Right and Wrong

Kim — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 03:01:31 +0000

Laila Yuile gave us a perspective on a Jonathon Fowlie editorial about Christie Clark. In the interview with Fowlie, conducted during a hockey mom photo op. type interview apparently…I’ll let Laila speak for herself…

“I absolutely had to pick my chin off of my desk this morning when I read Jonathon Fowlie’s feature . . . → Read More: Right and Wrong

Another Government Watchdog gets the boot

Kim — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 04:31:44 +0000

I heard it from Laila Yuile, who got it from some newspaper with a paywall…

”John Doyle, the tough Auditor-general who has taken the B.C. Liberal government to task on everything from access to documents related to the Basi-Virk political corruption case to B.C. Hydro’s highly controversial use of deferral accounts, appears to have . . . → Read More: Another Government Watchdog gets the boot

The Final Countdown to Treason

Kim — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:02:44 +0000

Tomorrow is the last day to stop the ratification of Harper’s secret treaty with China. Elizabeth May (bless her parliamentarian soul) has been active and vocal against this secret, closed door deal. Signed by Harper in Russia, of all places. Quietly tabled last month with no disclosure, no debate, none of that government advertising . . . → Read More: The Final Countdown to Treason

my shortlist for the Order of BC Award

Kim — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 23:40:04 +0000

Here’s some folks just off the top of my head who merit the Order of BC Award. Ironically, the award was invented on Bill VanderZalm’s watch, given that Gordon Campbell and several of his political operatives have been approved for this award. I think it’s a NeoLiberal thumb of the nose middle finger salute . . . → Read More: my shortlist for the Order of BC Award

An Unprecedented Friday Afternoon Document Dump, cont…

Kim — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 22:27:27 +0000

A message from BC. Last Friday in BC, Christy Clark announced that there will be no fall election. This amounts to a bloodless Coup of our fair province. Clark has no mandate. She is unelected. She sailed into power by the grace and deep pockets of the same group of suspects that may have . . . → Read More: An Unprecedented Friday Afternoon Document Dump, cont…

Science versus Photo Ops

Kim — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:34:27 +0000

I was watching the cbc news this morning. I find it very sad to witness the decline of that once proud public broadcaster. The cbc used to provide some fine investigative journalism. It’s one story in particular that caught my eye today however, that speaks to the disconnect between government and the media and . . . → Read More: Science versus Photo Ops

My letter to Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer

Kim — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 21:26:50 +0000

I emailed this letter to Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer this morning. I would encourage other BC Voters to do the same! The BC Government (under Gordon Campbell’s direction, but allowed to stand by Christy Clark) has unilaterally appointed an Acting Chief Electoral Officer, Mr. Craig James.

Since his appointment, Mr. James has repeatedly . . . → Read More: My letter to Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer

Politics of Food

Kim — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 00:06:27 +0000

We are being led down a path of dark, destructive ideology to a place where there is a price on everything and that price is unobtainable. Think about this. The global market trades in commodities. Commodities are things that humanity needs to survive, such as wheat, rice and corn. Economists from every country . . . → Read More: Politics of Food

The role of Lieutenant Governor

Kim — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 00:03:36 +0000

Role Lieutenant Governor

The Lieutenant Governor is the representative of Her Majesty The Queen of Canada in the Province of British Columbia and, as such, takes precedence over everyone in the province except the Sovereign. The Lieutenant Governor personifies the Crown, which is both the apex and the unifying link in the constitutional . . . → Read More: The role of Lieutenant Governor

Shadow Tolls, P3′s and BC Rail. Plus, shiny sports/casino venues!

Kim — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 21:04:58 +0000

Over to Laila Yuile, who continues to expose the corruption that is the BC Liberal Government, under the ultimate dictator Gordon Muir Campbell.

Also, how’s that fancy $6 hundred million retractable roof coming along? Oh. Shit.

People, we gotta do something. Now. Recall Campbell first.

Laila goes viral!

Kim — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 17:29:43 +0000

Laila Yuile posted a breaking story yesterday, exposing hidden “shadow taxes” on the infamous “Sea-to-sky highway”. Must read. Today she reports that her site metre was smokin’! Both stories here.

Tonight, our Premier has spent our tax dollars on a 1/2 hour spot on his personal PR Firm GlobalTV, corus radio and local CBC . . . → Read More: Laila goes viral!
