Harry Angle of Kelowna led the British Columbia Dragoons during the liberation of the Netherlands. After the final battle of the Delfzijl Pocket, the Dragoons moved into Veendam, where they helped restore municipal government and forged a bond with that Dutch community that continues today.
One Canadian story of bravery, dedication and sacrifice, among a million others like it. They did their part. We can do ours and honour them.
Wear a poppy.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic plane crash during today's Remembrance Day commemorations in Saint-Georges, Beauce.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family and loved ones of the pilot who lost his life. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, and I thank the first responders who were on the scene.

The television at my gym keeps showing @CDIC_CA ads during a basketball game. High production quality. That aside, whose bright idea is it to advertise for a government backed program that Canadians don’t have any market choice on? It’s bad enough the Carney Government runs slogans on tax payer funded commercials.
When will the Carney Government show some sense and direct federal decision makers to stop wasting taxpayer funds on no value ads?

Bill C-41 would make the mental-illness exclusion for MAID permanent and allow advance requests. These are life-and-death questions that deserve full committee study, not a rush.
Do you support Bill C-41? What concerns, if any, do you have?

On this episode of Finding Solutions, I sat down with Tammy Arishenkoff.
Tammy was a childhood friend of Janet Johnson and has spent years helping keep the memory of the Johnson and Bentley families alive.
We talk about the family behind the name many of us know from the Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre in West #Kelowna, and about Tammy’s experience supporting the families through the parole process.
What does she want parliamentarians to understand about the impact on victims and their families? I hope you’ll take the time to listen to our conversation:

Why even have a conflict of interest act at all when we can just ignore disclsoure and the many reasons for it.
"I think there's a danger in saying that company X provided employee Y. Then there will be a whole artificial, fabricated gotcha moment … I think we've got to be careful not to cast aspersions on either the companies or the individuals."

Yes, it is unacceptable. As it is when BC lumber mills have closed and the same can be said when pulp and paper mills close and any other manufacturing lost.
But PM Carney was the guy who claimed he was the "master negotiator"...
"The situation in the Brampton plant is unacceptable," Carney said in Montreal on Tuesday."

It amazes me for the all of the years Elizabeth May has been in Ottawa she not yet fully figured out Liberals will do & say anything for votes.
Including promising things they have absolutely no intention of ever doing.
It is literally on page 1 of the Liberal playbook.
“I voted for the budget last year because the Prime Minister stood and committed to achieving the Paris Agreement targets. I was a fool to believe the Liberals. I have repented for being a fool. I see clear-eyed now. They are building pipelines.”

From two leading economic thinkers, a devastating critique of Ottawa's budget: "We still give the federal budget a ‘D’...Ottawa not mentioning its big budget windfall for several months is as scandalous as the decision to spend it all." financialpost.com/opinion/fp…
The Competition Bureau warns the proposed Air Canada–United deal would raise fares on 8 Canada-U.S. routes, including Vancouver-San Francisco.

From Penticton, B.C., Captain Jonathan Snyder was a Canadian soldier whose courage, leadership, and compassion will always be remembered.
Now, thanks to @HistoricaCanada, his story of bravery and sacrifice will be shared with the whole country in a new Heritage Minute.
While serving in Afghanistan, Capt. Snyder’s actions under fire helped save dozens of Canadian and Afghan lives. He was awarded the Canadian Star of Military Valour for his extraordinary bravery.
He was one of the 158 Canadians who lost their lives serving in Afghanistan. We honour his sacrifice and remember all those who served.
Lest we forget.

Thinking of Stellantis workers tonight as they worry about how they will keep a roof over head and food in the fridge, with the company selling its Brampton Assembly.
Today, Canada lost yet another auto plant as the Carney Liberals’ strategy of giving out billions of tax dollars to corporations with no strings attached sends our money and jobs south.
Despite the big talk, Mark Carney has no results except higher costs, lost jobs, and collapsing economy.
We cannot tax, borrow, and squander our way out of this mess. We need to cut taxes, reduce red tape, and fight for tariff-free trade to save Canadians’ jobs.
Carney: “I’m committed to a process that moves Canada beyond the Indian Act.”
Trudeau in 2017: “We are serious about taking the right steps to move beyond the Indian Act.”
Where have we heard this before? First Nations deserve results, not repeats.

Congratulations to Carey Price @CP0031 on his well-deserved induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame this weekend.
From Anahim Lake to the very pinnacle of the sport, Carey has represented himself and community with humility, determination and a quest for excellence.
He’s inspired countless young athletes by showing that no matter where you come from, extraordinary things are possible.
This recognition belongs not only to Carey, but also to the family who supported him every step of the way.
A special thank you to his parents, Lynda and Jerry Price, whose love, guidance, and sacrifices helped shape one of hockey's all-time greats.
As someone who is proud to represent Anahim Lake and the surrounding communities, I know this honour will be celebrated across the Cariboo and throughout British Columbia.
Congratulations, Carey. Your community is proud of you, your province is proud of you, and your place in hockey history is forever secure.
