Kill Bill

Kim — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:34:06 +0000

As the sun sets on the BC Liberal Party and the decade long theft of our assets, the fire sale intensifies. As Harper sells off Kits Coast Guard Station, Christy Clark seems intent on privatising our commons, our forests. Lungs of the planet, pride of the west coast, our cultural identity. Bill 8 is . . . → Read More: Kill Bill

Christy Clark Will Answer Questions When She’s Damn Good and Ready, Thank You!

What? You expect me to be Premier EVERYDAY?

Thanks to the Vancouver Sun for linking this telling video where newly minted Director of Communications Sara MacIntyre tells reporters essentially that having answered questions yesterday, questions today were off limits. This brings back memories of an election not so long ago when media were relegated . . . → Read More: Christy Clark Will Answer Questions When She’s Damn Good and Ready, Thank You!

BC Liberals Need To Stretch the Truth, They Already Know We Don’t Believe Them

Logan — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:17:10 +0000

There is a lot of rhetoric going around in the current BCTF/BC Liberal Government battle over teachers contracts.

To set a context; BC teachers have been without a contract since last January and have, since September, been working using limited job action (filling out report cards and supervising recess) but have been teaching. Now, . . . → Read More: BC Liberals Need To Stretch the Truth, They Already Know We Don’t Believe Them

Christy, what are you thinking? BC Liberals hire Harper aide and Enbridge lobbyist Ken Boessenkool as chief of staff.

If you ever wanted to know which side of the political spectrum the BC ‘Liberals’ fall, it’s pretty obvious by now it’s neither centre nor left. When a supposed centre-left political party hires a lobbyist whose previous tenure involved working as senior policy advisor and strategist to Stephen Harper and lobbying for Enbridge and Suncor, you . . . → Read More: Christy, what are you thinking?

I see the BC Liberals have learned from Harper’s Ignatieff attack ads

Jymn — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:11:15 +0000

Watching the Canucks. Ad comes on real slick-like. I mean Conservative slick. It’s a BC Liberals ad attacking NDP’s Adrian Dix. I swear the ad could’ve been made by the Cons. It looks and sounds exactly like any of the many Ignatieff attack ads. Oh, here it comes again. And again.

Mmm. Looks . . . → Read More: I see the BC Liberals have learned from Harper’s Ignatieff attack ads

Welcome to Harperland

How we embraced hate. I was watching the CBC News this morning, Suhana Meharchand was the host. Talking about Attawapiskat, she interviewed NDP/MP Charlie Angus. Hostilely, she asked him, “What would you do if you were Minister? Throw money at the problem?” His reply showed unflappable professionalism, indicating that he would first alleviate the . . . → Read More: Welcome to Harperland

This Cannot Be The End Of BC Rail

The promise was made, “BC Rail is here to stay.” Then they sold it. Then the legislature was raided by the RCMP. Three people were charged with varying things such as fraud, accepting gifts, and offers of employment. Seven years later, the trial was set to resume. Finally, hopefully, we would discover what happened, . . . → Read More: This Cannot Be The End Of BC Rail
