“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

WUN FEATHER - Conservatives need to become more relatable to the ones who are going to determine the future of our country

 


There was a time when young people like me went to school to learn how to learn.

I remember in 1966 when my dad was my teacher. I handed in an arithmetic test. All the answers were correct, but I did not show him how I came up with the answers, and so my dad gave me a zero.

 

What does this have to do with anything, you may ask?

 

Being able to determine the truth is significantly more important than someone telling you what to believe. How you determine the truth is even more important than the truth itself.

 

55 years later, the majority of people have not been taught how to think for themselves.

 

I say that with certainty because people like Justin Trudeau have become Prime Minister with absolutely no merit whatsoever. How could voters choose him as the answer without seeing the work he had never done??

 

You can blame Harper all you want and suggest that he is the reason we have a Federal Liberal party destroying our country right now, but that idea defies logic.

 

In a country of 30+ million people, how did someone who has never done anything of value ever become our leader? I can tell you why. The Mainstream Media, our school system and social media made him out to be some sort of supernatural being, and people who were easily lead by the system found him relatable, and cast their votes.

 

Thanks for following me this far.

 

What I am about to say is highly controversial and is going to make people on both sides of the political spectrum angry. I suggest that if a federal election was called today, Justin Trudeau would easily beat the Conservative party leader. That is because a high percentage of people would vote for him.

 

They see Trudeau as a young pot smoking fellow who lives in a home paid by taxpayers, who only pokes his head outdoors once or twice per day to recite predetermined questions from the media. They can relate with someone else doing all the work for him. His speaking notes, his answers, and his comments are all done by paid handlers.

 

They do not relate with the current Conservative party leader. To many voting aged people, he looks like he has been in politics all his life. Take a close look at the people who are going to vote Liberal during our next election, and then take a close look at the leader of the Conservative party. 

 

Do you see any commonality? No. Is he relatable? Does he have any attributes that would attract people who prefer government handouts to working for a living?

 

Sorry, but I don't think so.

 

As it stands right now, the people who would vote for the leader of the Federal Conservative party, are people like me. People who love our country.

People who are deeply saddened to see Canada rapidly becoming a third world country desperately in debt, with no end to the spending in sight.

 

But people like me are not the ones who the Federal Conservative party need to recruit. I am already committed to giving them my vote. That is because my father taught me that seeing the work is more important than the final answer.

 

Like it or not, we Conservatives need to become more relatable to the ones who are going to determine the future of our country.

 

They are beginning to outnumber us, and their criteria for choosing a leader is significantly different than ours has always been.

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Photo credit:  Atli Resources LP   BC’s Forestry Crisis Continues with Closure of Beaver Cove Chip Facility   As industry leaders, Indigenous partners, and contractors gather this week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George, the gap between government rhetoric and reality could not be clearer. Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...

FORSETH – My question is, ‘How do we decide who is blue enough to be called a Conservative?’

How do we decide who’s blue enough to be a Conservative? AS OF TODAY (Friday January 30 th ), there are now eight individuals who have put their names forward to lead the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Having been involved with BC’s Conservatives since 2010, and having seen MANY ups and downs, having 8 people say “I want to lead the party” is to me, an incredible turn-around from the past. Sadly, however, it seems that our party cannot seem to shake what I, and others, call a purity test of ‘what is a Conservative’. And that seems to have already come to the forefront of the campaign by a couple of candidates. Let me just say as a Conservative Party of BC member, and as someone active in the party, that frustrates me to no end. Conservatives, more than any other political philosophy or belief, at least to me, seems to have the widest and broadest spectrum of ideals.   For the most part, they are anchored by these central thoughts --- smaller and less intru...
