“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.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story
