“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.

THE WAY I SEE IT -- Trudeau lecturing on the arts of balance and compromise is hilarious, ironic and perfectly normal – for an egotistical, schizophrenic, totalitarian sociopath, says Feldsted

Trudeau stresses balancing economy, environment during brief Calgary Stampede visit

By Lauren Krugel ~~ The Canadian Press / Global News ~~ July 13, 2019


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told Liberal supporters their party is best positioned to get major projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion built because it’s able to take “difficult compromise positions” between growing the economy and protecting the environment.

Trudeau made the remarks at a donor reception Saturday during his annual Calgary Stampede visit, which included fewer public events than in the past.

“Compromise is actually harder and more courageous than sitting on one end of an issue, crossing your arms and saying ‘I’m standing on my principles and I’m not moving,’ because that doesn’t actually require you to listen to another point of view,” he said at a cafe on the 21st floor of a downtown office tower.

Trudeau lecturing on the arts of balance and compromise is hilarious, ironic and perfectly normal – for an egotistical, schizophrenic, totalitarian sociopath. His self-portrayal as captain courageous is not the picture we have of his past four years.

Declaring climate change to be a national emergency is not a logical or rational decision.

Employing a universal carbon tax and demanding that provinces comply or face having the tax federally imposed is not a compromise.

Trudeau needs to sit down with Catherine McKenna and explain that she is losing her position as environment minister as she is unwilling to engage in compromise, refuses to consider other opinions and her view is not balanced between the economy and environment.

Imposing ridiculously severe environmental laws is not balanced or reasonable. Imposing environmental laws without extensive consultations with the provinces is not a compromise position.

Trudeau recently accused premiers who have gone to court to challenge his carbon tax legislation of playing political games when that is all he and his advisors in the PMO do.

It is frightening that Trudeau is expressing how others should deal with conflicting issues but he has no intention of following those rules. It’s a classic example of “do as I say, not as I do”. Only someone with severe personality disorders expects to get away with this blatant deception.

RCMP gag order comes after BC NDP catch heat for diverted safe supply (Northern Beat)

In the wake of several high-profile police drug seizures of suspected safer supply that put the BC NDP government on the defensive last month, BC RCMP “E” division issued a gag order on detachments, directing them to run all communications on “hot button” public safety issues through headquarters in the lead-up to the provincial election. “It is very clear we are in a pre-election time period and the topic of ‘public safety’ is very much an issue that governments and voters are discussing,” writes a senior RCMP communications official in an email dated Mar. 11 in what appears to have gone out to all BC RCMP detachments . . . .

KRUGELL: BC NDP turns its attention from BC United to BC Conservatives

The BC NDP turning its attention, from BC United, to BC Conservatives was reported over the weekend from a variety of sources. It is the result of the surge in the BC Conservative's polling numbers and the subsequent collapse of BC United. The NDP has largely ignored the BC Conservatives, instead they opt to talk about issues directly or attack their old foes BC United. Practical politics says that parties closer to the centre tend to ultimately prevail over the long haul. They do wane but often make comebacks. A good example is the federal Liberals going from third party to government in 2015. Centrism has a lot of appeal on voting day. The NDP shifting its fire from United to Conservative is a reflection of reality. BC United did buy advertising online and radio over the last few months. Did that shift the polls back to them? Nope. The reality is today, the BC Conservatives are the party of the Opposition, and day by day the Conservatives are looking like a party not ready to fig

Baldrey: 2024 meets 1991? How B.C. election history could repeat itself (Times Colonist)

NOTE ... not the original image from Keith Baldrey's op/ed 1991 BC general election -- Wikipedia   A veteran NDP cabinet minister stopped me in the legislature hallway last week and revealed what he thinks is the biggest vulnerability facing his government in the fall provincial election. It’s not housing, health care, affordability or any of the other hot button issues identified by pollsters. "I think we are way too complacent,” he told me. “Too many people on our side think winning elections are easy.” He referenced the 1991 election campaign as something that could repeat itself. What was supposed to be an easy NDP victory then almost turned into an upset win for the fledgling BC Liberal Party. Indeed, the parallels between that campaign and the coming fall contest are striking ... CLICK HERE for the full story
