“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

MLA John Rustad: Premier Eby Must Apologize to Law Enforcement for Supporting Hateful Protest

 


September 25th, 2023 — VANCOUVER, BC: 

"I have seen video footage from the counter-protest on September 20th which shows organizers chanting hateful rhetoric against British Columbian law enforcement officers. This is deeply disturbing. 

 

"Premier David Eby's BC NDP government, CUPE, and the British Columbia Teachers Federation who endorsed the hateful counter-protest on September 20th owe an apology to British Columbia's Police, RCMP, and Peace Officers. 

 

"Men and women in law enforcement risk their lives everyday to keep our communities safe. It is deeply upsetting to see this government and union backed public display of hate against our Police and RCMP officers. 

 

"In fact, just this past Saturday, NDP politicians took to social media to publicly mourn RCMP Constable Rick O'Brien — Constable O'Brien made the greatest sacrifice while protecting Coquitlam residents, losing his life to keep British Columbians safe. 

 

"Do BC NDP politicians have no shame? 

 

"It is the peak of hypocrisy to support activists chanting hate speech against law enforcement on Wednesday, then to mourn the tragic death of an RCMP officer three days later on Saturday.  

 

"Yet, this is exactly what many BC NDP politicians have done this past week. 

 

"Our men and women in law enforcement are not "killers" and they do not "hate kids". This language is hateful and wrong — Premier David Eby's BC NDP government should not be supporting activists who spread hate and demonize our men and women in law enforcement. 

 

"British Columbians deserve better, and so do our Police and RCMP officers."

FORSETH: Without a strong local presence, there is NO reason for anyone to tune in to local(?) radio

LOCAL HOMETOWN RADIO IS DYING … and without serious measures put in place, it will likely never see the light of day again. For well over four decades, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) has presided over its’ demise, and for that I say, “Shame”. Without out a word to say enough was enough, the CRTC has allowed corporate Canada to buy up one radio station after the other, and then allowed them to slash staff to the point where some so-called local radio stations do nothing more than air programming that originates from communities well outside the region in which they are located. Case in point?   On CHNL* 610 in Kamloops, the morning show hosted by Vinnie and Randi, DOES NOT originate from Kamloops -- it doesn’t even originate here in BC. It’s a program that Stingray airs across multiple radio stations in Western Canada. It doesn’t end there. Not only are Vinnie and Rando doing mornings on CHNL, but they also show up on sister station Country 103 … and of course o...

WARD STAMER -- We need certainly in our markets, and certainly in our fibre supply, before we no longer have a forest industry in this province

Image Government of BC I think we all realize that the threat of Trump’s 25% tariff is like other provocative statements he’s made in the past. That said, we should have reason to be concerned. Tariffs don’t benefit anyone. A tariff of that magnitude – included on our own softwood lumber exports, will make things more expensive for Americans, and cause friction in the supply chain. If imposed, a twenty-five percent tariff will be equally detrimental to the citizens and economy of the United States, as well as the people of BC. There are two things, however, of equal concern to the threat of punitive tariffs by incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. One is our antiquated stumpage fees. It is a legacy from decades ago, and one incapable of responding to changing market conditions. We need to revamp our stumpage system to better reflect market conditions, and our economic costs. Instead, a value-added tax system will be instantly responsive to current market conditions and will encou...
