Lumber for the far East

Corey Hogan MP for Calgary Confederation

Oral Questions 5th December 2025

From Hansard,

In response to a question about the Forestry sector’s chronic Liberal induced problems:

Corey Hogan (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Lib.):  

    Mr. Speaker, obviously, the unjustified trade war that the United States has brought on softwood lumber is unacceptable. We are working hard to resolve it. Today, the United States Chamber of Commerce called on the Trump administration to drop tariffs on lumber. We are seeing that the pressures are beginning to build.

    We will continue to work at all levels to resolve this, and we will continue to provide supports. We welcome suggestions from members opposite on what supports to bring.

Well, since you asked for it, here is a suggestion for you which should really appeal to the banker.

There has been devastation in South East Asia from floods and slides resulting in homes by the thousands being demolished.

We have vast amounts of lumber which the USA ​apparently does not want, so we could send it all to those ​affected countries and allow their people to rebuild with good strong Canadian lumber.

Of course we cannot just donate that lumber because there is no money for it, but if we gave a huge contract to Brookfield to ship that lumber then we would be helping the banker to fill his pocket book, and it could come from the budget for the homes that will not be built in Canada for years yet because the administration organisations do not even have office space yet.

There is also the side effect that maybe we would be looked at with favour as a potential trade partner, instead of an arrogant bunch of political money grabbers.

That and of course saw mill workers, lumberjacks and truckers would still have a job.

If you can catch the banker in between his flights overseas for a rugby match or a photo op please submit it to him.

ps: all the supports your government provides are at the further expense of taxpayers’ money and there is a limit to that.

Could this be the time to really establish our worth to the USA

Could this be the time?

So now Trump is telling us how to spend our very limited money by selling us patriot missiles which we will have to send to that Nazi creep in Ukraine. Of course, the Canadian politicians are so enamored by that Nazi they will fall all over themselves to do just that, not bothering to ask themselves what right Trump has to tell us what to buy and where to send it.

Where are our elected officials we sent to Ottawa to work for us, not Trump and Zelensky?

Increasingly I am thinking that this Carney fellow is in the position for the money he can and will make either ethically or not.

Right now, the Trump thing is in a rather awkward position which a strong Canadian leader could use. How many times have we been told we have nothing the Americans need,

OK

Stop the export of hydro, aluminium, potash, bitumen, lumber, copper, auto parts and water in any form. Stop any of those from crossing the border.

Yes, it will affect our bottom line momentarily but it is being affected anyway.

How long before a strong reaction from the people of America?

When MAGA and Republican governors feel the effect of what we can shut off, how long will they let Trump be soo silly? We wish no harm on the American people but……we would be being much more humane than the USA is in Gaza.

One Canadian Economy?

3rd June 2025.

Open Letter to Mark Carney,

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Mr. Carney,

I know you have recently returned from Europe and may well be rusty in the way this country was set up but I feel I would be remiss if I did not remind you that the PM cannot change the Constitution of Canada to suit his needs as a banker or self proclaimer saviour of the country sent by the WEF. 

Your proclamation that there will be one economy in Canada completely goes against the division of responsibilities between Federal and Provincial rights and duties concerning the taxation of the Canadian people, including the rights of taxation by local town councils.  One economy would not allow for these. I am amazed that your Attorney General has not bought this to your attention, but then it is after all a Liberal government and the Rule of Law, respect, truth and openness do not apply to you, it would appear, any more than the Criminal Code applied to your predecessor.

Setting up a “free trade” system among provinces is not creating one economy and I am afraid that just like Trudeau you are imagining yourself as a Canadian god and by your language you are trying to create false realities.

You managed to successfully convince many frightened old Canadians to support you in the recent election, but I am also a senior and I do not fear Trump, who actually amuses me, and the more you feed his reality show host persona the more you urge him on;  but I do fear that your actions are smoke and mirrors and are going to do the opposite of what you have promised.

You do not have my trust and you absolutely do not have my consent to meddle with the Canadian Constitution.

April Election in Canada 2025

March 2025.

The options we have in front of us are to say the least meager.

The Bank of Canada act in the 1930s created a people owned bank to finance our needs.  The idea was that the BOC would finance the federal, provincial and municipal governments needs at a very low rate using our natural resources as collateral. Upon repayment the working costs for the BOC were deducted and the remainer sent to the federal finance minister for use on Canadians needs.  This carried us through the ww2 with a massive merchant fleet transporting to Europe, and after we emerged with very little debt we build hospitals, schools road’s etc., and financed the Canada Pension Plan and Health care and in the 70s our national debt (owed to ourselves) was a mere $70 million.  Then, in the mid-70s Gerald Bouey without the peoples’ permission signed the BOC onto Basil 1, 11 and 111 with the bank of international settlements thereby opening Canada up to loans from international banks and investors and turning the BOC into an inflation watchdog and interest setter.   Now our national debt is tripping over $3 trillion and servicing that debt is now our largest national expenditure by far.   M Carney was a mover and shaker in the transformation of the BOC and did the same with the Bank of England, and now we are being asked to allow him to turn Canada over to Claus Schwab and his WEF one world order with Claus as king?

At this point I should mention that The State of North Dakota copied what we had done and created the Bank of Nort Dakota, owned by the people of North Dakota and to this day they have a very small debt for operating expenses owed to themselves.  Unlike us however they are not using international loaners and they have no need to. 

Why is this important? because we in Canada need to be taxed almost into the poverty line to pay for this debt while the people of North Dakota do not have such a problem.   We cannot reduce taxes without increasing our indebtedness.

I find myself realising that all leaders and parties support the Nazis in Ukraine (how odd), the Zionists in their pursuit of genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and the hoax called Climate Change due to CO2.  For millions of years the climate on this planet has changed from hot to cold and back again without any help from arrogant humans, especially those who want to kill all plant life with zero CO2.

My local MP believes all three of these horrors, but she has worked for her constituents and for Canadians introducing and passing private members bills of some importance.  So, she will get my vote on that basis alone.
