“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

Absence of BC NDP Transportation Minister, and the MLA whose riding this issue falls within, demonstrates a continued lack of care and attention for rural BC

       BC Government photo More than 600 residents of Harrop and Glade, B.C. face the prospect of being cut off from essential services as a looming ferry strike threatens their livelihoods and well-being. Pete Davis, Conservative MLA for Kootenay Rockies is calling on the local NDP MLA for Kootenay Central and Minister of Rural Services, Brittny Anderson, to put rural communities first. “ This isn’t just about logistics; it’s about the people who depend on this ferry to access food, work, and critical services ,” Davis said. “ The residents of Harrop and Glade deserve leadership. Their local MLA and Minister must stand up for them and ensure their voices are heard .” Davis is urging the government to take swift action to bring both sides together and prioritize a resolution that avoids further disruption. “ It’s time for the government to lead, support rural communities, and secure a fair deal for everyone involved ,” Davis added.

FORSETH: We are expected to believe that, of their free-will, eighty-four percent of residents at Argyll Lodge chose to cast a ballot

Since late Thursday morning (01/09), much has been said about issues Conservative Party of BC leader John Rustad raised about possible irregularities in last Fall’s provincial election – and in particular, in the riding of Surrey – Guilford. I shared the story online, and one of the most concerning comments I received was a simple one-word response, “ Snore ”. Maybe you’ll agree it’s snore worthy (I hope not), however, how would individual’s -- partisan to another political party -- feel if the shoe was on the other foot? Irregularities in any riding, including those that benefit one candidate over another, should concern us. Our democracy is based on trust, and in this instance, that trust seems to be in question. I know post-election BC Conservative leader John Rustad indicated the party would take time to review possible election irregularities, and now, two and a half months later, issues have been brought forward that, at least to me, are indeed questionable. It is alleged that v...

FORSETH -- Did you know there are THREE possible dates that the next federal election can be held?

Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Liberal leader and Prime Minister … Parliaments been prorogued and so the Liberal government avoided a non-confidence vote … and the Liberal Party of Canada is now in a leadership race with what now seems to be two likely outcomes; the election of Mark Carney or Chrystia Freeland. As if things weren’t topsy-turvy enough federally, it actually is, and could be, even more so. Did you know there are THREE possible dates that the next federal election can be held? Before the collapse of the Liberals over the past year, Canadians expected to elect a new government on (or before) October 20th, 2025. With the NDP propping up the Liberals, that date seemed fairly certain; that was until NDP leader Jagmeet Singh pulled the plug and withdrew his party’s support. Then, all bets were off. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and Singh, along with Bloc leader Yves-François Blanchet, both stated they would bring the government down at the earliest possible opportunity; som...
