Christy Clark, Liar, Vindictive and a Shrew!

Well the rumour mill has been busy grinding up potential new leaders for the BC Liberal party, the usual NPA hacks and others were lauding Carole Taylor to pick up the reins, when Carole Taylor flatly refused and at the same time  took on a three year gig at UBC as chancellor or something like that ended that pipe dream!

Then John Furlong was pursued to lead the BC Liberals and he immediately let it be known he would rather have all his teeth pulled then take over the titanic, then it was going to be Dianne Watts but we here at The Straight Goods debunked that rumour first.......And of course we know that Moira Stilwell threw her hat in the ring as a joke and a channel changer for the defunct BC Liberal party......And the rat pack, George bobblehead abbot, Rich Coleman, Mike De Jong, and Kevin Boo Hoo Falcon, none of those Campbell groupies stand a chance to win an election, but be rest assured it will be one of the RAT PACK, they are as tainted by Campbell as anyone, they will receive no support from an angry electorate......So now the rumour mill is saying Christy Clark(ain`t gonna happen folks, it`s gonna be Rich the Shank Coleman)....

Before I get started on Christy cluck cluck Clark,......Patrick Kinsella was the the person who placed Christy Clark at CKNW, there were two reasons why the higher ups in the BC Liberal party gave the Clucker a cushy gig at NW.

#1) Christy could day in day out promote the BC Liberal party.

2)Christy needed to be silenced over her role and knowledge of the BC Rail scandal, her Husband Mark Marrisen is up to his ankles in BC Rail, and yes folks, Christy Clark had a high flying lawyer paid for by the BC Government to shield her from testifying at the "Mock BC Rail Trial"....If Christy was innocent she would not have needed a lawyer along with hours and hours of coaching from the defence team. The NW gig was buying her silence!

3) To Give Clucker a voice and platform for future political ambitions.

Of course everything went to plan for the Campbell Liberals, BC Rail trial sham ended before any witnesses with functioning brain cells and memories had to testify, and indeed cknw gave the Clucking Christy a voice, and boy oh boy, not only does she have a voice but a big mouth, that my friends is the Achilles heel for Christy Clark.

The problem Christy has is her mouth, everything is on the record.

Remember these statements you made last week Christy Clark, you called everyone who signed the HST petition "TALIBAN"......."Bill Vander Zalm the leader of the Taliban".......Gee, that one will make a great sound bite and lawn sign! 

She hates school teachers, she hates school boards, she cackled away insulting and inciting hatred and anger towards public education, she is frothing at the mouth wanting to take away Fare passes for workers at BC Ferries so they can ride for free, she thinks that`s outrageous, what was outrageous was the last contract for ferry workers...A 5% increase over 7 years, but that my friends is but the tip of the iceberg for problems for Ms Clark....

For I have dozens and dozens of her on air gaffes on file.......Let me remind you of a few of them from this year alone...Christy Clark threw venom and a snide attitude towards the Mayor of Tofino(A tiny town on the wild west coast of Vancouver island) because the mayor and council of Tofino signed an order in council to keep big box stores and big chain outfits out of their town, Tofino is a quaint little town and their goal is to remain unique, in other words, they have clothes stores and coffee shops there already, they don`t need a Starbucks or a Zellers to put the local owners out of business.....Well, Christy Cluck was freaking out and literally calling Tofino out as acting illegal to the law....Obviously Christy has never been there or she would have kept her fat mouth shut! Christy believes like Campbell that towns have no rights, Christy did vote to strip power from all communities when she was in office.

Of course we know she hates Gregor Robertson and bike lanes,  she has literally accused him in not so many words of being a pot head and pot grower at his island home, maybe he does, I hope she can back it up.

I am no fan of Gregor but she was way over the top for a radio program.

There`s more, much more, Christy Clark thinks all roadside memorials should be removed, these memorials are where people`s loved ones have died, her excuse was that they`re ugly and a distraction to cars, well....Lets see Christy, flashing store lights, billboards, advertising, pedestians, I would say that those items are far more distracting than a little wreath of flowers and pictures, believe me folks, Christy is a vindictive money grubbing bitch, the gall of her to promote the wear pink against bullying when she ran roughshod over the mayor of Tofino, grieving relatives, slags teachers and school boards,.....Clark doesn`t believe in public education, she believes in private education and burning down, tearing down any school that isn`t at 100% capacity, she`s very short sighted!

