“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

FORSETH – “Never again”, cannot simply be a phrase, it needs to mean something. NATO in ... RUSSIA out

 

I can’t help but feel I am not alone in worrying, and wondering, about what the world can do following the rolling of Russia’s military in to the sovereign and independent country of Ukraine.

 

Just 39 years old when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) collapsed at the end of 1991, former military intelligence officer Vladimir Putin seems, by all appearances ready to once again use the hammer of military force to overpower any resistance to his aspirations.

 

While crushing resistance at home to a war which many everyday Russians oppose strongly, and indiscriminate bombing going on in the Ukraine, it seems that the megalomaniac President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, will not counter any resistance to his imperialistic intents.

But now, what should western democratic countries do?

In addition to actual military targets, Putin has unleashed the targeted bombing of schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and homes – with the end result of innocent civilians being killed – no, let’s call it what it is – murdered.

Still, the people of the Ukraine continue to resist Putin’s military forces precision as they continue to take out armoured tanks, troop carriers, planes, and helicopters, and inflicting continues deaths amongst Russian troops which it now appears had no idea they were being sent into war.

Today’s application for membership in the European Union is now being considered, but that will for all intents and purposes only be symbolic.

With the massive military convey of military equipment approaching the Capitol of Kyiv ... and missive bombing of Kharkiv ... what the Ukraine needs now – desperately – is every piece of military equipment that NATO and European countries can provide.

Ukraine can not be allowed to fall, otherwise the entire stability and independence of Eastern European countries will be at risk of Putin making up any excuse to invade former countries of the USSR.

And, unless the United Nations can finally show some teeth and oust Russia from all committees it sits on, and outright declare Russia to be a pariah on the world stage, it’s time for Canada to walk away from this organization.

According to the Charter of the United Nations (UN) itself, the foundation document states it is to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war” ... and one of its main purposes is to maintain international peace and security.


If it cannot, and will not, fulfill its purpose, why are we there ... why are we a member?

Tyranny through brute military force, intimidation, murder, and torture cannot be allowed to continue by any barbaric country on its own, or neighbouring countries.

Which brings me to my final wondering, and that - I'm sure - of many freedom loving Canadians and peoples of the world.
Does that mean NATO troops, including those of Canada, might need to become involved?

If Russia cannot be convinced to withdraw from the Ukraine -- and continues in its attempt to overthrow the government of the Ukraine through military conquest -- then Yes, in my opinion, it does.

“Never again”, cannot simply be a phrase – it needs to mean something.

NATO in --- RUSSIA out!

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...
