  • This quote:

    Now, the Cowichan Tribes have publicly stated that private owners cannot sell their properties without Cowichan consent,[15] and lenders are refusing to renew mortgages because the collateral is now legally defective.

    With this foot note:

    [15] https://www.conservative.ca/canada-must-defend-property-rights/

    “The lead lawyer for the Cowichan Tribes has already stated that private land sales would need the consent of the Cowichan before they could go ahead.

    I could only find this in writing.

    Vancouver Sun article

    He meant if owners of those lands attempted to sell to anyone else. The transaction would need the consent of the Cowichan before it could go ahead, Rosenberg told CKNW host Jas Johal recently.

    “I fully anticipate that the seller or vendor will get what they are bargaining for, and the purchaser would also get what they are bargaining for,” said Rosenberg.

    “But it would be with the consent of the Cowichan Nation and it would be with some accommodation from the Crown (government) to the Cowichan Nation.”

    That is a big change already. No wonder Sharma has been expediting work on the appeal.

    I then found this clip for the interview and I’m going have to say getting information from the Conservative.ca is already questionable but the way the author framed it is even worse.

    Here’s the clip for people who want to hear the entire context of it.

    2m21s length.

  • This format isnt very popular these days. Most people actually reading these type of article is going to be presented with information they’ve seen quite a few times. Now with links and tool tips it really isn’t a lot of reason to rehash things to this extent.

    I do see why they would put in a magazine.



  • I don’t want to call this guy a liar but I strongly perceive when someone doesn’t go to a private healthcare when they run out of public options, it has a lot more to do with them not being able to afford it and not much to do with beliefs.

    Dr. Martin Potter worked in the public system for two decades before opening a private clinic, where he says he has more freedom to hire as he wants and see patients as he pleases.

    “I see a lot of patients who already have a family doctor, but they can’t see them in a timely fashion, so they make an appointment with me, and I’m happy to help them out,” Potter said.

    “People who don’t believe in private care won’t come and see me. But the people who do see me … the majority are very happy.”





  • Reminds me of one of the first things Pierre said when did he return tour. He tried to doing the “carbon Carney” thing again where he said there was still this industrial tax that can be indirectly passed on to people.

    I was thinking how it was funny Conservative voters didn’t take that as him admitting his campaign sucked. Because what he’s saying any tax that exists get passed onto people in which case why didn’t he campaign on repealing ALL taxes.


  • This article lacks substance.

    While the NDP may see more election success with a populist approach. Anyone making decisions based on how loud the crowd is yelling is doomed to long term failure.

    Back in the 1970s, Lewis’s grandfather, David Lewis, then federal NDP leader, captured the popular imagination with a rip-roaring populist campaign against government giveaways to “corporate welfare bums.”

    Avi takes after his grandfather, as well as his father, Stephen Lewis, one-time provincial NDP leader who was long the country’s most stirring orator.

    I don’t think this is a good thing and I don’t want to see anymore Mulroney’s, Trudeau’s, Kennedy’s, etc.
