“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

FORSETH: It shows, once again, that political parties are run by a select few at the top, with little influence by rank and file members


Regrettably, at least in my opinion, a hatchet job was done on Andrew Scheer, to force him from his role as leader of Conservative Party of Canada.
 
I too, like many others, was disappointed at the results of Octobers federal election, and I also believed that those who were in charge of the direction and tone of the campaign, did a poor job of forming a response to questions of Scheer’s personal beliefs, versus those the party would govern by if elected. 

Yes, I know it’s easy to be an armchair quarterback,, but the results of the campaign speak for themselves – another term for the Liberals for as long as their minority government lasts.

The fact that underhanded maneuvering, by some at the top, forced Andrew Scheer to set in place a new leadership campaign is, to say the least, disappointing.

It shows, once again, that political parties are run by a select few at the top, with little influence by rank and file members. Regardless, the die has been cast, and this is where things now sit for the Conservatives. 

In a message to party members this morning, about the up-coming leadership election, Andrew Scheer stated;



As our party begins to embark on this exciting opportunity, electing a new leader, my only ask to my fellow Conservatives is this: we must stay united. 

Our Conservative team is always stronger when we are united. When fiscal conservatives, red Tories, social conservatives, libertarians, Quebec nationalists, conservatives in rural Canada and urban Canada, and east and west come together, great things happen. 

Only by staying united can we deliver a strong Conservative majority government that can unite our country and make life better for all Canadians, for the oil worker out of a job, for the senior who is choosing between heating and eating, and for Canada’s position on the world stage. 

And in a class act, he also noted; 

I believe in this party. I believe in our movement. I believe that we will be the government after the next election.

PLEASE ... no more talk of Christy Clark
as a possible leadership candidate!!!
And furthermore, that; 

Whoever the hundreds of thousands of Conservatives across this country choose to lead our party into the next election, that person will have my 100 percent support.

Let the race begin, and let the people who wish to lead the party truly express, and articulate, their vision for the future of the Conservatives. 

I know it’s a long-shot it would ever happen, however, please ... Please ... PLEASE ... can we end any further talk of Christy Clark as a potential leader!

Thousands, myself included, will tear up our membership cards, in disgust, should she ever run and win!

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...
