“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

A 22-year-old staffer who claimed to work for Trump, and posted antisemitic comments, is being blamed for the OneBC implosion (The Tyee)

As the far-right party OneBC implodes, accusations are flying across social media — and many of them involve a 22-year-old Vancouver man and OneBC staffer who once claimed to work for the Donald Trump administration and has posted a variety of antisemitic and white nationalist content online.

In a Dec. 14 post on X, Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie said she demanded Othman Mekhloufi be fired when she discovered “values Mekhloufi has expressed publicly, online and offline, that are absolutely incompatible with my personal and OneBC values”  ...

... Who is Othman Mekhloufi?

Mekhloufi attended University Hill Secondary in Vancouver, according to a source who went to the same school. An archived link shows he was active in debate club.

Mekhloufi has already received scrutiny for the content of his X account, @OthmanOnX. The account has now been made private, although it still includes a link to Mekhloufi’s website.

In January 2025, when the account was still public, some of its claims came to the attention of U.S. Democrat activist and political candidate Will Stancil. He took a stab at researching some of the account’s claims.

At that time, @OthmanOnX was posting photos of the White House and talking about being a member of the then-new Trump administration ...

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...

Conservative leadership candidate would move some resource officials out of Victoria

... While he is emphasizing his usual campaign priorities including his leadership experience and plans for the future, Black also revealed a philosophy that he has yet to speak of publicly. While in the forest-sector dependent community of Castlegar, Black told Castlegar News that if he were eventually elected as premier, he would like to re-locate some bureaucrats from Victoria to the areas rich in the resource sectors they represent. “Why is the chief forester of British Columbia in Victoria, why isn’t that office out where the forestry is?” asked Black. “We need to get senior officials, that impact the livelihoods of our communities, out of Victoria and in offices elsewhere ...

US Tribes Using DRIPA to Expand Influence in British Columbia

The BC Conservatives are sounding the alarm after receiving multiple filings in the BC Supreme Court in which U.S.-based Indigenous tribes are relying on DRIPA, UNDRIP, and the Interpretation Act to assert greater recognition of Aboriginal rights and direct involvement in British Columbia affairs. “This is a clear and growing sovereignty crisis,” said Scott McInnis, Critic for Indigenous Relations. “The Premier himself has referred to the DRIPA situation as an existential threat to British Columbia, and has said amendments are non‑negotiable. We are now seeing exactly why.” Court cases reveal that American tribes are attempting to leverage DRIPA to gain standing and influence inside BC. “It is becoming increasingly clear that DRIPA is being weaponized in ways never transparently disclosed to British Columbians,” McInnis said. “Allowing U.S. tribes to expand their reach into BC governance is deeply concerning and completely unacceptable.” One notable case, brought by a group of Alaskan ...
