“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

BRIAN PECKFORD – Can’t we have a cleaner more honest international effort?

Patty Hajdu -- Canada's
Health Minister

My God ... Our Health Minister (Patty Hajdu), Our Government

On CTV Power Play, host Evan Solomon asked Minister Hajdu some good questions.

Would her Government join US and Australia to investigate the relationship between China and the World Health Organization (WHO)?

She did not answer —she fudged it.

The Canadian Government will not criticize China, or the World Health Organization!

You can send us the virus, then send us defective personal protective equipment (PPE) to battle it, cozying up to WHO — but that’s not a problem. We won’t criticize this Communist state.

I guess given the Federal Government efforts not to meet Parliament, it should not be surprising that they have no problems supporting an autocratic state.

The Minister says we have to have an international effort.  Oh, the great straw man -- nobody says we don’t need an international effort, but does it have to be a corrupted WHO that is Chinese centric, that got it wrong on person to person transmission.

Can’t we have a cleaner more honest international effort?

How embarrassing to many Canadians that we have a Federal Government that will not even criticize a corrupt Communist State. I just have a hard time getting my head around this attitude. There are two Canadians in jail right now in China, on trumped up charges.


Oh, yes, Australia has criticized China -- and the World Health Organization -- and want an investigation.

What happened? China is now threatening Australia and will retaliate in trade. So, Canada is scared, and prepared to be bullied by tyrants.

Spineless Europe has already backed down ——

Is this my Country?

GORDON F. D. WILSON: When The Trick Masquerades as The Treat

Thirty-seven years ago, Halloween 1987, I became the leader of the BC Liberal Party.   British Columbia was badly polarized. Social Credit held one side and the NDP the other. It had been twelve years, 1975, since Liberal MLAs Garde Gardom, Pat McGeer, and Alan Williams had walked away from their party to join Social Credit, one year after the lone Progressive Conservative MLA Hugh Curtis had abandoned his party to sit with Bill Bennett, the son and heir apparent to long-serving BC Premier, WAC Bennett.   An unwritten agreement by the biggest Canadian political shareholders, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, decided that if British Columbia was to remain a lucrative franchise from a revenue perspective, they couldn’t risk splitting the electoral vote and electing the real enemy, the NDP, so no resources would be used to finance either a Liberal or Conservative party provincially.   “There are two sides to every street,” I was told by a very prominent Canadian businessman who cont

FORSETH: As a BC Conservative member, and campaign worker, I will again state that the fact these errors were found -- AND brought to light BY Elections BC -- shows the system IS working

Sadly, two and a half weeks after the BC provincial election campaign, those who want to undermine our political process are still at.  PLUS, we also have one who doesn’t even live in our country, never mind our province. I speak of the buffoon running for President of the United States, who has poisoned the well when it comes to faith in the electoral process. Just today alone, comments such as the following, were being made of posts that I shared online: ... all the votes they keep finding has just favoured NDP on in all critical ridings and soon they will flip another riding in favour of NDP, Come on. ... Elections BC has ridiculed British Columbians, and I no longer have confidence or trust in their process and competence regarding the results Then there are others online, with comments like these – who are claiming fraud in the October 19th election: ... Who is the oversight for Elections BC? They should be investigated for election fraud! ... Fraudulent election ... should be red

Rob Shaw: Eby should be worried why mudslinging missed the mark in B.C. election

  Why did a BC NDP election campaign overwhelmingly focused on attacking the character of the BC Conservatives fail to prevent a blue wave that came within 27 votes of toppling the governing party? Partly because voters didn’t much care for, or about, all the New Democrat mudslinging. They were just hopping mad about some very specific issues ... CLICK HERE for the full story
