“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.

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
