“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

The late Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau stoked the flames of western alienation, and spurred talk of separation, years ago – it seems perhaps Justin is unknowingly, or knowingly, headed down the same path


As I mentioned in a post yesterday, the Province newspaper ran a story with regards to the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) convention. In the piece written by Mike Smyth he stated:

British Columbia’s mayors and councillors will gather once again this fall at the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

And, when they do, they will once again be wined and dined at a fancy reception put on by the People’s Republic of China.

Meanwhile, as municipal politicians mingle with Chinese power players, the UBCM will be cashing a cheque from the Chinese consulate in Vancouver.

I spoke with Kamloops Thompson Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod this afternoon, and asked her about her thoughts, with regards to the Chinese government reception and sponsorship.

“In terms of the issue of UBCM typically I believe in respecting the different jurisdictions of government, but I’m sure glad that the one mayor (Brad West of Port Coquitlam) has raised significant concerns.  I think the Union of BC Municipalities need to reflect carefully on what they’re doing, and why they’re doing it”, Cathy indicated.

Then of course, since the reception issue raised its head through the letter addressed to the UBCM by Port Coquitlam May Brad West, and other issue with China has come about – that of Canadian beef.

About that, Conservative MP McLeod commented, “Of course we see another move in terms of Canada’s beef and this is starting to have significant and negative on our country”.

Such a significant negative impact on our country that the Government of Canada Media Room doesn’t have ONE SINGLE STORY about this, and what they are doing to resolve it.

Resolving it requires boots on the ground, however as McLeod stated, “Justin Trudeau's still has not got an ambassador in place and it’s six month later, and you need someone on the ground to be dealing with all of these different issues”. 

This is just my own personal thought; however, the Canola issue is one affecting
The late Pierre Elliot Trudeau re-working the Canadian flag
Western Canada … much of the pork ban affects Western Canada … most of the now just imposed beef ban impacts Western Canada … China’s ban of peas and soy beans greatly impacts Western Canada.

It seems like Liberal Prime Minister has virtually written off Western Canada in the next election – and will do what he has to (ie: pander) so that he can garner a majority (if possible) of votes from his home province of Quebec, as well as Ontario, and the Maritimes, in hope of having at least a minority government come Octobers election.

Like Father, like Son. The late Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau stoked the flames of western alienation, and spurred talk of separation, years ago.  It now seems that perhaps Justin is either unknowingly, or knowingly, headed down the same path.

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...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...

FORSETH: That, to me, sure seems to fit with narcissistic personality disorder – AND - a definite sense of self entitlement

I think most people are aware of why England’s Henry the 8th created the Church of England. It was out of a belief that he should be able to do anything he wanted. And what did he want?  It was a male heir that would follow him and, at his death, become the next King of England.   His marriage to Catherine had not produced one, so he demanded the Pope to allow him to divorce her.  The Pope of course refused so Henry created his own church, and declared himself the "Supreme Head of the Church of England", thereby allowing him to annul the marriage. In other words, he wanted his own way, and because he had the ultimate power in England, he forced his will over the church. Many (most?) would say people suffer like that from 'narcissistic personality disorder'. The Mayo Clinic says, “ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are e...
