“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.

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...
