Premier Eby of the BC NDP was asked about the NDP's amendment to DRIPA in 2021, but he refused to give a straight honest answer. The people of B.C. are the ones being effected by the BC NDP legislation called DRIPA that resulted in many people in Richmond BC having their properties now owned by the Cowichan band on Vancouver Island. It is long past time that Premier Eby and the NDP be honest with the people of B.C. and admit they made a huge mistake in bringing in that legislation. Instead Eby is being evasive and refusing to answer the media question. De Jong says NDP government disregarded concerns about Interpretation Amendment Act | Watch

Don't forget the billions of dollars per year paid to FN bands or groups. It would be great to know exactly where every dollar went and whether the money actually went to help ordinary, individual FN people.

Why would a pipeline or oil company jump in to build a pipeline now when the Carney government still has all the anti-pipeline anti-energy laws on the books? C69, the no more pipeline law is still in effect, plus carbon capture requirements that may not be possible to meet, and of course the BC north coast tanker ban and industry carbon taxes are all still in effect. That's the real reason why there is no proponent. Carney is the guy holding everything back along with all this liberal MPs and supporters. Canada is dead because of Liberals, FNs who oppose everything unless they can get billions of dollars, and environmentalists.

The judiciary that enables these young criminals should be held sccountable for their crimes. What kind of democracy is this when a handful of appointed judges allow the offenders off to recommit crimes against innocent citizens?

You are confused. Euthanasia is actively killing someone. You and everyone should be providing compassionate care for people in need of it, not offering to end their misery by killing them. That is just plain wrong. What are you saying about "taking up valuable medical resources"? Everyone is entitled to health care as long as they are alive. It's not up to you to decide who can live and who must die. That is God's business. People who are suffering should be given every possible resource to ease their pain. There are many types or kinds of pain killers and methods that are used. If a person no longer wants extraordinary medical intervention, that is different than taking steps to actively kill them. MAID is killing by poison, plain and simple. It is active killing. The purpose of the medical system is to provide compassionate care for everyone until our Creator takes them out of this life. It is grossly wrong to think you can play God.

Christians need to stand for what they believe or their world will be crushed by the woke, liberals, left, progressives, or Islamists. It is happening now in many places. It is coming to a crunch in many places. Christians must defend their right to basic freedoms or it will be taken away. It is happening even in Canada. Some liberal or left politicians are working on bringing in new laws under the guise of eliminating hate speech, but they are taking away basic freedoms in the process. This has already been happening in other countries such as the UK.

But I doubt the separatists in Quebec care what kind of flag we have for Canada. Each province has it's own flag anyway. But I looked at the flags for New Zealand and Australia and they are both very similar. They kept the British Union Jack on their flag. We should have done the same thing. We had a perfectly good flag. This is Australia's flag, followed by New Zealand's flag. They are both Constitutional monarchies and have the same King as we have. I don't like to see our historical symbols being eliminated. Changing Canada's flag probably had more to do with multiculturalism which was and is a big thing to liberals in Canada. Why do we have to change to accommodate immigrants anyway? They should adjust to what we have or don't come here.

A weird one, eh.

Strangely a search engine won't tell me which party brought in equalization payments in 1957. We know the Liberals were in power until June 1957 and then the Conservatives under Diefenbaker took office. Billions of dollars are paid to Ontario and especially Quebec through equalization payments. Much comes from Alberta. Then in 1982 PM Pierre Trudeau, a strong Socialist from Quebec, enshrined equalization payments in the new Constitution, making it guaranteed that Quebec would continue to receive billions of dollars each year from western Canada. In fact, it was Pierre Trudeau that nationalized the Alberta energy industry with his national energy program. I assume that was eventually ended. Of course the reason it ended was equalization payment essentially did the same thing by taking money from the west, particularly Alberta and giving it to Ontario and Quebec. The new maple leaf flag brought in by the Liberals under Lester Pearson in 1965 was a major concession to Quebec. It seems Quebec has been able to milk the rest of Canada all along for everything they want.

Just reading about the Great Canadian Flag Debate in 1965. PM Pearson brought in the new maple leaf flag and got rid of the previous flag, the Canadian Red Ensign. The Red Ensign was the Canadian Armed Forces flag. It showed our connection to the British Commonwealth. The new maple leaf flag got rid of that. Was it to appease Quebec? I don't know. The maple leaf flag was brought in by the Liberals which are a Quebec political party to a large extent. The maple leaf seems to have a lot to do with Quebec if I'm not mistaken. At the time of the flag debate, former PM John Diefenbaker opposed changing the flag to the maple leaf flag. But the Liberals were the government at the time and managed to force it through Parliament. It seems to me our history would be better preserved by keeping the Red Ensign flag as shown below. At least one great thing is the British Columbia flag still has our British roots on it. Not sure how long that will last with the BC NDP trying to hand B.C. over to the natives though. Better not say to much about that. We don't want the BC NDP to get any ideas.

