“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 – We are up to our armpits in alligators, and leaders want to plan for the future before sorting out the colossal mess they have made at home

 

It seems that G-7 leaders are capable of slapstick comedy.


They are still clinging to policies that failed to contain coronavirus, have not recovered from the virus, and have not begun to rebuild devastated economies.

The WHO secretary-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has a questionable past as a shill for dictators and a close alliance with China, so he is not an ideal guide for G-7 leaders. Moreover, Tedros ignored warnings about how contagious the coronavirus was and refused to eliminate international travel to contain the virus.

In March 2020, Tedros did a 180-degree turn and went from assuring us there was little danger to issuing alarms that coronavirus was very dangerous and required drastic action for containment. It was too late to prevent an epidemic from becoming a pandemic, and I suspect that was deliberate.

If we step back for a moment, the G-7 leaders are up to their eyes in the global warming and climate change alarmism that has not affected our climate for decades. Global warming is barely measurable. The only failures are missing silly carbon reduction targets nations have created for themselves. That should have had severe negative results but did not. No explanations are forthcoming.

The coronavirus containment plan was the same doomsday alarmism and assurances that we could contain the virus if we locked down businesses and people. It worked – in a couple of nations that closed borders and shut down early, preventing import of the virus.

G-7 nations did not escape.

We are up to our armpits in alligators, and leaders want to plan for the future before sorting out the colossal mess they have made at home. Until they have fully restored our freedoms and rights and rebuilt our economy to ramp up our GDP and achieve full employment, they cannot understand the factors that affect a plan to avoid another pandemic.

Tedros’s whining about the unfairness of the race to immunize is tiresome, typical socialist crap that fails to recognize G-7 nations funded the development of vaccines. Without that initiative, there would be no way to counter coronavirus.

If Tedros and his ilk have their way and impoverish first-world nations to make the world fairer, the next pandemic will kill off a significant portion of the world’s population. Destroying our economies puts us on the road to slavery.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to focus full attention on restoring our freedoms and rights and creating a business climate that allows entrepreneurs to thrive.|

The alternative is to resign as PM and join Mark Carney and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). That way, we rid ourselves of two pieces of useless baggage.

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...
