“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.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

MIKE RIGGS -- The candidates who win are the ones who can hold both sides without losing control of the message

If you step back and look at the BC Conservative leadership race, which begin 81 days ago on January 16th, the real difference is not experience, it is approach. Caroline Elliott understands where voters are right now. People are tired of being managed, talked down to, and boxed into rigid policy frameworks. They want someone who reflects their concerns but can still operate in the real world. That is where she separates from someone like Kerry-Lynne Findlay. Findlay represents a more traditional style of politics. She brings experience, but also a more controlled and cautious approach that can feel rigid at a time when voters want responsiveness and adaptability. Elliott is positioning herself differently. She leans more socially conservative in tone, which connects with a base that feels ignored, but she is also showing a willingness to be pragmatic. That balance is what actually wins elections. If you are too rigid, you stall out. If you are too soft, you lose your base. The candida...
