“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

RICK PETERSON: I’d like to thank you and all our Centre Ice Canadians supporters for three significant accomplishments


I’d like to thank you and all our Centre Ice Canadians supporters for three significant accomplishments:

1. “Thank you!” for the strong support of Advisory Council Chair Dominic Cardy’s announcement last week that he’s leading a group that is launching The Canadian Future Party. If you’d like to learn more and get involved, please click here.

2. “Thank you!” for the strong fundraising support over these past few weeks. We have now raised the full $30K required to pay the final amount owing on the national survey that was a key factor in the decision to move ahead with the formation of a new party. 

As you’ll see further below, to fully wind up our efforts we’ll need to raise a final $3,500 for our last remaining legal and accounting fees - if you can help with that please Donate Here.  
 
3. “Thank you!” for your huge support over the past 18 months that has allowed us to host three policy conferences, listen to Canadians from coast-to-coast to coast, highlight key issues and voices that are important in Canada today, and take steps - by creating a policy and governance framework and harnessing the efforts of several hundred volunteers - to launching a new federal party. 

Our work is nearly done. Next Friday, October 6th we will be shutting down the Centre Ice Canadians website and social media platforms. We will be engaging an accounting firm to perform a final audit and financial statements, and once that it is done, we will be formally dissolving Centre Ice Canadians as a corporation.
 
None of the personal data we’ve accumulated will be shared with anyone. The Centre Ice donation portal as well as the monthly Centre Ice recurring donation subscriptions will all be shut down by Friday, October 6th at the latest, or as soon as the final $3,500 has been reached to pay our accounting fees. Again, if you can help with that please Donate Here.
 
Finally, next Wednesday, October 4th, I will give you a complete accounting of our activities, fundraising totals and expenses prior to us shutting down on Friday, October 6th.
    
With your support, we’re making history in Canadian politics. There’s a long road ahead, but what we’ve all done together in the past 18 months is truly remarkable and exceptional.
 
For that, our whole team at Centre Ice Canadians would like to offer our deepest thanks and gratitude.
 
All the best.
 
Rick Peterson
Co-founder & Director

Nurses Take Job Action After Years of NDP Neglect

Image Credit:  BC Nurses Union BC nurses have reached a breaking point after years of unsafe conditions, rising violence in the workplace and a government that wouldn’t listen. Now they are on the picket line fighting to be heard. Last week, nurses began job action with a 72-hour strike notice, refusing non-essential overtime and stepping back from non-nursing duties. As of Tuesday, they have escalated to picket lines for the first time in decades. This moment was avoidable. It is the result of years of unanswered concerns from the frontline workers who keep our hospitals running. Nurses have been raising the same concerns for years: unsafe staffing levels, rising violence on the job, and a workload no single person should have to carry. None of it is new, and none of it should have taken a strike vote to get the government's attention. "Nurses are exercising their legal right to job action, but it shouldn’t have had to come to this," said Kiel Giddens, MLA for...

British Columbians Still Don’t Know Who’s Paying for NDP’s BC Hydro Deal

The NDP is making billion-dollar promises with BC Hydro, but British Columbians still don’t know who will pay the bill. Last week’s memorandum of understanding isn’t what the federal government and the NDP are making it out to be. It’s an admission that the NDP failed to make the long-term investments needed to keep B.C. powered. Now British Columbians have serious questions about the cost and whether BC Hydro ratepayers will end up paying the price. David L. Williams, MLA for Salmon Arm-Shuswap and Shadow Minister for BC Hydro and Electrical Energy Development , said British Columbians deserve clear answers about the full implications of the Canada–British Columbia Cooperative Prosperity Agreement. “British Columbians deserve the full truth,” said Mr. Williams. “This multi-billion-dollar announcement does not answer who pays for cost overruns, who pays for new generation, who carries the risk if industrial customers do not materialize, or whether ratepayers will be forced ...

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...
