“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

IT’S DAY SEVEN ... a look back at the Top Ten stories and commentaries for the week of May 26th to June 1st


Good afternoon friends ...

Another week has passed, and were have seen much from the world of politics that either has had, or possibly will have, an influence on our lives.  As just one individual curating columns for the blog, it can often take several hours each day to put this site together ... and regrettably there is much that I am unable to get to.  I do my best however, and I hope that they various writers, all with different thoughts and opinions, give you food for thought.

Now with the first of two posts ... here is Green Party MLA Adam Olsen:

#10 ... ADAM OLSEN -- The quality of the output is the result of the quality of the input.  Let's look at healthcare through this lens


#9 ... ADAM OLSEN -- It's a bad situation. There is a looming environmental, social and economic disaster


#8 ... GARRET SEINEN -- Moral outrage at violations of the constitution is the debt we owe to brave souls, who defied the whip and sword, to make the free world we have today ... a debt we take for granted at our peril


#7 ... FELDSTED -- The vendors products and services may be inferior, but we are distracted from examining that. It is insidious, but it works


#6 ... 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


#5 ... FORSETH -- It’s taken long enough for Wilkinson’ Liberals to acknowledge this ... perhaps now is the time for he and Bolin to sit down and discuss what electoral financing reform should look like


#4 ... INSPIRED BY A VETERAN -- Message to Veterans Affairs Canada: These are Veterans of D-Day; NO day is too long for Remembrance


#3 ... FELDSTED -- Trudeau and cabinet have taken to using the royal “we” more and more - WE find, WE think, WE believe, as in ‘WE like to use the term ‘people kind’. Poppycock! It is an insidious way of self-aggrandization


#2 ... FELSTED:  A government chasing elusive dreams and ideology instead of paying attention to its responsibilities drives me to distraction

And now we come to the most read opinion piece over the past 7 days

#1 ... BERNIER -- I need to apologize to all of my children for allowing them to start jobs at an early age - to try and learn the value of earning your way in life - and learning responsibility


Thanks again for talking the time to check out the blog, the stories, the thoughts and opinions.  As long as there’s readers, it will continue.

Take care ... and we’ll begin again tomorrow afresh, and anew.

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
