“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

BLAKE NEWTON: Trudeau is finished – he hasn’t grasped that concept. He will. But it's going to be when there's no rope left to cling to.


RE:  338 Canada: Conservative Blowout in Cloverdale—Langley City, Liberals in Shambles

Another nail in the coffin.

The latest from political prognosticators Tom Mulcair is that he believes that a few things will happen.

Number one is that in late January Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will prorogue parliament as NDP and Bloc support will climb, probably not much, but enough to challenge for the official opposition -- which is the best they can hope for given the lackluster performance of Singh as leader.

The point is that it's apparent that Trudeau is finished. His poll numbers are in the toilet.

Initially he hoped that a Trump presidency would shock people into voting for him. That never happened.

Then he hoped that the GST holiday would give him a modicum of support. That again was a forlorn hope.

The next gambit was the expansion of the Order in Council, which if anything outlined a precedence of property right intrusion... And people saw through that.

Then a senior cabinet minister (Chrystia Freeland) quit because Trudeau was going to sideline her (as well as her wanting to run for the leadership of the Liberal party). Then Liberal MP and Housing Minister Sean Fraser walked away from the Liberal Party, saying he was retiring to spend time with his family and children.

Finally this.

There's no doubt in my mind that Trudeau is finished. Should he try to hold on, even that will be the end. It's rather like what happened to Kevin Falcon, except that Falcon knew that if he challenged John Rustad’s Conservatives, BC United would be completely wiped out. Trudeau, however, has not grasped that concept.

He will. But it's going to be when there's no rope left to cling to.

FORSETH -- Given the noted infractions of this agreement with OneBC leader Dallas Brodie, I request the Party immediate suspend the leadership campaign of Yuri Fulmer

I have personally emailed the following to the Board and Administration of the Conservative Party of BC:   TODAY (03/30) Yuri Fulmer, a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of BC, made a pact with ONEBC leader Dallas Broldie, that if he is elected will commit the Conservative Party to the following.

Delays to the replacement of the Red Bridge? Kamloops North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer says they are, “Totally Unacceptable.”

I think it’s totally unacceptable that on one hand the Ministry of Transportation and Transit (MoTT) is saying they’re going to be responsible for putting together multiple replacement options with public engagement, and then in the same breath they're saying, ‘Oh, and by the way, we're going to start our geotechnical environmental and archaeological site assessments on both sides of the river, possibly beginning this summer.’ According to Stamer, that should already have been done. “Obviously, we're pretty sure it will be in the same location because there's really no other place to put it. So, if you're going to put in a bridge, you think that at least you'd be doing the archaeological assessments first off”, stated Stamer.   “If it's determined it has to be a free-span bridge, and it can't have anything or very minimal impact in the riverbed, they should already be determining that. It would help in the design, wouldn't it?” Stamer indicated...

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...