Christy Clark is also against the new drinking driving penalties, she believes that drivers at .05  to .08 don`t cause accidents, glug glug glug.

And then there is BC Ferries, last year Christy Clark lied her face off on air about BC Ferries, she said that under David Hahn that BC Ferries was making $500 million dollars in profit, she also stated that the NDP neglected repairs to the existing fleet because they had no money left after the fast cat episode, utter lies, I of course called in to correct her on air and she was rude, disparaging and denied my claims that she was 100% wrong.

Well, I had just finished writing a series on BC Ferries, how they were drowning in debt, how they were barely making enough money to pay the interest on their $1.6 billion dollar debt let alone any of the priciple,......So on air Christy Clark defended the lies, and then.

And then I filed complaints to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council(CBSC) ...I got documents from Debra Marshall of BC Ferries, these documents stated that the $500 million dollars BCFerries paid the Province was from a loan BC Ferries took out with German banks, the Campbell Government provided BC Ferries a debenture which they used to leverage a loan of $500 million dollars, The money from the loan and debenture Campbell put into general revenue and used to claim a balanced budget, the money wasn`t profit, Christy was spewing lies!

Well folks, we know what happened next, Christy cluck cluck had to retract on air, in other words she admitted she lied,....Gotcha again Christy.....And the part about Christy Clark being a vindictive bitch....She knew it was me that nailed her on BC Ferries, meanwhile I was still a regular all star caller on the cutting ledge show, Vaughn Palmer, Baldrey, Good, they knew I always had the Straight Goods and inside juice, but Christy told Nick W(nick on the controls) who answers the phone and brings Christy her coffee(I think he rubs her feet too) not to let me on the air on her program.

And that`s ok folks, it`s her right I guess, ....So now let`s fast forward to 2 weeks before the 2010 Olympic games...CKNW were giving away tickets to Molson Hockey House for opening night of the Olympics...Well, it was a Tuesday and Nick said, well take caller number 8 for two tickets to the Molson Hockey House, I waited 6 seconds, called in and lo n behold Nick answered the phone and said congratulations your caller number 8.

When I said great, I won, at that time Nick recognized my voice, Christy was in the background screaming at Nick to hang up on me, which he did, but before he hung up he called me names and said don`t ever, ever call here again, Christy Clark was all over Nick like white on rice!......I filed complaints to Tom Plasteras(program manager for cknw)....Tom Plasteras emailed me back the next day after he received my complaint and told me I would get my prize, ....Well there was no way Christy Clark would let that stand, she literally pulled her hair out with anger, Tom Plasteras caved in to the Diva Christy Clark, ...I never got tickets to Molson Hockey house, Tom Plasteras(the station) sent me tickets to see Don Rickles at the River Rock casino two months after the Olympics.....Christy got a partial victory....Like I said, Christy cluck cluck Clark is a vindictive bitch used to getting her way, she`s as big a bully as Campbell, why should I have been treated that way when I was absolutely right on BC Ferries and Christy was 100% wrong?

So as for Christy Clark running for premier, she has said hundreds of times, "I am in favour of the HST"....So if she was to run it would have to be on a pro-hst stance, so between her temper, her greed, her love of the HST, her dozens of lies on air have all but cooked her election victory chances, people might as well vote for Gordon Campbell because Christy Clark and Gordon Campbell are two peas in a pod, identical mind set, destroy public education, never raise the minimum wage, survival of the fittest....Well Ms Clark...I feel very fit this morning and I got mountains of dirt and words that you spoke to use against you.

Enjoy these links from my early archives 

One about the retraction the other about Christy Clark`s anger and not wanting to give me my prize

 This is the first installment on Christy Clark, she is a Campbell clone, vindictive, loves the HST, hates teachers, hates the poor, the needy, she`s a bully.........And Christy, this is just the tip of the iceberg...Christy Clark is...

