“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.

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...
