Speaking of #ChristyClarkDrivingSchool (and recycling)

Clearly, she learned her lessons well. Just like the Zalm, she's going to turn BC over to the tender mercies of the No Damn Prosperity Party. Heaven help us.

Blub Blub Blub ...

They Can Love You, They Can Hate You

but when they start laffing, pack your bags. Because. You're. Finished.

The Trouble With Harry

seems to be that he's just plain ethically challenged.

UPDATE!!! --- Harry's not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree either it seems. It will be "interesting" to see what sort of a sinecure is found for Bloy, who's announced he's not going to give Burnaby-Lougheed voters a chance to fire his sorry backside out the door in '013 (or whenever), how his falling on his sword to protect the Boss will weigh against his appalling stupidity in leaking the email ... fascinating.

Hats off to Alex G Tsakumis for outstanding investigative journalism and guts, guts, guts.

Celebrate Diversity! Christy's Punjabi Pandering Goes Sideways

Outgoing Premier Hockey Mom is assuring anyone who'll listen she's "shocked" that Jaspal Singh Atwal, a Sikh "warrior" (not unlike those brave warriors who blew up Air India Flight 182, one supposes) with attempted murder on his rap sheet, was an honored, invited guest at the Budget Speech last week.

Christy of course is a Paul Martin Fed Fiberal, whose ties to such charming groups as the Tamil Tigers have been well documented. In short, they'll do a deal with any devil for a vote or two.

Nice try, Christy, but that brown stuff on your shoe really doesn't smell like chocolate ice cream from here.

Alex G. Tsakumis has the 411 on this.

Oh Good, More Liberal Fascism

Never doubt the BC Liberals devotion to the Almighty God-State.
Could the world be on the brink of economic catastrophe? No matter, Mike de Jong, BC's Minister of Health and Growing the Government, has announced that BC will have a Widow Saver-General to join our Child Saver-General in yelling for more and more statism ensuring extra special TLC for their respective sacralized groups.
Rest assured no taxpayer expense will be spared in creating Heaven On Earth for us all, right from the day we're not aborted to the day we're euthanized.
Watch for the Women's Advocate, the Aboriginals' Advocate, the Persons with Disabilities Advocate, the Environment Advocate, the Anti-Islamophobia Advocate, the Animal Rights Advocate ...

F-a-a-nt-a-a-stic!!!

If you missed Christy Clark's epic fail on Global BC's News Hour on Wednesday, it starts at the 27 minute mark here: http://www.globaltvbc.com/video/index.html?releasePID=kTEy0ztIEtrXGeDpaWPCPW1MUkDnKcYo

And in case you've missed it, the documents Global's Marisa Thomas refers to in the clip, which contradict Christy's version of her role in the sale of BC Rail, are laid out at the blog of the courageous Alex G . Tsakumis, who is doing the vital but dangerous (gets you threatened, makes you unpopular) work the sunset media don't have the sack for.

Methinks She Doth Protesteth Too Much

Former Gordie Campbell Cabinet Minister, liberal party du canerduh apparatchik, and erstwhile CKNW show host Christy Clark seems more and more desperate to avoid a full public inquiry into the sale of BC Rail, the stench from which rivals the raw sewage Victoria dumps into the saltchuck. BC Rail was of course, sold off (like so much of BC) by Gordie and his crew, during Christy's time aboard.
In the unlikely event you're beginning to suspect Christy's leveling with us on all this, then you clearly haven't been following the Basi Files series on the (highly recommended) blog of the courageous Alex G. Tsakumis. Here's the latest installment - Chapter X: A Done Deal. The earlier posts are in his Archives.
Read it all and then start demanding a full public inquiry; hell, let's get out and march in the streets.

Gordie and the Weather Tax

Apologies to Plautus and Terence

While personally, I’ve never been entirely convinced that every single cloud has a silver lining, there’s no denying most seem to and indeed, sometimes it’s some of the darkest.

Take the HST (- please! Yeah, I’m sorry, I know -I am taking it, thanks, Dave. Right up the wazoo. Don’t make it worse with the Henny Youngman, please already.)

Its true that Gordie Campbell and his branch of the Librano$ have gone right off the top board poll-wise of late. If this keeps up, BC Libs will find themselves jostling for space in the trash can of history with the likes of the Progressive Conservatives and the BC Socreds (oh, the rich, dripping irony of the Zalm being the hero of the anti-HST Resistance).

And its no doubt true they’ve more than earned their current predicament, the HST being but one of a by now all-too-familiar litany of lies. I doubt Gordie would give me the time of day but if he did, I wouldn’t believe him anyway.

Strange to contemplate then that it could all be worse for the Campbell Crew.

How, you ask?

