“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.

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
