“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

And this comment, from MLA Todd Stone, pretty much sums things up .... “It’s complete amateur hour in NDP land folks”


Many, like me, woke up this morning and wondered .... WHAT THE HELL WENT ON last night at the BC Legislature?

From everything I’ve seen and read this morning, it sounds like Scott Fraser (NDP Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation), made a huge mistake by inviting in a bunch of misguided, uneducated, and ill-informed individuals to talk(?) about a situation which is ...



.... over one thousand, one hundred, kilometres away -- near the community of Houston ...



I doubt if many (if any) of those individuals -- who created havoc in the legislature -- have even been to the area, or even have any family members living there.



Last night, they showed their true colours as hooligans, as these first hand accounts show; they are only a few of many!



Ellis Ross ~~ MLA for the riding of Skeena

Last night at the Legislature was wild. MLAs and ministers can bring guests into the legislature, but to bring in protesters, and put legislature security people and legislature staff, in a bad situation is unacceptable. The people’s legislature is closed to the people but protesters are allowed in?



Mike Bernier ~~ MLA for the riding of Peace River South

Well that was the craziest night I have had at the Legislature. Wow!!!  All I can say is what is wrong with people?  You have no idea what you are talking about or protesting, and have zero regard for society and the rule of law. I am embarrassed for BC and Canada as this is not who we are I thought. Horgan and Trudeau need to man up and do something about this!!  Sorry Valerie you got stuck in that mess!!



These self-styled, modern day, Chev Guevara guerilla revolutionaries live in relative comfort (when not protesting on the steps of, or storming in, the legislature) ... rather than on reserve where life can be hard, work is scarce, and those amenities often times are not found.



Laurie Throness ~~ MLA for the riding of Chilliwack - Kent

Tonight, the NDP Minister for Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation let protesters into the building to talk and they wouldn't leave. Police came to the building to arrest some people, but they can't get them out because hundreds of people are blocking the doors. Our Legislature is in complete lockdown and we may not be able to have Parliament tomorrow.



Note the Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffees, the plastic rope, gasoline jerry cans,
plastic totes, comfortable metal frame chairs, 2 by 4's and plywood
perhaps cut from old-growth forests, and of course the large plastic tarp
Todd Stone ~~ MLA for the riding of Kamloops South Thompson

Last night, against the advice of security professionals, NDP Minister Scott Fraser brought radical agitators INTO the Legislature, who then refused to leave. What foolish and reckless judgement by Fraser.



Illegal protests, blockades, propane tanks and open fires on the steps of B.C.’s Legislature for weeks now - it all needs to end, but it probably won’t anytime soon because while Premier John Horgan talks tough, his government continues to play footsie with radical agitators.



This comment, from MLA Todd Stone, pretty much sums things up .... “It’s complete amateur hour in NDP land folks”



WHEN, pray tell, is the provincial government of Premier John Horgan going to state – UNEQUIVOCALLY – that enough is enough?



Contempt for the law only breeds more contempt, and these hooligans will simply continue to flaunt and openly challenge authority – for them it’s a game they are playing, under the guise of standing in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en.



WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!



Oh ... and one final thing ...



These self-styled, modern day, Chev Guevara guerilla revolutionaries live in relative comfort (when not protesting on the steps of, or storming in, the legislature) enjoying all of the amenities of the cities and communities they have chosen to live in – including housing, jobs and education (if they want them), and of course their favorite caffeine beverage drink in a wax lined paper cup with plastic lid --- rather than on reserve where life can be hard, work is scarce, and those amenities often times are not found.


They are clueless about reality, and their obstructionist ways must end.

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

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...
