“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

She's not afraid to speak out, and she says what many are thinking, which is why I hope she will indeed enter the race


In a news story in the Western Standard this morning, Calgary Nose Hill Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said  ... she plans to ask the leadership organizing committee to disqualify (Richard) Decarie.

“If he had made those statements as a candidate during the federal election he would have been turfed, so why should he be allowed to run?” she said.

I for one believe this IS good news for the health, and the future, of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Calgary Conservative MP Michelle Rempel said to be concerned the West won’t be represented by those who are now in the running

As for possible plans to seek the leadership of the party by running as a candidate in the race to succeed Andrew Scheer?  Well Michelle Rempel is still playing her cards close.

In that same Western Standard news story, they stated she is ... still debating whether or not to join the federal Tory leadership race.  It also went on to say that she has ... concerns of the West won’t be represented by those who are now in the running.

I like Rempel ... and I think many in the west do as well ... however I’m not so sure of those east of the Saskatchewan / Manitoba border.

She's not afraid to speak out ... 


... and she says what many are thinking ... which is why I hope she will indeed enter the race.

I also have concerns about the ever-shrinking list of potential candidates now that both Pierre Poilievre (Conservative finance critic), and now retired former Interim Leader Rona Ambrose, have bowed out.

Given the popularity of Ambrose and Poilievre the $300,000 entry fee, to run for the leadership, likely had little to play in their decisions, but it may be impacting others who have been considering.

There’s one thing about this leadership race for me however ... I wish media would STOP bringing up Christy Clark's name, which just happened again, in of all places, an Alberta newspaper. They thought this just might be a good idea for the Conservative Party.

As far as I, and many others are concerned, she should stay retired!

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

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...
