“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 WAY I SEE IT -- Climate-change strategy offers Scheer a way to win election


Ignoring political correctness, climate change hysteria and telling the truth should not be a novel concept.

No Canadian government will have the slightest effect on climate change. Whether we shut down all use of carbon-based energy sources and freeze in the dark or fully develop our energy resources, our climate will continue to change.

We can mitigate effects of climate change by not building housing and commercial buildings below recorded high water marks during previous floods and harvesting wide swaths of forest to minimize wildfire spread. Blaming climate change for bad planning and inaction is dishonest.

As the federal election approaches, the Liberal government’s
record has become increasingly more difficult to defend.

 So how does a government that can’t campaign on its record go about
gaining re-election? By building its campaign around an issue where voters
 can see them as heroes fighting to save the planet against uncaring opponents.
That issue is climate change and their weapon to fight it is carbon taxation.

We have suffered 40 years of dire warnings since the first global warming conference was held in Geneva, Switzerland in February 1979. None of the changes have occurred on the scale predicted. Each year the warnings of doom are more far-fetched and hysterical. Global warming is not taking place as predicted.

The problem with IPCC global warming predictions is that they are fictitious. Global warming does not drive climate change. Global warming is a by-product of climate change. Man-made global warming is a ridiculous theory concocted to justify transferring wealth to the third world.

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...
