“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

FELDSTED -- Government efforts to offset some of the results of a destructive economic policy are aimed at maintaining political power

Mark Carney — the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England — has been acting as an informal adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Carney "certainly has been advising the PM through different phases of this," said a senior government official speaking on background. "I'd hope we can count on him for more."

This is incredibly dangerous to Canada’s sovereignty.

Mr. Carney is not a neutral advisor primarily interested in the security and welfare of Canada and her people. Mr. Carney’s primary interest is pressing the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) insane and unworkable plans to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions.

There is no hard evidence that the proportion of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere drives our climate. It is an unproven hypothesis based on faulty computer models and algorithms that the author (Michael Mann) will not reveal for scrutiny by qualified scientists.

Validation of a hypothesis is central to scientific progress. Refusal to reveal his calculations for verification indicates flaws he does not want to reveal.

The World Health Organization (WHO), another UN agency, spent months downplaying the dangers of COVID infections only to pivot in mid-march and declare COVID the most dangerous virus ever. The WHO, supported by governments and the media, has successfully created a COVID Exaggeration Syndrome -- designed to scare people into relinquishing their freedoms and rights to prevent the spread of another flu virus.

It is a better-organized replication of the IPCC doomsday predictions.

The financial crisis Canada is facing is a direct consequence of our lock-down approach to COVID. There are no intervening or external factors.

Our governments chose to lock down the economy for a protracted period. That led to borrowing hundreds of billions to prevent widespread personal and business bankruptcies which would have resulted in civil unrest and removal of the federal government.

Government efforts to offset some of the results of a destructive economic policy are aimed at maintaining political power.

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians who fell through the cracks and will not survive financially attest to the poor planning of financial countermeasures. If Mr. Trudeau and his government are incapable of dealing with the fiscal crisis they have created, they have no choice but to resign.

I am reminded of a speech by Oliver Cromwell when dissolving the British Parliament in 1653:

“You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing lately….
Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”

Three hundred and sixty-seven years later, it is eerily appropriate for our situation.

BONUS material ... apparently, Mr. Carney did not do a stellar job of shepherding the UK through the epidemic. “The UK is in recession for the first time in 11 years.”

BC’s Forestry Decline Is a Policy Failure, Not a Market Reality -- Forestry Critic Calls for Accountability and Urgent Policy Reset

Conservative Party of BC Forestry Critic, and Kamloops - North Thompson MLA,  Ward Stamer As the Truck Loggers Association convention begins today, BC Conservative Forestry Critic Ward Stamer says British Columbia’s forestry crisis is the result of government mismanagement, not market forces, and that an urgent policy reset is needed to restore certainty, sustainability, and accountability. “For generations, forestry supported families and communities across BC,” said Stamer.  “Today, mills are closing, contractors are parking equipment, and families are being forced to leave home, not because the resource is gone, but because policy has failed.” Government data shows timber shipment values dropped by more than half a billion dollars in the past year, with harvest levels falling by roughly 50 per cent in just four years. At the same time, prolonged permitting timelines, unreliable fibre access, outdated forest inventories, and rising costs have made long-term planning impossib...

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Eby government signs another land-use agreement, as they say one thing and do another, during DRIPA chaos

While promising to fix DRIPA, the Eby government continues to quietly sign binding land-use agreements that fundamentally alter how Crown land is governed in British Columbia. On January 15, 2026, the government signed four ministerial orders advancing the Gwa’ni Land Use Planning Project with the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, amending the Vancouver Island Land Use Plan and changing how more than 166,000 hectares of Crown land can be accessed, developed, and managed. “This is Land Act reform by stealth,” said Critic for Indigenous Relations Scott McInnis. “British Columbians already rejected these changes once. In 2024, public backlash forced the NDP to pull its Land Act amendments. Instead of listening, this government has gone underground, signing individual deals behind closed doors, just like we’ve already seen in places such as Squamish, Teẑtan Biny, and across Northwest BC.” “The Premier admits DRIPA ( the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act) is creating ...
