“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

JOHN FELDSTED – When will the Prime Minister start using the plain truth in his announcements?

The great vaccine panic of 2020 is over - for now. Canadians are no longer at the ‘back of the line’ — and a lot of other countries aren’t so lucky

Aaron Wherry ~~ CBC News ~~ Dec 10, 2020
   

The leader of the Official Opposition opened Wednesday’s question period with a complaint about the design of the federal wage subsidy. So the prime minister took it upon himself to bring up the day’s big news ...

*********************************

Since Mr. O’Toole, other opposition leaders and the media seem incapable of asking the obvious questions; I will do it for them:

  1. What did it cost us to get early access to Pfizer COVID vaccine doses?

  2. If there is no added cost, why did the Prime Minister lie about vaccine delays? 

  3. When will the Prime Minister start using the plain truth in his announcements?

 

The half-truths, innuendos and manipulations have grown tawdry and tiresome.

Withholding information is the equivalent of lying. If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plans for Canada are not consistent with the aims and objectives of most Canadians, he is not governing democratically.
 
Winning an election does not relieve the government of the day from its obligation to represent all Canadians and govern consistent with their desires and needs.

In a democracy, a political party cannot claim a mandate to govern as it deems appropriate. That is substituting despotism for democracy.

    Your articles are becoming more nonsensical by the day. You should try to find some other line of work.

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
