“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

FELDSTED -- Our government is blissfully unaware (or ignores) the hypocrisy and severe damage to our economy


Oil companies persuade states to make pipeline protests a felony
By Bloomberg ~~ Aug. 19, 2019

After protesters disrupted construction of an oil pipeline in North Dakota by chaining themselves to construction equipment and pitching tents along the route, oil and chemical companies found a way to keep it from happening again; they made it a crime ...

... Bills criminalizing trespassing near oil pipelines, gas processing equipment and other designated “critical infrastructure” passed this year in Indiana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas -- building on similar measures previously enacted in Oklahoma and other states ... now pushing to create infrastructure protest laws in Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

American oil duplicity and hypocrisy
     
American oil companies have successfully managed to make pipeline protests unlawful in some parts of the USA. At the same time, they are funding pipeline protesters in Canada to do exactly what they are prohibiting in the USA.

Our government is blissfully unaware (or ignores) the hypocrisy and severe damage to our economy.

We are led by ideological moron’s incapable of questioning the climate change scam. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) theories cannot withstand critical scrutiny by qualified scientists. The evidence grows daily.
     
Canadian pipeline protests are politically and economically motivated. The objective is to protect the American economy at the cost of Canada’s economy. We need to:

  1. Shut down American funded NGOs creating and funding protest groups;
  2. Make pipeline protests that endanger infrastructure unlawful;
  3. Build a robust petroleum development and processing infrastructure throughout Canada; and
  4. When we are ready, turn off the taps to pipelines that feed into the USA.

     
American and eastern Canadian corporations have held sway for far too long. Canada must be governed for the benefit of all of Canada. Our governments have to adhere to the principle of equal opportunity for all Canadians irrespective of domicile. Their mandate to provide essential services, not to engage in social engineering.

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
