“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 – The train has left the station and is on a long downhill slope. As long as Trudeau governs, the train cannot be slowed


The Trudeau Liberals potentially wasted up to $22 billion dollars of their $80 billion pandemic health spending due to a lack of "adequate targeting" of those in need, a new study by the Fraser Institute claims.

“Our research shows that billions are being borrowed to finance transfers to people whose need is at least questionable, and this at a time when Ottawa is running historic deficits,” said Jason Clemens, Executive Vice President at the Fraser Institute.

The audacity and incompetence are stupefying. No wonder Bill Morneau bailed. The study does not address the tens of thousands who did not qualify for the various programs rolled out or those who have lost savings and investments in businesses that will not recover from the lengthy shut-down and ridiculous regulations on reopening.

Our government has destroyed the service sector, and the tens of thousands of people employed there have nowhere to go to find employment. Worse, the uncertainty of a government without a coherent plan for rebuilding our economy creates insecurity that prohibits new investments.

Governments are incapable of managing a capitalist system. We need governments that will create a business climate where entrepreneurship can thrive. That means a minimum of regulations, much less red tape, and efficient support services.

As part of the WE charity scandal investigations, the government released about 5,000 pages of relevant documents! On one program contract that should never have been undertaken and is under investigation by the Ethics Commissioner and the RCMP.

The Trans-Mountain debacle, SNC-Lavalin scandal, the Admiral Norman scandal and the WE charity scandal cause investors to avoid Canada. Warren Buffet has decided investments in Canada are too risky for him. There is nothing that the Trudeau government can do to regain investor confidence.

Our illogical and unpredictable Prime Minister cannot convince anyone that he and his extensive group of insiders will not destroy the best-laid plans of the entrepreneurs we desperately need to get Canada back on its feet.

Investors look at the track record of the builders and creators. Trans-Canada had the reputation for attracting $12 billion in investments for its Canada East pipeline.

When Trudeau created environmental regulations that made approval impossible, Trans-Canada threw in the towel, and investors fled.

The price Canadians are paying for Trudeau’s illusions of grandeur are the loss of our civil rights and freedoms along with a steadily declining standard of living that is going to accelerate over the next decade. The proportion of our society living in poverty is going to increase as we sink from depression into a recession.

The train has left the station and is on a long downhill slope. As long as Trudeau governs, the train cannot be slowed.

PEATS: I am writing with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community

The following is a copy of a letter sent to me, which was sent to BC’s Minister of Health Adrian Dix. It is with regards to the impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic in Dawson Creek.   Dear Minister,   I am writing to you today with a critical concern regarding the imminent closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic, a vital healthcare facility in our community. The closure, scheduled for the summer of 2024, is a result of the utterly burdensome terms and conditions imposed by the bureaucratic Northern Health. As a result, Dawson Creek stands to lose four doctors who have made this city their home, and who wish to continue serving the people of our community.   The impending closure of the Eljen Medical Clinic is a significant blow to our city. Not only will it result in the loss of highly qualified and dedicated healthcare professionals, but it will also deprive thousands of Dawson Creek residents of access to their primary physicians. At a time when healthcare se

Selina Robinson: "You broke my heart . . ." (The Real Story)

The mildly Zionist, innocuously leftish and now ousted advanced education minister’s letter to her New Democratic Party caucus colleagues, explaining why she has resigned the caucus to sit as an independent. The letter is an historic document, an artifact of the disgraceful cultural moment we’re living through. It’s important. It’s also a scorcher. It’s gathering a heck of a lot of attention . I’m printing it in full here. I’ve been insisting that what happened to Robinson is a much bigger deal and a completely different story than the one we’d all been led to believe. The necessary background: My piece in the National Post: The despicable untruths behind Selina Robinson's political lynching . More importantly , a Real Story investigation: The Problem With The Selina Robinson Story. . . It wasn't true. What follows is the story of what really happened. Let’s just get into it. Apart from punctuation and spelling I replicate the letter faithfully, with some further comm

Long-time former BC Liberal supporter says, I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United

                              BC United leader Kevin Falcon I recently asked a political acquaintance of mine, about their current involvement with BC United.   I was much surprised with the response given the BC Liberals had been the recipient of a lot of their time and energy in the past. By request, their comments are posted anonymously : I am definitely not hanging in there with BC United. Kevin’s poor judgement in ousting John Rustad from Caucus, and then publicly humiliating him, might be the most inept thing I have seen in BC politics ... and I’ve been involved in BC politics for a number of years! I still think the impetus was John‘s involvement in the Ellis Ross leadership campaign for the BC Liberal Party, and how successful and respected (despite not winning) it was. I am uncertain about the tenor of the current Conservative movement in North America. The once proud Republican Party in the United States has allowed itself to be led by a person who is morally, intell
