“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

PECKFORD -- This reliance on the ‘China challenged’ World Health Organization, and now increasing our reliance on China itself, is very troubling


Alberta Premier, and UCP leader, Jason Kenney

It isn’t just me. Thank God! 

I was getting a little concerned for a while.

But thankfully there is Rex Murphy, David Solway and Spencer Fernando to turn to.

Alberta, through its Premier (Jason Kenney), has made it clear that if other western countries have approved a certain test for the Wuhan Virus, his Government would use it notwithstanding Health Canada’s lack of approval.

Sadly, so many Canadians just swallow hook line and sinker whatever comes out of the mouths of so-called Federal experts.

I chaired a Federal expert panel on Diabetes a few years ago. Oh, the bureaucracy!! I say no more.

Many years later do you think it is better?

Look, unless Health Canada can clearly scientifically explain what is wrong with certain tests -- approved by reputable health agencies like the FDA, European agencies or Australia -- I say use them.

This is getting a little ridiculous.

This reliance on the ‘China challenged’ World Health Organization (WHO), and now increasing our reliance on China itself, is very troubling.
Meanwhile, Alberta sends medical supplies to British Columbia (don’t dare mention BC trying to block Alberta oil from tidewater) ... and that ugly USA (the description I hear from most Canadians), though it’s military, is helping out Italy.

I hope the Federal Government won’t try and falsely usurp some power on this one, given they break their own Canada Health Act every day, with over 5 million Canadians without a family physician.

Tis a strange world we live in. 

In 1972 Brian Peckford was first elected, as a Progressive Conservative, to the Newfoundland Labrador House of Assembly. He became Premier at the age of 36, and held the leadership of his party and government from 1979 to 1989.

Since leaving politics, early in 1989, Peckford has conducted public inquires for the governments of British Columbia and Canada, has served on numerous Boards including the CBC, and has been active in public affairs.

Since 1993, he and his wife Carol have made British Columbia their home; they now live in Parksville, on Vancouver Island. He blogs at Peckford 42.

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
