“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

Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney advising PM on COVID-19 economic response -- Carney recently departed top job at Bank of England after guiding it through Brexit uncertainty (David Cochrane ~~ CBC News ~~ Aug 10, 2020)

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.

John Feldsted ... is a political commentator, consultant, and strategist. He makes his home in Winnipeg, Manitoba.


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.”

Budget 2027: After a Decade of Decline, NDP Budget Delivers an Assault on Seniors, Working Families, and Small Businesses

Peter Milobar, BC Conservative Finance Critic, condemned the NDP government’s latest budget as the result of a decade of decline that has left British Columbians broke, unsafe, and paying more for less.   “After ten years of NDP mismanagement, this budget is an assault on seniors, working families, and the small businesses that drive our economy,” said Milobar. “The NDP have turned their back on the people working hardest to make ends meet and the seniors who built this province.” Milobar pointed to a new $1.1 billion annual income tax increase and warned that the government is piling new costs onto households already struggling with affordability.   “This government keeps asking British Columbians for more, while delivering less,” Milobar said. “The question people are asking is simple: Where has all the money gone?” Milobar noted that BC has gone from a surplus in the first year of NDP government to a projected deficit of more than $13 billion this year, while prov...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...

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...