Health Canada released the 2024 euthanasia data on November 28, 2025. The number of euthanasia deaths of people who were not terminally ill increased by 17% to 732.

MAID is NOT death with dignity. That is the biggest lie or fabrication imaginable. Euthanasia (MAID) is about poisoning people to death. That is the truth.

quote Dominik Tarczyński, a member of the European Parliament, has publicly stated that Europe was built on Christian foundations and that the continent should no longer remain silent about its faith heritage. His remarks reflect a growing pushback against decades of cultural hesitation, where religious identity was often sidelined in favor of political neutrality. Supporters see this as a call to defend values, history, and moral roots rather than erase them. The statement has sparked renewed debate across Europe about faith, identity, and the role Christianity has played in shaping its civilization.

We in BC need to get rid of Eby and the NDP asap. They are wrecking this province. This is a disaster.

" David Eby’s government in British Columbia is reeling after two recent court decisions put private property rights in jeopardy. In August, the B.C. Supreme Court’s Cowichan Tribes decision declared that titles to certain properties in the city of Richmond are “defective and invalid.” Adding to Eby’s headache is the Court of Appeal’s ruling in Gitxaala v. British Columbia (Chief Gold Commissioner) , which held that every law and regulation in B.C. must align with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Among other things, UNDRIP refers to “the urgent need to respect and promote the inherent rights of indigenous peoples” and “especially their rights to their lands.” Essentially, a United Nations document has suddenly become a second constitution. Feigning shock, Eby declared last week that he will “go to the wall” to protect the rights of affected Richmond property owners. The province is now talking about offering loan guarantees to homeowners if banks won’t refinance mortgages or buyers can’t secure financing. But these are band-aid solutions that don’t solve the fundamental issue. More than the rights of the Richmond property holders are at stake. Most of B.C. is not covered by treaties, so land claims will continue to come forward. Many more B.C. property owners could be affected. In fact, it’s an even bigger problem than that. Private property held in fee simple is the basis of our economy and our standard of living. Property rights also buttress the basic freedoms we take for granted as citizens of a constitutional democracy." David Livingstone: Eby's failure to protect private property will lead to financial crisis

There is a spiritual warfare going on in the world. It is a struggle between truth and falsehood and between good and evil. Satan wants to keep as many people brainwashed against God as he can. What Satan hates is the King James Bible, because it is based on the Received Text or Majority Manuscripts. The modern versions are a deception and are corrupt. I have a number of books on this and have been reading about it off and on since the 1980s, and more in recent years. The Lord convinced me the King James Bible is actually God's words, the only Bible in English that is not corrupt. One of Satan's biggest attacks against the Bible in the past 150 or 200 years has been the introduction of modern corrupt Bibles. God actually said right in the Bible he would preserve his word forever. See Psalm 12:6, 7 in the KJV. Modern versions have perverted that verse. So I believe the KJV is God's preserved, inerrant word. It is amazing how many people in the churches in town are deceived about this and simply refuse to investigate or listen. They think I am crazy. There are countless articles on it if you Google King James Bible defended Jesus is Savior. Get the book New Age Bible Versions. I should mention the modern versions attack the major doctrines concerning the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, among many other things. They attack His deity, his shed blood, the resurrection, virgin birth, ascension, and many other important things. You can read about this in the book "Beyond Versions". The book is out of print but you can read it online. Google the website called Calvary Pandan Bible Presbyterian Church, go to Resources, select books, scroll down to find the book Beyond Versions, a smaller book. Lots of other interesting books on that page as well. You can read them right there and download them if you wish. Jude 3 tells us to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints.

Actually the BC NDP is forcing their own ideology down everyone's throat in the school system and calling parents who question it hateful. The BC Conservatives platform says they will change that. " Classrooms for learning, not ideology Ideology has no place in a classroom, and parents are tired of being called “hateful” by the NDP for asking basic questions about the material that kids are being exposed to. When kids go to school, parents trust and expect the school to provide a quality education in a safe environment – not activist ideology that could send kids down a dangerous path. Students should be taught how to think, not what to think. To protect kids, restore parental rights, and get schools focused on learning, the Conservative Party of BC will: Replace SOGI 123 with zero-tolerance anti-bullying programs and supports, which is how SOGI 123 was originally – and falsely – marketed to parents. All students must be genuinely protected from the threat of bullying, and Conservatives will do what it takes to keep kids safe. Identify and remove lesson plans, seminars, policy guides, curriculum elements, and practices stemming from SOGI 123. Respect parental rights and protect kids by ensuring that parents are immediately informed of suicidal ideations by their child. Uplift all kids by ensuring the ideological neutrality of classroom materials, and that kids are made to feel proud about who they are. Education should be about uplifting students into their full potential." Backgrounder: Excellence in Education - A Learning-First Approach - Conservative Party of BC | Conservative Party of British Columbia Eliminate the ideology and focus on learning. Include the basics of our Christian roots from the Bible would help too.

