“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.

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
