“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

Canada’s Energy Citizens has kicked off their Vote Energy pledge for the upcoming federal election scheduled for this October


“This is a critical moment for our country’s economic future, Canada’s Energy Citizens”, stated last Friday. “We can either support one of the world’s most responsible energy producers, or lose good jobs and billions in investment to other countries with weaker environmental standards”.

Putting in place the right conditions to support our energy sector, is what is needed so that all Canadians will benefit -- whether it’s in new jobs, increased opportunities for indigenous communities and businesses, new investments in local communities or increased revenues to all levels of government to support things like new roads, hospitals and schools.

“With the right policies, Canada can see an extra $45.4 billion in economic activity over the next decade. That will help create more than 120,000 new jobs or indirect jobs!”

Canada’s Energy Citizens are asking all Canadians to take the pledge to help show all candidates running for office, in this Fall’s federal election, just how much Canadians support the good jobs and high environmental standards advanced by our energy sector.

Below are some of the policies which Canada’s Energy Citizens think are important for Canada’s government to advance after the next election.



To help Canada achieve its full potential, we need policies that include, but are not limited to:

  • Supporting completion of currently proposed major pipeline projects and actively support development of additional projects;

  • Repealing Bill C-48 and fixing Bill C-69;

  • Supplying Canada’s domestic oil and natural gas needs with domestic production, in particular by facilitating transportation of oil and natural gas from Western Canada in Central and Atlantic Canada;

  • Increasing the participation of Indigenous communities and businesses in Canada’s oil and natural gas sector;

  • Creating and support the conditions to complete four major LNG projects, on Canada’s West and East Costs;

  • Ensuring Canada’s offshore sector remains globally competitive; and,

  • Withdrawing the proposed Clean Fuel Standard in its entirety, as it will increase costs to both industry and Canadians.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
