“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

From an armchair discussion, to a roundtable ... our Prime Minister certainly leads an exiting life



THIS JUST IN ... (mix in the sounds and effects of clattering typewriters)

Tomorrow morning at 9:45am, according to the Prime Ministers Office, Justin Trudeau will participate in an armchair discussion with representatives of SheEO ventures. 

Also attending this armchair discussion will be the Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade Mary Ng.

I’m guess that an armchair discussion is pretty loose -- kind of like sitting around the kitchen table, having a few beers, and sorting out the ills of the world.

This event will be Open Coverage, rather than just for those designed as “Accredited”

Here’s what I truly found interesting though. The armchair discussion, as I’ll remind you, gets underway at 9:45am.  So what time is the media supposed to arrive? 

According to the Notes for The Media, they must arrive no later than 8:15am.

That’s ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES before the event takes place.  Hell, I’m pretty sure people can arrive to get checked through security at the Kamloops Airport, for a flight to Vancouver, needing less time than that.

And if that makes little sense, there’s a FOLLOW-UP EVENT, to the armchair discussion

At 11:15am the Prime Minister will participate in a roundtable with representatives of the very same SheEO ventures. And once again, Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade, Mary Ng, will be in attendance.

This one is open to the media as well.

From an armchair discussion ... to a roundtable ... our Prime Minister certainly leads an exiting life now that he has passed on a lot of the important Prime Ministerial duties to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Or am I wrong ... and missing something??

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
