“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

Stewart Muir - What Trump’s return means for Canada


The U.S. election has delivered a dramatic result, with Donald J. Trump becoming the first former president to return to the White House after a term out of office since Grover Cleveland. This election has stirred strong emotions and raised significant questions about credibility, economic focus, and public trust. Many Americans clearly felt their economic concerns weren’t being addressed by the status quo, and that same discontent is rippling through Canadian political conversations.

As our Margareta Dovgal discusses in her latest piece, a key takeaway for Canadian policymakers is that relevance comes from addressing these real economic anxieties and embracing the broad range of perspectives that many voters feel are ignored by traditional gatekeepers.

Meanwhile, on our side of the border, it’s clear British Columbians are rethinking how resource development fits into a balanced and sustainable economy. Last week, we launched our “Voters Have Spoken” radio campaign, which amplifies the voices of BC residents calling for a strong future built on responsible resource development. BC’s natural resource sectors could be the key to sustainable growth, especially in uncertain economic times.

Looking beyond, Jerome Gessaroli’s new series tackles the global emissions crisis, examining why current strategies are failing to make significant progress. His work highlights that solely domestic approaches won’t be enough, urging policymakers to explore international solutions for real impact. The first article, "The Global Emissions Challenge: Why Current Strategies Are Falling Short," is available now.

With more in-depth analysis, including insights on Canadian LNG and BC’s economic potential, this newsletter brings you essential updates from an evolving resource landscape.

Until next time,

PECKFORD -- Authoritarian governments in our own time, from the Nazi period to the USSR, have crippled democracy and freedom and yet we have not learned

Just come right out and say it ... it’s China ... and it’s communist. So there ... I said it! And its a virus, the corona virus, that came from China — the China Virus. Oh, yah it has a fancy name —but this keeps it simple and identifies its origin. Imagine that!!! Of course, now that Trump has said it, he, being a virus to most China sensitive people (and that’ s just about everyone) none will say it now —- And the political correctness and hypocrisy of it all. The World Health Organization changed all that a few years ago and like sheep we all followed along. No more geographic naming —that’s an order —-George Orwell is turning over in his grave. Of course, this WHO is part of the UN that has a Human Rights Council full of human rights violators whose sole purpose in life is to bring resolutions against the only democracy in the Middle East. Nice civilized crowd don’t you think?? We all put up with this charade every day and conti...

Khadr played upon the democratic freedoms and rights that Canadian have

WELL I CERTAINLY STIRRED UP REACTION when my last post went online , as well as other comments, which were made online elsewhere.  People opposed, to what I had to say, had comments which included the following:   Okay, I'm f - - king sick of the idiocy and done with writing a diatribe every single time a friend posts about how they're upset that Trudeau is giving a terrorist $10m. ... You people are.... willfully ignorant and hypocritical .. ·          God help us. What’s next everybody is “packing”, burning crosses, and having segregated bathrooms.  This rhetoric is disturbing.  Canadians are better than this. My mind is in awe of the number of people who have no respect for what being tortured actually means. Who foolishly think that they wouldn't break ... If our governments are willing to trap and torture people on foreign soil then we h...
