“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

So once more, in Donald Trumps eyes, we’re pulling our weight. Trump changes his mind more times than Justin Trudeau changes his socks

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Donald
Trump at NATO meeting on December 3rd

MAKE OF IT WHAT YOU WILL ... however, today Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with United States of America President Donald Trump.

According to the Prime Ministers Office, Trudeau and Trump reaffirmed their support for the new North American Free Trade Agreement which supports millions of jobs in Canada, the US, and Mexico. The two leaders welcomed the work towards its ratification in all three countries.


  • I have to wonder what’s talking so long to have three people sign a document already agreed to?  It’s no wonder nothing ever gets done, or at least its painfully slow, when it comes to governments at all levels


The Prime Minister and President discussed the importance of the NATO Alliance for international peace and security as well as the indispensable Canada - US partnership for the defense of North America. The President noted Canada’s contributions to NATO missions including in Iraq, Latvia, and Romania.

  • Oh so once more, in Donald Trumps eyes, we’re pulling our weight.  Trump changes his mind more times than Justin Trudeau changes his socks.


The two leaders also discussed relations with China ... 


The President agreed with Canada’s position on the ongoing arbitrary detention of two Canadians in China and said Canada and the US would continue to work on this together.

The Prime Minister and President agreed to keep in touch and to strengthen their close cooperation.


  • I’ll keep close eyes on Donald Trumps Twitter account to see how well that continues as it seems to change from day to day – or is it hour by hour?
I don't know about you, but some how I just don't feel confident about the long-term outcomes of much when Trudeau and Trump meet. Do you think Justin has the authority and power to influence Trump?

No? Well I didn't think so either.

NDP Sits on $61 Million With No Start Date for Burnaby Hospital

Phase 2 of Burnaby Hospital redevelopment  was green lit to go ahead in September 2023 The NDP spent $45 million on the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment, cancelled the second phase, and now has another $61 million listed for the project in the province’s Public Accounts, with no start date for construction. If the NDP cancelled the project, what is happening to the $61 million set aside for it? The Phase 2 project was expected to cost between $1.7 billion and $1.8 billion and was intended to expand the hospital’s capacity. With Burnaby’s population growing and residents struggling to access healthcare, the government should be investing in healthcare capacity, not leaving millions of dollars tied up in limbo. “The NDP spent $45 million on this project before cancelling it, and now $61 million remains listed for it in the Public Accounts,” said MLA Misty Van Popta, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure. “If the government isn’t going to build the hospital expansion, it should explain whe...

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...
