“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: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

Conservative Economic Team Responds to Urgent Industry Concerns

 " For far too long, the BC NDP has ignored the economic challenges facing British Columbians. Manufacturing jobs are vanishing, forestry is in decline, and private sector employment growth has stagnated. Meanwhile, affordability has worsened for both families and businesses.

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
