“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: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

Conservative Economic Team Responds to Urgent Industry Concerns

 " For far too long, the BC NDP has ignored the economic challenges facing British Columbians. Manufacturing jobs are vanishing, forestry is in decline, and private sector employment growth has stagnated. Meanwhile, affordability has worsened for both families and businesses. British Columbians deserve better, and we’re here to deliver real solutions to rebuild our economy and create jobs that support everyday working people and their families ." – Gavin Dew, MLA and Shadow Minister for Jobs, Economy, Development, and Innovation.   December 3, 2024, Vancouver, BC – The Conservative economic team met today with business leaders and stakeholders to tackle critical issues impacting British Columbia’s economy.

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
