“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

We are at a pivotal time in our province, one in which people need security for the future -- this was missing from today’s Throne Speech

BC's CONSERVATIVES RESPOND TO TODAY'S THRONE SPEECH:

This afternoon BC’s Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Janet Austin, gave the government's Throne Speech to members of the Legislative Assembly and to the people of BC.

While short on specifics, it indicated the continuation of actions taken since last spring towards fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic repercussions.

Speaking this afternoon from his home in Fort St, John, Conservative leader Trevor Bolin noted that, despite now having a majority government, one thing is certain, and that is the lacklustre plans they have for British Columbia, and its people.

“We are at a pivotal time in our province, one in which people need security for the future, the removal of red tape which will allow industry to provide jobs, a health care system that works, and a plan to re-open business and the economy”, Bolin observed.

“None of this was mentioned in today’s Throne Speech, or even hinted at. Instead, the NDP government of Premier John Horgan continued to celebrate an election win which was based on the promise of a $1000 cheque; that as well as the public’s cynicism and mistrust of the BC Liberals.

“Where were the words showing government support of the resource sector – forestry, mining, oil and gas, energy?”

The Conservative leader continued, “Please tell me how we stimulate a struggling economy by introducing more people into the workplace through daycare spending?

“Premier Horgan, while we recognize that you and your cabinet have just been sworn in, the clock is ticking, and maintaining a healthy business climate should be a top priority for any government regardless of its partisan interests.”

“We will be watching, at every turn, until your plans represent all British Columbians”, Bolin concluded.

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
