“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.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

Your government has a gambling problem (Troy Media)

Provinces call it “revenue,” but it looks a lot like exploitation of the marginalized The odds of winning Lotto Max are about 1 in 33 million. You’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning than to win it. But your government is betting that statistics won’t hold you back; they’re counting on it. Across Canada, provincial governments not only regulate gambling, they also maintain a monopoly on lottery and gaming by owning and operating the entire legal market. That means every scratch card is government-issued, gambling odds are government-set, casino ads are government-funded and lottery billboards are government-paid. And these are not incidental government activities. They generate significant revenues that governments have powerful incentives to expand, not constrain. It would be one thing for our governments to encourage us to engage in healthy activities. We can quibble about whether the government should be trying to convince us to be more active or eat more vegetabl...