Grant, you should contact Mark Hume at the Globe and Mail like Laila did and give him all of this information so the public will know the straight goods about Cluck Cluck.

Do you think that Carole will still be able to win against Cluck Cluck?

If Cluck-Cluck Clark is ever elected premier of BC, I would take it as a sign of "The End of Days".

Anonymous said...

Well, I guess if everyone is afraid to run, Campbell gets to be Premier again. We know what happens to anyone opposing Campbell, they lose their jobs. He may have resigned, but, he is too full of hate, spite, malice, and far too vindictive to just quit. He had no such intention to leave. There should have been someone appointed, to act as an interim Premier, until their leadership convention. He is still doing his dirty work, against the citizens of this province. Campbell did say, he would continue with his work, and would be around for some months. So, the BC people have to put up with his smarmy face, and his dirty work until May. Campbell is in the lowest form, of the human species. His ministers are just as bad as he is.

Despite this exercise in mudraking vanity, Christy Clark is exactly who we need to lead our province, and I believe the majority of British Columbians will agree!

Grant G said...

Well well well Mr/Mrs Anon 9:17AM....

Mudraraking as you say.......I have done no such thing, everything I wrote is true, facts aren`t mudraking.

Anyone who wants to run for office gets scrutinized, their words, their actions, their past and....

Their foul-mouth words.

And Canwest/Vancouver Sun/The Province/Global have mudraked any and all NDPers present, future and past..

Fast ferries are a staple word in question period in the legislature...Even today, Bill Good had on Terry Lake(soon to be Recall Victim)..

Terry Lake attacked Vander Zalm over the property transfer tax...

You might want to take off your Liberal-Red-Coloured-Glasses.

And you too may see the "Light"

Gary E said...

Grant, if what you say is true (and I have no reason to disbelieve you) that CKNW and in particular Clark has you banned from her show then I believe the CRTC should be notified. These radio shows were designed to generate conversation over matters of the day. To not allow ANYONE to participate is a form of censureship and I would urge everyone of your readers to call the CRTC and request an investigation.

Grant, well said. Yes, the lieberals just can't get the "fast ferries" out of their minds can they?
Maybe they should start talking about the sell off of BC Rail, the contracts awarded to companies such as Aramark, Sodexo and what they're serving in our hospitals. Just maybe they should ask about the contracts awarded to their friends for the care or lack thereof of our seniors. Maybe they should ask about the legal fees of $6 million we the taxpayer paid for the guilty ones charged, so far, in the BC Rail case. Maybe they need to ask about the Run of River "mom and pop??" dams being built on the "publics" rivers. Maybe they need to ask about all the raw logs being exported out of our province? Ask about "shadow tolls" on S2S, Bennett bridge, Kicking Horse pass. Ask to open the books on all P3 projects to date and the ones contempleted. Ask about the worst child poverty in the country, lowest wage in the country. Ask what they're doing over at BC Hydro in setting it up for privatization? (Like our power bills aren't high enough?) Ask how well the air is now as compared to before the carbon tax. The list goes on and on.

Keep up the good work Grant!

Oh, and Christy for premier? She, in my opinion, and having listened and watched her through the years, is a detriment to all women wishing to be taken seriously. Gordie's clone.

terrence said...

Cluck, cluck's obsession with bullying and pink shirts, etc, is a prime example of projection.

A person projects onto others those things they do not like in themselves and that they do not want to admit to. They see things in themselves they really, and correctly, do not like; so the blame others for holding those views. They can, and do, get hysterical about what the views they do not want to admit to holding.

Grant G said...

Gary E...It is true...Why do you think cknw removed Bill Tieleman from the Monday morning quarterback show...Campbell ordered cknw to remove him, it` all political.

Just like Electoral Chief Craig James...

Gary...Bill Good had someone from Elections BC on his show today to talk about the hst referendum...

The fellow said and I quote..."It would take 6 months to prepare for a referendum" SNIP

That is a lie, before we had fixed election dates, a sitting Government could call a snap election, 4 weeks later we have an election, it happens still on the Federal scene...Harper could call an election anytime and we would be at the polls in a month...

