“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.

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
