“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

While Liberals and their supporters try and paint the Conservatives as the party of old white men - relics of a social age long past - candidates like Claire Rattée are proving them wrong



CBC NEWS says ... Laval MP Eva Nassif 'pushed out' by Liberal Party, riding president says ... and the riding president says outgoing Liberal MP was pushed out of office without explanation  (August 24th). 

The entire executive in the riding was "stunned'' by the recent developments, he said.



And in a post to her Twitter account, Laval Liberal MP Eva Nassif, from the riding of Vimy said:

“La fin d’un merveilleux chapitre  / The end of a wonderful chapter”

The following images are the two-page letter that Eva Lassif wrote to her constituents ... and to her fellow MPs ... with an explanation:

 






It seem, that our so-called ‘feminist’ Prime Minister is having a hard time keeping women MP’s on Team Trudeau. A number have either left the party ranks, are retiring, or have been kicked out, including Caesar- Chavannes, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Jane Philpott, and Pamela Goldsmith-Jones to name just a few.

Meantime a June 26th National Post article notes that more women are running for the Conservatives led by Andrew Scheer -- Conservative candidates like tattoo artist Claire Rattée represent the party's effort to put forward a younger, more female face:

... she confirmed that approaching the Tories was entirely her own initiative. She submitted her nomination package having been inspired by people like longtime Conservative MP Michelle Rempel, somebody to whom she felt she could relate.

“I want to give other people somebody to relate to,” she said. As far as the party seeming to recruit a younger, more female roster, Rattée said, “I think personally that they are doing an excellent job of it. But I don’t think that it is something that they necessarily set out to do.”

In what looks like a tight race to a majority government, Scheer’s Conservatives are attracting, and assembling, a bright new group of candidates -- with no restrictions on the boundaries of social, ethnic, sexuality, and religious confines -- ready to take the reins of power in the halls of Parliament after October 21st.

Which means while the Liberal Party and its supporters try and paint the federal Conservatives as the party of old white men, and relics of a social age long past, candidates such as Claire Rattée are proving them wrong.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

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...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
