The Debate Over BC’s Tariff Response Bill: What You Need to Know

Below is a link to a discussion of arbitrary measures by BC governments in the not too distant past. The initial response by the robot was very superficial so read on down.

Conclusion: The Legacy of Arbitrary Measures
The COVID-19 pandemic saw unprecedented restrictions on basic freedoms in British Columbia. While public health was the stated motivation, the implementation of these measures raises serious questions about proportionality, necessity, and respect for constitutional rights.

The regional travel ban stands out as particularly problematic—dividing a province into zones with police checkpoints to restrict citizen movement has no precedent in modern Canadian history during peacetime. The lack of clear definitions, adequate consultation with affected communities, and proper constitutional scrutiny suggests these measures were indeed arbitrary in nature.

As the courts continue to examine the legality of pandemic restrictions, it remains essential to critically evaluate these measures to ensure that future emergencies do not result in similar infringements on fundamental rights without proper justification and safeguards.

Poilievre Facing 58 Opponents So Far in Alberta Byelection Targeted by Long Ballot Protest

I am watching and listening to the Town Hall in Red Deer on X and covering a lot of good questions and panelists. Over 10,000 watching.
I wish the media would honestly cover it but it will be slammed on talk shows and newspapers.

Anyone can post here

I noticed that our membership is growing so people must be mentioning this group around. Welcome.

We have a few regular posters, but anyone can post, so if you come across something especially worth passing on, please do.

For those who may be new or who have been here for a while and never posted our group enjoys articles and other posts that provide a unique perspective and challenge the common narratives, fill in blanks, or simply entertain.

Readers 'like' some articles more than others, but 'liking' to me is more a sign that we found the article useful than that we agree with it. I often 'like' articles that i thought to be are quirky, off-base, or just plain wrong, but worth reading.
