“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 – The Great Reset for Canadians

 

It is not the reset the United Nations and World Economic Forum are proposing. We don’t need those unelected and unaccountable geniuses (in their minds) controlling our nation and our lives.

Even the dullest among us understand that we have locked ourselves into a downward spiral. When our spending consistently exceeds income, there can be no happy ending.

We have become a nation bound in the chains of failing ideologies and sacred cows. Our politicians are avoiding accountability and pretending that they have no viable solutions to continual deficits.

Enter Moya Greene with a no-holds-barred ground-shaking plan proposing everything from tax increases and deep spending cuts to streamlining the public service to privatization for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This is a plan needed from coast to coast to coast.

Please take time to read the entire article. It is well worth it.

I do not advocate adopting the Greene report recommendation across all jurisdictions as impacts will vary from province to province. Still, we desperately need a new perspective and thinking outside the current political boxes that hem us in. We have not had a fresh approach to our difficulties in decades and, without creative thinking, will become victims of insolvency, runaway inflation, or likely both.

Failure to deal harshly with planning dependent on increased debt levels will drive our population into poverty and sharply reduced living standards. Our MPs, MLAs, and MPPs are directors of our governments and have an inescapable fiduciary responsibility to govern prudently. Continual deficit spending should land them in prison.

Tossing Justin Trudeau is not enough. We need governments committed to finding a path for us to live within our means. The alternative is for all but the most wealthy to suffer degradation of our living standards.

We need to dig in our heels and refuse to allow our governments to drive us into poverty so we will accept slavery. We are perilously close to that at present.

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...
