“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 -- This government has replaced safety and security with anxiety, fear and uncertainty

To build back better, we must reinvent capitalism ...

The pandemic has brought into focus many of the vulnerabilities in our systems and institutions.  But it also offers us a chance to shape a more resilient and sustainable world.

Here's how businesses and policy-makers can start building the green and inclusive future we need .....

We are to believe that by destroying capitalism that we can rebuild a more robust capitalism? Let's have these chaps share a little of whatever they are imbibing.

First, they convince our governments that the only way to combat a virus epidemic is to quarantine the entire population for an extended period. Most of the nation shut down with devastating effects on our economy, personal health and well-being.

Efforts to provide income replacement for people forced out of their livelihoods have been deliberately overly complicated, piecemeal and unfocused. Financial officers have spent hundreds of hours calculating and recalculating eligibility for wage subsidy programs with shifting regulations.

Never in history have democratic nations treated their populations as if they had neither rights nor freedoms. Stop and consider this for a moment. The World Health Organization's (WHO) approach to the COVID virus epidemic is a rejection of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Using the failed COVID epidemic response as an excuse for having incompetent idealists thrust a new economic order on us is disgusting. The notion that the World Economic Forum can concoct an economic model that will fit vastly different nations is ludicrous.

It is no accident that Justin Trudeau’s partner in crime, Gerald Butts, is heavily involved in this effort to subject us to the arbitrary rule of kings in place of democracy. We have to firmly and impolitely send Trudeau and his extended royal court off to the showers and allow others to make an honest attempt to bring order out of the chaos they have created.

The rule for the next election, which cannot come soon enough, is Do Not Re-elect (DNR).

There are a precious few Members of Parliament who have worked hard to rein in a corrupt, arrogant and failed government focused on image without substance. They have no coherent plan for bringing us the peace, order and good government demanded by our constitution.

This government has replaced safety and security with anxiety, fear and uncertainty.

If we refuse to re-elect incumbents, we stand a chance of rebuilding what they have taken from us – dignity, equality, freedoms, rights and security.

RCMP gag order comes after BC NDP catch heat for diverted safe supply (Northern Beat)

In the wake of several high-profile police drug seizures of suspected safer supply that put the BC NDP government on the defensive last month, BC RCMP “E” division issued a gag order on detachments, directing them to run all communications on “hot button” public safety issues through headquarters in the lead-up to the provincial election. “It is very clear we are in a pre-election time period and the topic of ‘public safety’ is very much an issue that governments and voters are discussing,” writes a senior RCMP communications official in an email dated Mar. 11 in what appears to have gone out to all BC RCMP detachments . . . .

KRUGELL: BC NDP turns its attention from BC United to BC Conservatives

The BC NDP turning its attention, from BC United, to BC Conservatives was reported over the weekend from a variety of sources. It is the result of the surge in the BC Conservative's polling numbers and the subsequent collapse of BC United. The NDP has largely ignored the BC Conservatives, instead they opt to talk about issues directly or attack their old foes BC United. Practical politics says that parties closer to the centre tend to ultimately prevail over the long haul. They do wane but often make comebacks. A good example is the federal Liberals going from third party to government in 2015. Centrism has a lot of appeal on voting day. The NDP shifting its fire from United to Conservative is a reflection of reality. BC United did buy advertising online and radio over the last few months. Did that shift the polls back to them? Nope. The reality is today, the BC Conservatives are the party of the Opposition, and day by day the Conservatives are looking like a party not ready to fig

Baldrey: 2024 meets 1991? How B.C. election history could repeat itself (Times Colonist)

NOTE ... not the original image from Keith Baldrey's op/ed 1991 BC general election -- Wikipedia   A veteran NDP cabinet minister stopped me in the legislature hallway last week and revealed what he thinks is the biggest vulnerability facing his government in the fall provincial election. It’s not housing, health care, affordability or any of the other hot button issues identified by pollsters. "I think we are way too complacent,” he told me. “Too many people on our side think winning elections are easy.” He referenced the 1991 election campaign as something that could repeat itself. What was supposed to be an easy NDP victory then almost turned into an upset win for the fledgling BC Liberal Party. Indeed, the parallels between that campaign and the coming fall contest are striking ... CLICK HERE for the full story
