, it doesn't matter who started it -- it's bullshit and it should stop


Two posts this week almost made it in to the Top Ten ... but not quite.  They were:

#11 ... from June 22nd
The version of Bill C-69, that finally passed through with 99 amendments at the end, still omitted key changes that would have made this a step forward for the Canadian economy

And, from June 18th here’s  #12 ...
Aaron Gunn – Quebec’s politicians can’t keep having it both ways -- blocking construction of pipelines from Western Canada, while at the same time collecting equalization from the rest of the country


That’s it for this week ... thanks for staying with me on this journey ... and remember your thoughts are welcome anytime in the Comments section below each and every story that appears in the blog.

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
