“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.

Okanagan Farmers Face NDP-Created Water Crisis ~~ BC Conservatives

Okanagan farmers are facing a water crisis as government-imposed restrictions threaten to kill their crops and destroy one of B.C.’s most important agricultural industries. In perhaps the most water-rich province in the country, our farmers have been left high and dry by the NDP government. For nine weeks, Okanagan and Shuswap farmers have proposed solutions, only to be met with NDP foot-dragging. Now forest fires have come to these regions as they are simultaneously reckoning with a water crisis that has been made worse through years of government inaction. Vernon-area farms have lost 70 percent of their water, while Kelowna and Summerland growers face severe restrictions. This situation is unacceptable and cannot continue. Ian Paton, Shadow Minister for Agriculture, said the NDP is once again forcing farmers to pay for its own failure to plan. "Farmers and ranchers must be listened to when decisions affecting their livelihoods are made, and under the NDP, they aren’t," said...

BC Conservatives Point to Warning Signs in BC’s Economy

While Canada posted modest job gains in July, warning lights are still flashing in British Columbia. Youth unemployment remains stubbornly high, leaving too many first-time jobseekers shut out of the workforce. BC also lost 3,400 public administration jobs in July, likely as temporary Census positions ended. “BC's jobs divide remains stark. Unemployment is far higher in business-driven communities like Kelowna (9.3%) and Abbotsford-Mission (8.3%) than in Victoria (5.0%). Government should be focused on creating the conditions for private-sector investment and job growth,” said Gavin Dew, MLA for Kelowna-Mission and Shadow Minister for Economic Development. “We need an economy where young people can find work, businesses can hire, and every region has the opportunity to prosper.” This comes as BC faces five straight quarters where more businesses are closing than opening, an NDP cabinet rift over job-creating projects like Tilbury LNG, and fresh signs that even the province's to...

FORSETH: That, to me, sure seems to fit with narcissistic personality disorder – AND - a definite sense of self entitlement

I think most people are aware of why England’s Henry the 8th created the Church of England. It was out of a belief that he should be able to do anything he wanted. And what did he want?  It was a male heir that would follow him and, at his death, become the next King of England.   His marriage to Catherine had not produced one, so he demanded the Pope to allow him to divorce her.  The Pope of course refused so Henry created his own church, and declared himself the "Supreme Head of the Church of England", thereby allowing him to annul the marriage. In other words, he wanted his own way, and because he had the ultimate power in England, he forced his will over the church. Many (most?) would say people suffer like that from 'narcissistic personality disorder'. The Mayo Clinic says, “ People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence, they are not sure of their self-worth and are e...
