“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

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.

Abbotsford-Mission MLA Reann Gasper to step down for Conservative Leader Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay to run in a by-election

Deputy Whip and MLA Reann Gasper has informed the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia of her decision to step down as MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, creating an opportunity for Conservative Party of British Columbia Leader Hon.

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...