Except, schools in Canada brainwash children with their anti-Christian ideology such as the fake theory of evolution and SOGI.

I reworded my post you are referring to and included the BC school SOGI 123 curriculum. (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity). Now that is forcing an ideology down kids throats if anything is. That is anti-Christian and anti-Bible. It is destructive to the family structure and destructive to society. Having a short Bible reading once a day at the start of school never hurt anyone. It is constructive and makes sense. It is not forcing anything down anyone's throat. Our western society is built on Judeo-Christian principles or values. That should be the focus in order to protect our family structure and society in general. It is foolish to try to ignore the God of the Bible in the school system. Schools are indoctrinating children with radical left / progressive / woke ideology now.

In Canada, they tried to take any reference to the God of the Bible out of schools. At one time, schools had a Bible reading time each day. They stopped that long ago. But they teach anti-Christian and anti-Bible ideology. In B.C. the BC NDP controls the education system curriculum and has "SOGI 123, or Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, was established in schools in 2016 by the then-ruling B.C. Liberals, as part of anti-bullying policies. Rustad was a cabinet minister in that government. How turfing SOGI and banning books became part of B.C.'s election SOGI 123 is not a curriculum but provides guides and resources to help teachers address discrimination and bullying, create supportive and inclusive environments for 2SLGBTQ+ students and acknowledge varying genders and sexual orientations." B.C. Conservatives' education platform includes ending SOGI 123 | CBC News Teachers are not allowed to teach whatever they want in Canada. They must follow the curriculum given them by government. In BC that's the NDP curriculum.

No it's not, it's late-stage capitulation to ignorance. quote David starts two Psalms with "The fool has said in his heart there is no God" (Psalms 14 & 53). On the first of April, people will be trying to make fools out of others. That's just a bit of fun. But when one makes a fool of oneself, by disbelief in God, nobody laughs. Why is a person a fool not to believe in God? 1 The Creation Declares God The creation leads a sensible person to acknowledge God's existence. " The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. " Psalms 19:1 KJV Romans 1:18-20 "18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" We may not be able to know or to prove the certainty of God's existence if we look only at the natural world. But the hypothesis at least cannot be denied, except foolishly. There is exquisite design and order in the created world, all the more remarkable when we observe it emerging from chaos. In the face of this, it is foolish to say "There is no God." 2 God Declares Himself God has revealed himself to mankind. God's truth was placed in the world. Paul asserts that, since the creation of the world, "they knew God" (Romans 1:21). Even pagan peoples retain some of that revelation in recognisable form. Then of course there is the Holy Bible which reveals God and his purpose for mankind. 3 The Nation of Israel Declares God God revealed himself in a special way to one nation Israel. To them God gave "the glory and the covenants" (Romans 9:4) in a special dispensation that is one of the best documented and detailed series of events in ancient history. We are not talking here merely about a book, the Old Testament, although its credentials are unassailable. But we are talking about a race of people (the Jews) and a city (Jerusalem) which are the tangible outcome of God's special revelation to, and special relationship with the original Israelites. 4 Jesus Christ Reveals God In an even more special manner, God revealed himself in Jesus of Nazareth. The testimony about this person's existence, and about his crucifixion and resurrection from the dead, is in the form of written eye-witness documents. The story of Jesus Christ is a matter of fact, not of superstition. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory" is one eye-witness's testimony (1John 1:1-4, John 1:1,14). There are no reasonable grounds for rejecting such evidence. None but “a fool” disbelieves in God, and in his scheme of redemption for life everlasting through his Son. 5 Only a Fool Denies God You cannot sensibly say, “There is no God.” because you would have to know all things and be aware of everything that exists. Can human beings say, “We know and have discovered all things”? If not, then they are in no position to intelligently say, “There is no God”. If God "dwells in unapproachable light which no [mortal] has seen or can see" (1Timothy 6:16), then we cannot discover God directly. Of course we can determine the existence of God in other ways, as we have discussed. It is thus foolish to say God doesn't exist on the grounds that current scientific method hasn't found him. unquote The Fool - Five Reasons Why it is Foolish Not to Believe in God

Many "secularists" claim they oppse God in public life such as schools, but they have their own god they follow, whether it is their progressivism or woke or Communism or money and earthly pleasures such as illicit sex or drugs. It becomes their god.
