“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

FELDSTED – Conflict, discrimination and hatred suck the joys of life from us replacing compassion and empathy with soul-destroying darkness

 

Demonstrations held across Canada amid escalating conflict between Israel and Palestinians ~~ CBC News // May 16, 2021


Tense standoff in Winnipeg between opposing groups, big pro-Palestinian rallies in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal ... CLICK HERE for the full story

 

-----------------------------------------------

Two words for these demonstrators: “Go Home!” Your family and community need you. Learn to live with and respect your neighbours. Leave old hatreds and prejudices in the past where they belong.   

They are here because they or older family members came to Canada to be free from conflicts and have an opportunity to build a secure future for themselves and their families.

They must not import middle east conflicts to Canada. Wars have never decided who is right – only who is left when the shooting is over.

If they are passionate about ending the Arab – Israeli conflict, go there and help broker peace. The conflict has been ongoing since May 15, 1948. For 73 years, and despite dozens of efforts to broker peace, strife has continued with occasional flare-ups of open warfare.

Currently, extremist elements are testing the resolve of US president Biden to continue support for Israel. The United Nations was formed to keep the peace among nations and has utterly failed to do so.

The Arab – Israel conflict will continue until both sides are tired of the distrust, eternal vigilance, hatred, insecurity, killing, loss of life, mourning and weeping.

Conflict, discrimination and hatred suck the joys of life from us replacing compassion and empathy with soul-destroying darkness. We need not go there and settle for crumbs of a fragile peace instead of a whole and healthy life.

    Israel has offered a Peace Plan, and settlement on 5 different occasions, but the leader of the Palestinians turned it down each time. Now when one protest's on the side of Israel, they agree that Israel has a right to exist, and that Israel has a Right to defend herself. As for those protesting on the side of the Palestinians, speaks for itself.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following. Specifically, the pact states : This Memorandum of Understanding outlines the definitive electoral and governing alliance that will be executed upon Yuri Fulmer’s election as Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia OneBC Party commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in 88 of British Columbia’s 93 electoral districts. In exchange, the Conservative Party of BC, under the leadership of Yuri Fulmer, commits to not nominating or authorizing candidates in five (5) specific electoral districts . OneBC will be the sole standard-bearer for the right in those five districts. The specific ridings will be determined through mutual negotiation and fin...

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

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...
