FORSETH -- Today was to have shed light on the entire situation – not that any of us expected it to happen – despite the best attempts of the NDP’s Charlie Angus, and Conservative Finance Critic Pierre Poilievre

This afternoon, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came before the Finance Committee to answer questions about the #WECharity ... and the ensuing chaos that came about as a result of the government handing over nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS ($900 million) to the WE Charity, before the contract was cancelled.

In the ensuing weeks, we have heard of multiple instances of the family of Justin Trudeau having various roles, and participating in events WE held ... and the same for the governments Finance Minister, Bill Morneau.

Today was to have shed light on the entire situation – not that any of us expected that would happen – despite the best attempts of the NDP’s Charlie Angus ... and the Conservative Finance Critic Pierre Poilievre.

I made seven comments as I watched the 90-minute exchange on the Canadian Parliamentary Channel (CPaC) ...

BEGINNING WITH ...

  1. OMG. the Finance Committee gas given #JustinTrudeau at least 10 minutes of "Boy our government is great" bullshit. #SkippyMustGo #cdnpoli

  2. Isn't #SkippyMustGo supposed to be explaining / apologizing for his extremely daft decision to use #WE given the direct involvement of his family? #cdnpoli

  3. Does #SkippyMustGo seriously expect us to believe he didn't know what hotel his wife stayed at, in London, for her appearance at a #WECharity event. I call LIE #cdnpoli

  4. I should have ... I didn’t ... I regret. Why is #JustinTrudeau always apologizing for his screw ups over and over again. #SkippyMustGo. #cdnpoli

  5. Just wondering why is it #JustinTrudeau wants to take responsible for all the good stuff to do with shoveling billions out in programs & grants. Not so much however when accountability has to be explained for screwups. You're responsible Justin & that's why #SkippyMustGo

  6. How much...how much ...I'm looking for a dollar figure? You haven't done an answer so far" ... says #PierrePoilievre. No surprise but #JustinTrudeau is not / will not answering :(


    AND ENDING WITH ...

  7. The House Finance Committee Chair says he is going to give #JustinTrudeau a chance to answer. Too bad that Trudeau refuses to answer any/all questions

 
Like I said, we were to get answer this afternoon, at least that's what we were informed would be happening -- that however, definitely did not happen.


PS ... I shouldn’t have used it, and so I apologize for my juvenile comment #SkippyMustGo

“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