The man lied...It doesn`t take 6 months to set up an election...

The reason he was asked to say that on air was to deter the push to move the referendum up!

As for complaining to the CRTC or CBSC...Their powers are weak and...

I keep sneaking on air through guile....Just call me the Wascally Wabbit.

Alex G. Tsakumoose, who recently said Christy wouldn't run because she just signed a multi-year deal with NW recently,is now claiming that she is going to announce she is running and that of course, he knew it first.

He doesnt know shit about shit. Makes half of it up as he goes along. Yet another contradiction like when he said there would be no plea bargain in Basi-Virk, and then there was.

Yea I know...He also claimed Dianne Watts was running.

You,you tell it straight out,no guessing with you and I love it.

AGT is the biggest fibber in the Province(next to Campbell)...In fact, on his last post he had a list of dissident BC Liberals...He called Gordon Hogg..."Wayne Hogg".....And he claims he knew him for 25 years...

Larry Barnett corrected AGT and AGT edited his post and put the correct first name in front of Hogg.

Nothing but an amateur!

jaydee said...

Lotsa time to talk about the fast ferries of yore (long, long, long ago) but no time to talk about the union-buster gordon campbell, (disgraced, corrupt, resigned, spit-ball contestant) B.C. liberal's major Ferry Fiasco, his c-class ferries that still spend 4-5 days a week, every week, in dry dock, with multiple very serious problems. Our good old wooden, union-made-in-B.C. boats still do most of the work.

If you want the truth don't go to CKNW or any of the corrupt main stream media. Get the truth where the truth is....on these political blogs.

The only union prime minister! gordon campbell recognizes is his own, the bilderberg corporate mafia union.E.D.

I agree that Christy is a bitch. I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan or anything, but after the incident at that awards show where whats his name interrupted her speech and made her cry, Christy the Bitch Clark started bad mouthing Swift. Swift is one of the few pop stars out there who is actually a good role model for young people, no wonder clark doesn't like her.

I guess I have to be a bit of a contrarian on this. I would love to see Christy Clark run for the BC Liberal Party leadership and win. No, I didn't fall on my head this morning or anything like that, but if you will indulge me, I will explain.

First and foremost, she would be off the air at CKNW, and with any luck, Simi Sara would be hired to take over her spot. My ears could use the relief. Simi does have her opinions on many issues, but at least she comes across as a calm and level headed person who actually puts her brain in gear before her mouth goes into action.

Secondly, she would probably have to re-open the STV or some other form of proportional representation style of elections. She has been adament for many years now that first past the post system of electing a government is both archaic and basically undemocratic. For her to do anything else would be hypocritical and most likely cost the party many votes, especially from those that are not NDP supporters, but looking for change in our democracy. As I see it, if we could ever get some form of proportional representation established, then getting rid of the political party, as we know it, should be the next logical step.

Finally, I think that her penchant to be in control would cause a good number of the sitting BC Liberal MLAs to bale on the party. She would be nothing more than the female version of Gordo, but missing the needed enforcers required to intimidate the underlings.

Gordo is eventually going, and someone will be chosen to replace him. Why not someone that can be used to establish a real democracy? One where the representative actually does the bidding of his or her constituency, rather than that of some ego driven leader who in most cases is just promoting the wishes of a cabal of hidden marionettes.

Grant G said...

Cam...I don`t often criticize you but...Howe street runs the BC Liberal party not Campbell, the same thing would happen with cluck cluck..As for proportional representation...

The earliest would be 2017...Or when the Government falls shortly, perhaps 2015.

Christy has no skill, she`s a libertatrian, public education would be dismantled, the assault on workers and workers protection would also continue...

And perhaps you missed her program today(Wednesday)...She had on a guest from the independent business association, he and cluck cluck railed against ANY INCREASE IN the MINIMUM WAGE!

Her guest suggested more low income credits, they balked at even raising minimum wage in 50cent increments.

Christy has no talent, she married money, and she is a liar.

And as for proportional representation, we don`t need it, Recall is the new tool at our disposal.

And Cam...If you want to know why countries are broke...Corporate tax rates are too low, they yak about moving to slave countries if they don`t get their way...Let them go...

