“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.

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...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...

FORSETH: That, to me, sure seems to fit with narcissistic personality disorder – AND - a definite sense of self entitlement

I think most people are aware of why England’s Henry the 8th created the Church of England. It was out of a belief that he should be able to do anything he wanted. And what did he want?  It was a male heir that would follow him and, at his death, become the next King of England.   His marriage to Catherine had not produced one, so he demanded the Pope to allow him to divorce her.  The Pope of course refused so Henry created his own church, and declared himself the "Supreme Head of the Church of England", thereby allowing him to annul the marriage. In other words, he wanted his own way, and because he had the ultimate power in England, he forced his will over the church. Many (most?) would say people suffer like that from 'narcissistic personality disorder'. The Mayo Clinic says, “ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are e...
