“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.

'Very good news' that Supreme Court will hear B.C. mineral claims case, Eby says

The BC government needs clarity from the Supreme Court of Canada on a landmark mineral rights claim, Premier David Eby says. But the lawyer representing the challenger says that they would have preferred the province respect the lower court's decision. Eby said Thursday it is very good news that the court will hear its appeal of a ruling that found the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the provincial mineral claims regime are "inconsistent." The BC Court of Appeal ruled in December that the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, or DRIPA, should be "properly interpreted" to incorporate the UN declaration into the laws of B.C. with immediate legal effect. That ruling set off the appeal from the province amid concerns that it could cause economic uncertainty ... CLICK HERE for the full story

EBY OFFSIDE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST AS CARNEY AND SMITH BUILD BC'S ECONOMIC FUTURE WITHOUT HIM ~~ BC Conservatives

IMAGE CREDIT :  CBC News   Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a landmark agreement today committing Ottawa to designate a new pipeline to BC's west coast as a project of national interest by October 1, 2026, with construction approval targeted for September 1, 2027. The deal pairs the pipeline with a new industrial carbon pricing framework and a fall 2027 construction start. British Columbia, the province where the pipeline ends, where the jobs would land, and where the export terminal would be built, was nowhere at the table. "This is a nation-building deal, and the BC NDP have been locked out of the room," said Trevor Halford, Interim Leader of the Official Opposition.  "While the Prime Minister and the Premier of Alberta were doing the hard work of growing the Canadian economy, the NDP is on the sidelines calling this pipeline a 'fiction' and an 'energy vampire.'  He chose petulance over partnership, and now BC ...

Kamloops - North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer speaks to Bill 20 — K’ómoks Treaty Act

The following is a condensed version of Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s remarks, to the BC Legislature, on the afternoon of Tuesday May 19th : I rise today to continue remarks on Bill 20, the K’ómoks treaty, and to address what I believe are some of the most important constitutional, democratic and governance concerns facing this Legislature today. At the centre of this debate are two major issues. First, unresolved overlapping territorial boundaries tied to this treaty process. And second, the growing legal and political consequences arising from the provincial government’s implementation of the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, more commonly known as DRIPA. Much of the government’s defence on DRIPA rests upon references to the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, commonly known as UNDRIP. And this is where we must begin having a more honest and mature conversation in this province. UNDRIP was never originally designed to function ...
