PECKFORD -- Now that he is going to stay, and not go to Barbados, what other ‘diction gems’ will be thrust upon us

Former Newfoundland Labrador
Premier Brian Peckford

Now we have it ...

... the answer was there all the time; ‘Infrastructure Disruptions’ and ‘Incident Response Team’

Sure ... how stupid are we?

Just call a committee (now there’s a Canadian word for you) an ‘Incident Response Team’, and the problem an ‘infrastructure disruption’, and presto, our protests and law breaking are almost over ... at least that’s what our Princeling (Justin Trudeau) is saying.

This is becoming so ridiculous, as the political correctness goes in overdrive. We have this excuse for a Prime Minister, who flies in from Senegal, to utter these words.

Now that he is going to stay, and not go to Barbados, what other ‘diction gems’ will be thrust upon us?  Our language will be greatly enhanced with his presence; you think?

Just ‘infrastructure disruptions’; is that right Mr. PM?

No, its not!


It is indigenous protests closing down large swaths of our railway system, and court injunctions being ignored, and announcements of people signalled to be laid off.

An ‘Incident Response Team’ ... can you believe it? Do you think ‘emergency’ should enter the picture? Perhaps even ‘crisis’?

Shouldn’t the full cabinet of the Government be involved? Or does the Cabinet really exist anymore, as it seems the Prime Ministers Office (PMO) rules everything these days.

Shouldn’t there be a designated debate in Parliament, about what’s happening in our country, as laws and injunctions are callously being violated?

Is this a Parliament Democracy?

Is this a representative and responsible form of Government?

One would think the lowly Members of Parliament from all sides of the House would get up enough courage to demand a debate in Parliament.

The week is not starting off very well.

“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
