“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

WUN FEATHER – If you were to ask Justin Trudeau how any of the money, he’s borrowed from taxpayers was spent, he wouldn’t be able to answer

When it comes to Justin Trudeau and his desire to land a seat on the UN Security Council, he went about it all wrong.

We all need to remember that Justin has never done anything of significance in his life. The only reason he holds the highest political position in the land is because his daddy was a Prime Minister of sorts. Justin grew up as a spoiled rich kid, who thinks that throwing money around is the way to influence people and buy friendships.

His answer to every situation is to bring out the check-book that actually belongs to the hard-working Canadian taxpayers, and he fills in a dollar amount and sends it away. That is typical of the social justice warriors and virtue-signalers of the day.

As much as I think that the UN is a group of busy body people -- who think that they can dive into every countries business and make the world all warm and fuzzy -- I think, (or hope), they see through Trudeau.

They see him sending checks everywhere, but those of us with experience, have grown to know that cash money or checks written to organizations never solves anything. By example, his answer to Indigenous fresh water problems was to send money to the nations.

Where did that money go, and how was it spent?

... we don't know.

If you were to ask Justin Trudeau how any of the money, he’s borrowed from taxpayers was spent, he wouldn’t be able to answer... and the UN is

smart enough to know that too. He went about it the wrong way entirely.

What countries and people need isn't money.

They need help ... physical labor ... infrastructure ... fresh drinking water ... freedom and security ... along with education and training. They need housing ... energy sources ... along with healthcare and rehabilitation.

Waving bundles of cash around never improves any of the above items. Most of us know that if you send cash to fix any of these problems (and this is a small and incomplete list), the majority of the cash goes into administrative services and the pockets of the decision makers ... by the time the cash travels past the leadership, there isn't any left.

Let's just take the First Nations fresh water situation as an example.

Instead of sending our nations a wheelbarrow full of money, take the time to visit the community. Have a look at what needs to be done and create an action plan for each community.   Determine the scope of work that needs to be done, and source goods and service providers from each community if possible.

Training and employing community members must always be a focus ... then use community members to build the infrastructure required to provide themselves with fresh water. As you train the individuals to do the work, you also provide ongoing routine maintenance training at the same time, so that community members will always be involved in the day to day activities.

Because community members were involved in the entire process, they have a greater understanding of how it works, and how to keep it operational.

This is just one example, but there is significantly more value in this approach than mailing the Chief a check. Most nations are dead broke, and in serious need of housing -- any money they get their hands on goes towards house repairs, or to support their elders and members in need. The Chiefs make sure that the health centers and public works have enough funds to stay afloat.

I know many Chiefs that are frustrated with the current system. The UN is smart enough to know this as well.

Trudeau brags to the leaders of the countries about how many checks he wrote, but the truth is that none of the money Canadian taxpayers borrowed -- and gave to other countries -- has made any difference in their lives.

What a huge waste of our money.

The UN made the right decision -- Trudeau did absolutely nothing to deserve that seat he so desperately tried to buy with our money.



About Wun Feather ... I am one of the last of my generation to have actually attended residential and Indian day schools. I have lived on and off reserve, and have seen the benefits and the hardships of my people in both situations.

My parents taught me that any time I fell down physically, or emotionally, I just needed to pick myself up, shake myself off, and continue in a forward direction. So, I cannot claim that I did it on my own; I had great Elders.

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
