“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

Green Energy or Greenwashing? Inside FortisBC’s ‘Renewable Gas’ Claims (The Tyee)


Northeast Pennsylvania is home to the state’s largest landfill, almost three square kilometres of household and industrial waste, a grey moonscape of trash almost the size of Stanley Park.

On the dump’s western corner, not far from the town of Scranton, a column of silver compressors works away, turning the landfill’s methane into “renewable natural gas” by a company owned by BP, formerly British Petroleum.

Its biggest customer so far is FortisBC, British Columbia’s largest natural gas utility, supplying 1.2 million customers across the province . . . .

STAMER: Forestry isn’t a side industry — and if Premier Eby and Minister Parmar keep ignoring it, everything else will collapse with it

Premier Eby’s mandate letter to Forests Minister Ravi Parmar ordered the ministry to help the forestry sector achieve a harvest target of 45 million cubic metres per year—a staggering 50% increase over last year’s total. That sounds good on paper. But it’s not going to happen. And when it doesn’t, you can already hear the excuses: permitting delays, overlapping consultations, a permitting backlog, and the usual regulatory maze. Now there’s talk of Ottawa imposing quotas on Canadian softwood exports to the United States, a move that would add even more uncertainty. And you can bet this NDP government will use it as another excuse to stand back and let the annual allowable cut continue to slide further downward, pretending their hands are tied. Well, we don’t have the luxury of pretending. Even if the total harvest is only 30 million cubic metres, BC Timber Sales should still be producing at least 6 million. Instead, it’s on track to deliver less than three. That’s not sustainable—not fo...

Kamloops burial story only questioned by Parks Canada (Western Standard)

On February 12, 2025, Parks Canada announced the designation of the Kamloops, BC Indian Residential School as a national historic site. Surprisingly, it omitted any reference to the alleged graves containing 215 missing children in an adjoining apple orchard. “The Kamloops Indian Residential School was the largest institution in a system designed to carry out what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission described as cultural genocide,” Parks Canada said in a statement. No reason was given for omitting reference to unmarked burial sites. Now we know why ... CLICK HERE for the full story

Á'a:líya Warbus: Right-hand woman to BC Conservative leader John Rustad - First Nations leader and hip-hop singer does a lot of "heavy lifting" for the Conservatives

Sto:lo Nation member Áʼa꞉líya Warbus, a documentary filmmaker, Capilano University instructor and one-time hip-hop artist, readily acknowledges that of course she was criticized for running as a candidate for the BC Conservative Party. Warbus, 40, has no trouble going against stereotypes, countering cliches and breaking down barriers. Inspired by her well-known father, Steven Point — a former Sto:lo Nation chief, former B.C. lieutenant governor, and former university chancellor — she wants to do what is best for Indigenous people and the wider culture ...
