“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??

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
