“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

There must be someone willing to get a helicopter full of strong female Wet'suwet'en Elders -- that'll put a verbal whipping and knowledge session on these young people -- and set them straight

Tonight upon landing in Victoria, and going for an evening stroll downtown, I got to see up close all these protestors ... along with all their garbage, dirty clothes and dishes, tents, fires and all these displays they have set up all over the front steps, lights and entrance of the BC Legislature.

I decided to walk up to take a closer look, and was warned by the two guards not to engage with anyone. I was shocked to learn this has been going on for eight days.

Before I could get close to the front steps, a young lady in her early 20s purposely walks in front of me... 

Her: Are you here in solidarity with us and the Wet'suwet'en? 

Me: Which portion of the Wet'suwet'en are you talking about exactly? 

Her: If you want to be educated on the issues, you should come back tomorrow during the resistance rallies. 

Me: I think I understand the issues. I was just wondering which Wet'suwet'en people or individuals you were speaking about specifically? 

Her: If you're not standing with us and part of the resistance, you need to leave. Only warriors willing to rise are welcome here. 

[Two guys with their lower faces covered in bandanas then gather around her] 

Me: The resistance? Are we in a Star Wars movie right now? 

Come on you guys, anyone here pretending to know the collective opinion of the Wet'suwet'en Nation is being rather naive at this point. 

Give their people some time to deal with their own laws and issues. You are not helping anything. 

Bandana Warrior: Maybe you should educate yourself about the Royal Proclamation and indigenous issues.




Other Bandana Warrior: You need to leave now. I suggest you read some books and educate yourself. You clearly know nothing. 

Me: Yeah okay. Ya'll have a good evening.




What's happening at the Legislature, right now, is absolutely disgraceful and embarrassing to this Province and its citizens, including indigenous peoples, on so many levels.

There must be someone out there willing to get a helicopter full of strong female Wet'suwet'en Elders -- that'll put a verbal whipping and knowledge session on these young people -- and set them straight.



This is getting so ridiculous that it doesn't even feel real anymore.

Interfor Moves Headquarters Out of BC as Forestry Crisis Continues

NDP policies are driving businesses out of B.C., and the forestry industry just suffered yet another calamity. Interfor, a BC company founded more than 60 years ago and now one of the world's largest lumber producers, is moving its headquarters from Burnaby, BC to Atlanta, Georgia. As BC’s forestry sector faces mill closures and mounting uncertainty, this move is another warning sign that the crisis is deepening and conditions are fatal. “This is the NDP’s record: endless job losses with no hope in sight for the forestry sector,” said Ward Stamer, Shadow Minister for Forestry. “Interfor still has three mills in BC which are now in serious jeopardy, and it is likely we will see even more companies pull out of BC. The NDP government is suffocating the forestry industry with high taxes, excessive regulations, and permitting delays, while DRIPA has made it impossible to plan for the future.” “Decisions like this are sadly not surprising given the NDP’s indifference if not hostility tow...

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

NDP Hypocritically Admits Natural Gas Power Was Needed All Along ~~ BC Conservatives

The NDP just got caught buying back the exact kind of power plant it spent years telling British Columbians they didn't need. The NDP government announced today that BC Hydro is purchasing the Island Generation natural gas facility in Campbell River, an admission that its electrification-only energy policy was never realistic. The 275-megawatt plant was originally privately owned yet kept to a minimal backup role under the NDP, operating just 15 days a year on average. Now, with demand outpacing what the NDP's plan can support, the government is spending taxpayer funds on the very gas capacity it once treated as obsolete. "You cannot electrify everything and pretend natural gas doesn't matter," said Larry Neufeld, Shadow Minister for Energy.  "Buying back a gas plant they once wrote off is proof their own plan couldn't keep the lights on. It's a step towards more energy reality, but the government needs to go further and scrap the impending province-w...
