FELDSTED -- We need to divorce climate change from environmental preservation

 

Conservative delegates reject adding ‘climate change is real’ to the policy book. Delegates voted down green-friendly policies by a margin of 54 per cent to 46 (John Paul Tasker // CBC News // Mar 20, 2021)

Conservative delegates at the party’s policy convention have voted to reject adding green-friendly statements to the policy book — including a line that would have stated the party believes “climate change is real” and is “willing to act.”

Unfortunately, the Conservative Party failed to take the opportunity to introduce some reason and sense into the climate change and environment files.
 
Climate change is real. Climate patterns have been changing throughout our recorded history and continue to change. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that.
 
However, the addition of the words: “and is willing to act” indicates that politicians can influence the degree and effects of climate change when we have no evidence that it is possible.

The same governments have failed to contain the spread of coronavirus. Despite months of huffing and puffing and tens of thousands of officious (and totalitarian) regulations, governments are praying tearfully that a vaccine will accomplish what they could not.
 
Conservatives sat on their hands and allowed the governing Liberals to declare that carbon is a pollutant when there is no evidence to support the notion. Without carbon, life on this plant will die.
 
The majority of Canadians strongly support preserving and protecting our air, land and water, which has nothing to do with climate change.
 
We need to divorce climate change from environmental preservation.
 
We cannot control climate change and are foolish to expend energy and funds attempting to do so. We need to assess how climate change affects us and prepare plans to mitigate the effects to the extent that we can.
 
We need to get strict with polluters, whether they are individuals or corporations. Those who foul our air, land and water should expect severe punishments. Those are not infinitely renewable resources.
 
We need a new debate on the effects of carbon on alleged global warming. The “science” supporting the original hypothesis has collapsed. There is no valid, peer-reviewed science to support a credible link between carbon emissions and global warming.
 
Decades of predicted rapid increases in global temperatures have not materialized. We embrace a legend little different from the flat earth science of centuries past.
 
People need clarity on these issues and open debate on how to move forward. Discussions on climate change and carbon emissions have been censored and stifled for decades and that has to end. We lost an opportunity to bring perspective and reason to these critical files.
 
Without some means to accurately measure the effects of carbon pricing (taxes) it is a scam. If carbon taxes do not produce a measurable result the government implementing them must resign.

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...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

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...
