“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

FORSETH: The truth really needs to come out -- especially why duffel bags filled with cash being dumped on casino counters went on unhindered

 


In the past I made comment numerous times that the former BC Liberal government was "addicted" to the revenues they received from the ever-expanding lottery and casino gravy train.

I said it was sick and disgusting, and on top of that, they were robbing (at least in my opinion) monies from community groups and organizations that should have been benefiting from gaming revenues.

On that topic alone, here is what I had to say in December 2016:

All I can say is, it's abundantly clear that while the BC Liberal government continues to strip more and more money from British Columbians, through every increasing schemes for new lottery games and casino expansion, the community groups and organizations that should be benefiting, are instead being shortchanged hundreds of millions every year.

Who do you think should be the recipients of the increased revenue?  I know who Christy Clark and the BC Liberal government think should be ... and it's certainly not community non-profit groups and organizations.

But back to the former Liberal government addiction to gaming revenue, and the questionable behaviors which were happening at BC casinos.

As this news story from last night states, those responsible for turning a blind eye to illegal activity are finally going to be called to testify at the Cullen Commission. Those individuals include former Solicitor’s General Kash Heed and Rich Coleman, former Attorney General and now interim leader of the BC Liberals Shirley Bond, former Finance Minister Michael De Jong, all the way to the top and former BC Premier Christy Clark.

All of these individuals turned a blind eye to millions in unsourced cash that flooded into BC casino’s ... again (in my option) because of their addiction to the revenues it generated for government coffers.

Sadly, it's highly likely they will use 'Cabinet privilege' to get away with saying nothing ... and admitting nothing.

That’s a shame, because the truth really needs to come out --- especially why those duffel bags filled with cash being dumped on casino counters, which we keep seeing in news stories, went on unhindered.

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...
