“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

Globe and Mail says Trudeau is ... a Canadian brand that’s up there with canoes and beavers – one carefully built for his millions of social-media followers


While one political party has stated that Justin Trudeau is ‘not as advertised’, what does the media have to say?  One thing is undeniable, the Trudeau brand is definitely tarnished.


August 15th, 2019 ... “Trudeau vs. Dion: How the PM and ethics commissioner differ on the SNC-Lavalin affair”


... February 7th the Globe and Mail broke the story that Trudeau's office had tried to pressure Wilson-Raybould to intervene in the corruption and fraud prosecution of SNC-Lavalin ... Trudeau reacted saying the allegations were "false" ... insisted neither he nor any of his staff "directed" Wilson-Raybould to intervene in the case ... (Ethics Commissioner) report, Dion found four significant attempts by Trudeau and staff to influence Wilson-Raybould, through tactics he found "troubling" ...


October 13th, 2011 ... “The intensity, the excitement of being in the middle of a political campaign — it’s heavy, it’s fun stuff,” started Trudeau. “There’s pizza, sex and all sorts of fun things.”

... It was one of several lighter moments in a student town hall session ...



October 1st, 2019 ... “Justin Trudeau’s Spectacular Self-Destruction”

... when the SNC-Lavalin scandal struck, Trudeau had no political capital left to fight it.  Although Trudeau insisted he was protecting jobs, his handling of the affair disappointed many who had voted for a different kind of politics in 2015. Wilson-Raybould and another cabinet minister, Jane Philpott, were booted from the Liberal caucus. Trudeau’s oldest and closest advisor, Butts, was forced to step down ...


October 1st, 2019 ... “Why do the rules of politics not apply to Justin Trudeau? Because he’s a celebrity first”

... it would be easy to chalk this up (black / brown face) to his famous last name. But that would cheapen the sustained effort that went into building a Canadian brand that’s up there with canoes and beavers – one carefully built for his millions of social-media followers ... politics may not be the best lens through which to see Mr. Trudeau. In a way, that’s merely what he does for a living. Instead, he is a celebrity ...


October 7th, 2019 ... “Trudeau is rumored to be in talks with an accuser to suppress an explosive sex scandal”

... Trudeau’s accuser is said to be a former student at West Point Grey Academy and the daughter of a wealthy Canadian businessman.  Sources tell The Chronicle that she is being represented by counsel and is being offered monetary compensation in exchange for a pending, but not yet signed, non-disclosure agreement ...



... a new poll looking at the virtues of the political leaders spells bad news for Justin Trudeau. Of all the politicians, the Liberal leader was found to be the most elitist, hypocritical and fake by the Leger online poll. And when it came to honesty, straight-forwardness and trustworthiness, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer scored better than Trudeau ...


September 19th, 2019 ... “The Ironic Inversion of Justin Trudeau's Progressive Brand Is Complete. The prime minister promised he was a different kind of rich, white politician”

... it isn’t clear where the federal election campaign goes from here. Trudeau’s personal brand has taken a beating over the last year, but the brownface and blackface photos represent perhaps the final inversion of the persona sold to Canadians. There is no “good” way to handle the sudden exposure of racist photos, but certainly an especially bad way is when you have been baying for blood over similar sins from your moral high horse and then you’re pleading special treatment when you’re suddenly trampled under its feet ...


July 8th, 2018 ... “Justin Trudeau ‘apologised after groping me’ says ex-reporter at heart of scandal”

... Rose Knight confirmed a newspaper report that said Trudeau apologised for the 2000 incident, and said he wouldn’t have been ‘so forward’ if he’d known she was a reporter ...


September 19th, 2019 ... “Tarnished world image may finally doom Trudeau”

... Trudeau stonewalled the RCMP, who are considering a formal obstruction of justice investigation in the SNC-Lavalin case. Several damning facts about that sordid story are undeniable ... he deliberately didn’t tell Canadians the truth ... put relentless pressure on then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to help a company accused of bribery and financial fraud avoid a criminal trial, then demoted her and kicked her and Jane Philpott out of the Liberal caucus ...


This very brief listing of news stories is barely the tip of the iceberg.  Go ahead and see for yourself – just type Justin Trudeau in a Google search. I'd recommend doing it before you cast your ballot however, especially if you're still an undecided voter.

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...