Consider: lost in the uproar of the Hated Sales Tax’s July oneth launch was the latest ratcheting up of what could be called the Gaians’ Carbon Myth Tax, based as it is on their belief that C02 is a sort of toxin in the atmosphere, rather than something that makes green things grow. You know, an irrational belief instead of something based on actual science.

So much for keeping religion out of government, but I suppose its all a matter of whose religion is involved.

And, of course, unless you have been residing in a convent or depending solely on the sunset media for information, I don’t have to remind you of what the term “Climategate” refers to (myself, I prefer Climatequiddick) but let me remind you of this:

The government of BC continues to lighten your wallet on the basis of a complete fraud. And every year they’re going to grab more.

And how big a noise has there been? –cue: crickets …

Fortunately, in this day and age of the intrawebs and all that, we plebs can turn some heat on Gordie and Friends without waiting for the sunset media (hold not thy breath, ‘cause those hard nosed pros would have to fess up to having been sucked right in like suckers and that would suck, right?).

Think of it as forming up a virtual baying mob complete with torches, pitchforks, all that.

Here’s where email we’re supposed to believe Campbell reads goes:

premier@gov.bc.ca

Demand this BS tax be eliminated forthwith on pain of electoral consequences - i.e No vote for you!

If an email poo storm hits that address it won’t matter who’s there to receive, the message will be passed upwards.

And be sure to raise hell with the rest of the Lieberal caucus. If you live in one of the 24 constituencies where recall campaigns will be getting underway, remind “your” MLA of the bullseye on their back.

Gordie’s crew must be frantic to save their phony baloney jobs. They have to be convinced their only hope is to dump Campbell, both these taxes and hope the voters will forgive.
Its time to really tighten the screws on 'em.

Verily, They Getteth It Not

Its simply not good enuff to have scofflaws

Another Gordie Campbell Disaster in the Making

Is this guy loaded or something?

"However, land claims and demands for self-government did not originate within the aboriginal population and are not being formulated and implemented by aboriginal peoples themselves. Rather, they are the result of a long historical process in which an ever-expanding, parasitical Aboriginal Industry - first clergy, then consultants, lawyers, and anthropologists - have used the plight of aboriginal peoples to justify a self-serving agenda. The legal and "culturally sensitive" bureaucratic solutions to aboriginal problems that the Industry proposes would continue to keep natives isolated and dependent, thus perpetuating existing social pathologies and, not incidentally, justifying demands for more funding and programs for the Aboriginal Industry.

Widdowson, Frances and Howard, Albert - Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry -
The Deception Behind Indigenous Cultural Preservation pg 9; McGill-Queen's University Press

And now Gordie Campbell has vaguely sketched something out on the back of a coaster, apparently, that will not only pour even more taxpayers' money down the bottomless sinkhole of the AI, it will involve said "ever-expanding, parasitical" cluster of entities in private business enterprises and the development of BC's lands and resources in ways one shudders to contemplate.

Clearly the guy has fallen under the spell woven as the AI's purported premise: that a certain group of people should be condemned to pursue some sort of neolithic way of life, mainly hunting/ gathering, under tribal rule rather than laws etc, all that nasty, brutish and short stuff (romanticized of course) based on their ethnicity, in the midst of 21st century British Columbia.
Cruel and insane are two words that come to mind.

Gordie bit on Human Induced Global Climate Change- hook, line, sinker, rod, right up to the reel he bit. Result? The economic kedge anchor known as the Carbon Tax.

The Law of Unintended Consequences was derived from Gordie Campbell's style of governance, flitting from fashionable fable to fashionable fable, devastation in his wake. The mind reels at where this new big thing of his will lead us all to, but of course, as we should always bear in mind:
the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Liar Liar ...

A BC Liberal Government will push Ottawa for provincial control over BC offshore fisheries, to improve fisheries management and protect jobs.*

It sure sounded good. The trouble is that, rather true to form, Gordie Campbell's government has done the exact opposite of what they campaigned on, turning more control of our dwindling fish stocks over to Ottawa.
Worse yet, they've agreed to let them muck about with our freshwater fish, something BC has never countenanced before.
All this quietly, sneakily one might even say; but then, he was breaking yet another promise so why have the trumpets sounded? Certainly, the online release disappeared quickly enuff. Requests for answers from Burnaby MLAs have gone ignored.

Whether its fish or railways, it seeems Gordie can't divest BC of it fast enuff.

You Know, I've Always Been a Dreamer

The Most Open, Accountable Government?

That was the promise. Of course, Gordie Campbell also promised not to sell BC Rail, so that's what his promises are worth. Here's his open, accountable henchman Wally Awful earning his nickname - "Stonewally".



Thanks to publiceyetelevision and kudos for their continuing good work. And by the way, I wonder if any of Gordie's crew have aides who are middle aged, not so great looking guys. Just wonderin'.
