“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 -- Our freedoms are not negotiable. We will not return to the rule of kings no matter what Carney chooses to call it


 

What Carney ultimately wants is a technocratic dictatorship justified by climate alarmism   Peter Foster / National Post / Jun 05, 2021


In his book Value(s): Building a Better World for All, Mark Carney, former Governor both of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, claims that western society is morally rotten, and that it has been corrupted by capitalism, which has brought about a “climate emergency” that threatens life on earth. This, he claims, requires rigid controls on personal freedom, industry and corporate funding.

Carney’s views are important because he is UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance. He is also an adviser both to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on the next big climate conference in Glasgow, and to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...

Mr. Carney is an academic and bureaucrat, graduating from Harvard in 1988, then on to the University of Oxford at St Peter’s college and Neufeld college, where he receives a master’s degree (1993) and doctoral degree (1995). He joined Goldman Sachs in 1990 and spent 13 years with the firm.

In 2003 he joined the Bank of Canada and, in 2004, became an associate Deputy Minister of Finance.

In 2007, Carney was appointed Governor of the Bank of Canada. In 2012, Carney was appointed Governor of the Bank of England.

In 2020, Carney was appointed as United Nations special envoy for climate action and finance and was appointed vice-chairman at Brookfield Asset Management. He leads the firm’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) and impact fund investment strategy.

Carney has never been elected or been held accountable for anything. He has never raised capital to start a business or met a payroll but claims that he will do a better job of running Canada than we can.

The financial crisis we endure was caused by politicians flailing about trying to contain the spread of a virus and failing. Their tactics put severe stress on the small business sector, which is the primary engine of our economy and our largest employer by far.

Canada was built by people determined to live in a democracy under the rule of law where persons could exercise inalienable rights and freedoms.

Freedoms and rights carry with them accountability and responsibility. We have the right to be wrong, and if we make poor choices, we suffer the consequences. Our freedoms are not negotiable. We will not return to the rule of kings no matter what Carney chooses to call it.

Instead of studying Karl Marx (1818 – 1883), Fredrick Engels (1820 – 1895), and Vladimir Lenin (1870 – 1924), he might read through the history of the Magna Carta (1215 - present). We are not about to toss away 806 years of development of British common law because Mr. Carney feels we have too many freedoms, and he wants to control us.

When Mr. Carney and his lot show us they can exercise control over China or Russia, we will give them a hearing. Approaching us with a discredited climate change scam indicates defective analytical abilities.

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...
