“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.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

Kamloops woman’s cancer test cancelled due to Interior Health mandates for OB/GYNs (iNFO News)

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift. Troylana Manson now waits with the mystery of whether she might have cancer amid a staffing crisis for women’s health care specialists in Kamloops. “I was happy to have that appointment in December so we could rule this out, but now it’s thrown in the air again. People in Kamloops, certainly people in positions of power, need to realize what Interior Health is doing”  ... CLICK HERE for the full story
