“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

PECKFORD ... and Canada wants to help this country develop a virus?

The virus trials between Canada and China are off ...

Are You Surprised? 

Well no. I did not understand how it got going in the first place.

First, why would Canada agree to dealing with China on a virus (COVID-19) they allowed to get to Canada, and which saw many die as a result, many sick, and put our economy in a tailspin ... a country that refuses to allow the world to examine what happened.

Second, why would Canada agree to deal with China when China is holding two Canadians in jail on fake charges?

Third, why would Canada agree when there is an extradition process under way to send a Chinese Corporate executive to the USA?

Fourth, why would Canada think that such an agreement would be approved by the Chinese government given the above?

If ever there was a ‘mixed up’ Canadian government -- on an issue -- this is it.

What is it about this Canadian federal government and China?

I say thank God the whole thing crashed —— sadly it was not of Canada’s doing.

We, Canada, are lamenting it according to various news stories.

I mean holding Canadians on fake charges ...

... spreading a deadly virus around the world killing thousands ...

... making thousands sick, upending the global economy ...

... refusing to having others examine what happened ...

... dominating what is suppose to be a neutral World Health Organization ...

... and Canada wants to help this country develop a virus?

You’ve gotta be kidding!

STAMER: Forestry isn’t a side industry — and if Premier Eby and Minister Parmar keep ignoring it, everything else will collapse with it

Premier Eby’s mandate letter to Forests Minister Ravi Parmar ordered the ministry to help the forestry sector achieve a harvest target of 45 million cubic metres per year—a staggering 50% increase over last year’s total. That sounds good on paper. But it’s not going to happen. And when it doesn’t, you can already hear the excuses: permitting delays, overlapping consultations, a permitting backlog, and the usual regulatory maze. Now there’s talk of Ottawa imposing quotas on Canadian softwood exports to the United States, a move that would add even more uncertainty. And you can bet this NDP government will use it as another excuse to stand back and let the annual allowable cut continue to slide further downward, pretending their hands are tied. Well, we don’t have the luxury of pretending. Even if the total harvest is only 30 million cubic metres, BC Timber Sales should still be producing at least 6 million. Instead, it’s on track to deliver less than three. That’s not sustainable—not fo...

Kamloops burial story only questioned by Parks Canada (Western Standard)

On February 12, 2025, Parks Canada announced the designation of the Kamloops, BC Indian Residential School as a national historic site. Surprisingly, it omitted any reference to the alleged graves containing 215 missing children in an adjoining apple orchard. “The Kamloops Indian Residential School was the largest institution in a system designed to carry out what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission described as cultural genocide,” Parks Canada said in a statement. No reason was given for omitting reference to unmarked burial sites. Now we know why ... CLICK HERE for the full story

Á'a:líya Warbus: Right-hand woman to BC Conservative leader John Rustad - First Nations leader and hip-hop singer does a lot of "heavy lifting" for the Conservatives

Sto:lo Nation member Áʼa꞉líya Warbus, a documentary filmmaker, Capilano University instructor and one-time hip-hop artist, readily acknowledges that of course she was criticized for running as a candidate for the BC Conservative Party. Warbus, 40, has no trouble going against stereotypes, countering cliches and breaking down barriers. Inspired by her well-known father, Steven Point — a former Sto:lo Nation chief, former B.C. lieutenant governor, and former university chancellor — she wants to do what is best for Indigenous people and the wider culture ...
