“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

FORSETH -- Please tell me Justin, what shared values do we have with the multiple dictatorships you have courted -- to win a vote -- in the quest to stoke your ego?

Over the past several months our Prime Minister – Justin Trudeau – has been burning up the phone lines with the leaders of dozens of countries, in his quest for a seat on the UN (lack of) Security Council.

And before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, he had racked up tens of thousands of air miles to grovel, in person, in the hopes of getting the support of UN members.

How many billion$ have been wasted on this quest, by our self-indulgent leader, for this temporary two-year place at the table?

To be certain, we’ll never know, because much of those costs will be buried as part of on-going and regular interactions with these countries.

Lebanon ... the Permanent Representatives of the United Nations’ Latin American and Caribbean Group ... Liberia ... the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States ... North Macedonia ... the Permanent Representatives of the United Nations’ African Group ... Jamaica ... the Permanent Representatives of the Arab League countries ... France ... the Asia Group ... Saudi Arabia ... the Eastern European Group ... along with a long list of tinpot dictatorships.

Even the Prime Minister of a place called Tuvalu! Where in the dickens is that you ask? Well, it’s in the South Pacific – an independent island nation in the British Commonwealth.

Over the past several months I have read media release after media release, from the Prime Ministers Office.  Each of them a glowing report of our long-standing relationship with these countries and organizations ... and how we have a desire to increase the apparent strong bonds we have with each of them ... along with glowing words around our shared values, bilateral friendships, and common membership in a multitude of different organizations.

Please tell me, Justin, what shared values we have with the numerous dictatorships you have courted, to win their votes, in this quest to stoke your ego?

Tomorrow, we’ll find out if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pursuit, for this temporary seat on the UN Security Council, paid off.

One thing is for certain, whether we are at the table or not, it won’t make any difference in how the Council operates.

It’s been basically toothless -- and useless -- for far too many years ... and that’s a shame for the ten’s of thousands of men, women, and children that are murdered and killed each and every year by their own governments ... and by marauding countries sticking their noses, and armed forces, into the affairs of other countries.

I just don’t get it – do you? Please let me know what you think.

Conservative Party of BC Calls for Coroner’s Inquest in the Death of Chantelle Williams

  Chantelle Williams/Facebook “Somebody has to come out and tell the truth on what happened and who’s at fault” ~~ Martin Watts, Uncle of Chantelle Williams The Conservative Party of BC is urgently calling for a coroner’s inquest into the death of 18-year-old Indigenous youth Chantelle Williams, who tragically died under the care of Usma Nuu-chah-nulth Family and Child Services, an agency of the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Her family is disturbed by the lack of transparency and unanswered questions surrounding her final moments, and are seeking answers on who was responsible for her care and supervision and why no one noticed she was missing until it was too late.

BC Conservatives launch petition in effort to halt BC NDP's 'power-grabbing' Bill 7 (Western Standard)

The BC Conservatives have launched a petition in an effort to block the BC NDP's controversial Bill 7. If passed, the Economic Stabilization (Tariff Response) Act would give the government sweeping power to combat the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump without legislative approval ... BC Conservatives labelled Bill 7 "the most undemocratic, power-grabbing legislation in BC history," warning that it would "grant Premier David Eby and his Cabinet unprecedented powers to override provincial laws, regulations, and even personal privacy rights." "This isn't just legislation, it's a direct attack on our democracy and on your freedom." ... CLICK HERE for the full story

WARD STAMER: “Hopefully he’s actually listening to what people have to say, and not just showing up for a photo op”

In his latest travels across the province, BC Forest Minister Ravi Parmar touched down in the Okanagan. A trip essentially, he said, to be on the ground meeting industry people. I read what he had to say, and about how he has been tasked with getting more timber to market. Let me start by saying, “ He hasn’t been tasked. He and Premier Eby guaranteed 45 million cubic metres of available wood fibre – they guaranteed that .” BC Timber Sales is a government agency within the provincial forest’s ministry, which is responsible for managing a portion of the province's Crown timber; specifically, 20 percent of the province's annual allowable cut. Unfortunately, BC Timber Sales did not provide anywhere near that amount last year, it was just 12.2 percent. Three years ago, BC mills cut 52 million metres of wood, bringing in nearly $2 billion dollars to the provincial treasury. That figure doesn’t include the taxes from 55,700 people directly employed in the industry, nor from the tens o...
