“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 -- The Trudeau Liberals are at it again – encouraging social discord


There are minorities at both ends of the abortion debate spectrum. A rational debate on abortion is not possible as neither side will allow deviation from their radical positions. No political response or position will satisfy both as they deal in stark black and white.
  
"My views have evolved," Goodale says today.

That is classic answer avoidance. Evolved to what? He doesn’t say, while demanding that Scheer should do so; leftist double standards in play.

Much the same applies to gay marriage. The minority of radicals who refuse to accept that gay people are an integral part of our society and have been for millennia are offset by radicals who insist we must promote gay life as an alternative to heterosexuality.

A person is gay or not gay. A tiny minority within that minority are omnisexual and don’t care about the gender of a lover. That too is as old as dirt.

The Liberal inference that a conservative MP may introduce a private member’s bill on these issues is disgusting. Any MP can introduce a pro-abortion or same-sex bill that will create as much controversy as a restrictive measure. The topics are toxic.

The objective of raising these issues is to distract us from election issues that really matter.

Goodale’s tweet of an old Scheer same-sex marriage speech is the equivalent of tossing a fistful of sunflower seeds in a flock of geese. Both the mainstream and social media leapt on this non-issue and the distraction appears to be working.

Are we really that blind to political manipulation?

Most of us see cynical hypocrisy for what it is. Ralph Goodale and Justin Trudeau are fighting for their political lives. Trudeau’s Achilles’ heel is that he cannot believe that every other party leader is not equally intent on thrusting his personal views and ideology on the Canadian people.

Scheer has not signaled such an intention. What we see is what we get – a middle class father of five with no personal fortune, and no major connections to the wealthy and powerful. He has survived in the highly partisan and brutal world in the Ottawa bubble. He senses that Canada is not yet ready for the drastic changes proposed by Maxime Bernier, but that may change in time.

Those who are disgruntled with Scheer’s modest approach have a PPC alternative.

Be wary of the Greens. Elizabeth May is Marxist; anti-business, anti-capitalism and anti-wealth. Trudeau and May share the same view of environmental issues. They have no interest in making a greener Canada. They see environmental law as levers to coerce Canadians into submitting to ideals that neither hold and both view environmentalism as a route to increased political power over Canadians rather than as a benefit for Canadians.

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
