“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

Wearing masks properly

Concerns have been expressed to me about how some people are using their non-medical masks, so I decided to discuss it here.

Both Canada’s and B.C.’s chief medical health officers recommend in situations where two-metre physical distancing can’t be maintained, that non-medical masks be worn to help curb transmission by reducing droplets.

Here’s some guidelines for those who choose to wear them:

- Make sure face and hands are clean and dry when putting the mask on.

- Put the face covering over your nose. If there is a metal piece, that goes over your nose, and if coloured, that side faces outward. Adjust so whole face and nose are covered.

- Secure straps to head or ears for a snug fit. There should not be any gaps.

 

Once in place, avoid touching your face. If you do, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or rub them with a hand sanitizer of at least 60 percent alcohol. The reason is, your hands may contaminate your mask or vice-versa.

Remove the mask with clean hands, by untying it or removing the straps from your ears. DO NOT touch the front of the mask when removing it. Then wash or sanitize your hands again. For more information CLICK HERE


WORKING TOGETHER … Painted rocks beautify the entrance of the bakery as they beautify social distancing. There are so many neat social distancing initiatives being done around our riding, including at the Lac la Hache Bakery.

As they only allow one customer in the bakery at a time, people are encouraged to bring a painted rock to leave outside for others waiting in line to admire. Children can trade a painted rock for a free treat.

It’s a sweet and creative take on responsible business protocols.

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
