“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

KRUGGEL – Is it any wonder why the Liberals are falling further and further behind in the polls. Bad policy doesn't sell.

Everyone agrees that we should keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.


The Federal Liberals though have been at the forefront of making bad decisions on firearms for years. It has been an issue for them that has always cost them votes, and over time, government.

The latest move was triggered by the mass shooting in Nova Scotia in May 2020. The shooter's firearms were all illegally acquired in the United States. He illegally brought them over the border by smuggling them across. He was banned from having a firearms license. He purchased an RCMP car and had it repainted to look current. On three separate occasions the RCMP were made aware of the fact he had illegal firearms and had issued threats to people.

No action was ever taken.

He broke law repeatedly before engaging in Canada's worst shooting rampage.

For this, the Federal Liberal Party of Canada has spent the last four years punishing and persecuting lawful firearms owners.

I am a firearms owner as are 2.35 million other Canadians. We are vetted repeatedly with detailed background checks. We have to follow very strict regulations derived from the Firearms Act. We sign away our privacy to the RCMP to be in compliance. We hold the title of being the demographic least likely to commit any crime.

Yet, the Federal Liberals as the government of Canada have continued to come after us constantly.

Today the Federal Liberals have listed around 350 new firearms, long guns, to be classified as prohibited. These are called "assault -styled" weapons because they look like something you'd see in a movie or violent television program.

They are so rarely used in crimes that they don't show up in the official statistics.

In fact, the vast, vast, vast majority of firearms used in crimes are handguns which are still classified as restricted.

Crimes with handguns have increased substantially under Justin Trudeau's terms in office. Yet, since May 2020 no one in Canada has been able to buy or transfer a handgun to a new owner. Stores aren't allowed to carry them. You cannot buy them online. You cannot order them from the United States or any country.

Handguns used in crimes have skyrocketed. They enter the country illegally along the US border and through our ports. Chinese made 1911 knock-offs are common in this country. They used to be sold legally. Today they come in through Vancouver and elsewhere along the BC coast. There is simply insufficient resources currently patrolling the coast and inspecting containers being offloaded at ships.

Handguns also, as we all know, flow across our border with the United States. They are brought in by various gangs and other criminal operations for use but said groups in this country.

The number of illegal weapons entering this country has not slowed under the Liberal government. It has accelerated.

So today the Liberals are targeting long guns, not handguns, and continue their assault on lawful owners.

Is it any wonder why the Liberals are falling further and further behind in the polls. Bad policy doesn't sell.

FORSETH -- Focus on the nine things I mentioned. That’s what will allow the Conservative Party to win the next election

IMAGE CREDIT:   Darryl Dyck, the Canadian Press. I thought I had already made up my mind who I would be ranking on my ballot, in the Conservative Party of BC leadership race; now I am not so sure.  That means that, at least for me, and perhaps many others, it’s a good thing voting hasn’t already taken place. There were initially only one or two of the candidates that I thought might be a little too right of centre for my liking, now it seems that list is growing. I consider myself more closely aligned with what used to be called a Progressive Conservative, regardless, I feel more than comfortable within the Conservative Party of BC.  Some, however, in messages to me on my political Facebook page, have been rather, shall we say, a bit mean-spirited in comments they’ve made about my ‘purity’ as a conservative. To tell you the truth, I really don’t care! Some leadership candidates, in comments made online, have also been raising the issue of who is a pure enough conservati...

WARD STAMER -- Those are REAL forestry numbers, not just made-up numbers

The following is a condensed version of remarks Kamloops – North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer’s made, regarding Forestry, in the BC Legislature, on Tuesday afternoon (02/24/2026)   Let’s talk a little bit, when we talk about Budget 2026, about the forest industry, which is near and dear to my heart. Forestry remains one of British Columbia’s foundational industries. It’s a pillar that built this province. Entire communities depend upon it. Interior towns, northern communities, Vancouver Island regions, the Kootenays, the Lower Mainland, with manufacturing facilities in Surrey and Maple Ridge, just to name a few — everywhere in BC is touched by forestry. One word that was not mentioned in Budget 2026 was forestry. That’s a shame, an incredible shame. It wasn’t an oversight – it was intentional. This government has driven forestry into the ground .... INTO THE GROUND! We can talk a little bit about some of the initiatives that this government has brought forth, to try to resurrect ...

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...