It started with Ronald Reagen and Magaret Thatcher and continued with the bush`s...

One more thing Cam...Did you read about Tesako mine?...2 weeks before the feds rejected Prosperity mine at Fish Lake(Octber14)...Tesako shares were being dumped, a ten fold increase over normal trading for that stock...

An rcmp investigation into insider trading, somebody leaked to the big boys that the Feds were rejecting the mine..

Coincidence?...Jim Prentice resigned the day after Fish Lake was turned down and has gone to work for a big bank...

If you think the game isn`t rigged...Google up..FBI raiding hedge funds...Goldman Sachs and others are dirty, the money vanishes...

There were several hedge fund managers whose yearly stipend for managing the funds was over $2billion dollars.

BC Liberals are toast, Clark or no Clark...If they were to win, George Abbot would be a better choice...

Last point...Patrick Kinsella gave Christy Clark the job at cknw...

She`s dirty and corrupt Cam.

..."Finally, I think that her penchant to be in control would cause a good number of the sitting BC Liberal MLAs to bale on the party."

Cam, if the sitting liberal MLA's didn't bale on Campbell whose control issues make Clucker look like a milquetoast schoolmarm...what on earth makes you think they'd bale on her? Quite to the contrary, they'd rally around her to protect their little darling! So would big business due to Kinsella's running interference to make sure she got the job she has. She's proven her worth to both the party, and business - she's the "natural fit" once Gordo leaves. Especially when it comes to agenda completion.

There is NO difference between her and Campbell...have you ever watched her, watching him? Total adoration. She would carry Campbell's policies to the nth degree - and I have little doubt they'd be talking every day/night to figure out the next step.

Nope...I'd much rather see George Abbott in there - at least that man has some class.

Crankypants said...

Grant and Leah

I think you are missing my point. I want someone to succeed Gordo that will put the final few nails in the BC Liberal Party coffin. I believe that Christy Clark would be the perfect Trojan Horse. She may think like Campbell, but she is anything but a polished speaker. She trips over her words, and when challenged flies off the handle. It wouldn't take very long for her to insert both of her feet in her mouth. I doubt that she would take a run at it anyway. She had her eyes on becoming the mayor of Vancouver a while back, and even moved from Port Moody to Vancouver in that quest. The NPA rebuffed her then, but I don't know if they have a whole lot to choose from for next year's vote. Her rants against anything and everything going on in Vancouver lead me to believe that she may be laying the groundwork to give it another go.

I did hear her talking to Brian Bonney about the minimum wage issue, and he has always used the sky is falling arguement whenever the subject comes up. I'm sure that he gets all his speaking points directly from the Fraser Institute.

All I want to see is the BC Liberal Party go down in flames. To that end, I think that the last person I want to see win is George Abbott. His demeanor is so opposite from Campbell, that I think he would breathe new life into the party. If he won, the MSM would be heralding that the BC LIberal Party has entered a new era, with a kinder gentler approach, and I'm afraid that too many voters would buy it.

Thanked everyone for listening; blah, blah. She's not coming back by the sounds of it.

Carole James vs Christy Clark? OMG.

I've looked at your blog twice now, and I really believe that until you ditch the name calling, inflammatory language, and gratuitous insults, you're never going to be anything more than another irrelevant ranter in the blogosphere, preaching to the converted. And I say that as a life long NDP supporter, who would probably tend to agree with a lot of your views, if they were more civilly expressed.

I'd also suggest you spend a bit less time listening to talk radio. It's not healthy, or important.

Carole (what's her name...., oh yeah) James for Premier!!! Never mind the minimun wage, raise the starvation union wages! Every union memebr shold make at least the same as that idiot Gordo. Oh, and shorten the work week! To 3 days!!! Yes! And free BC Ferries passes to all! (non union mebers exempt). And we want a bike lane between Vancouver and the Island. Thats right build by trusted union members. While we are at it, lets make union mebership mandatory for bike riders (actually, lets just collect the dues from them, I hate those stupid bikers anyway). And Greogor Robertson should be the next president, thats right, that would show the right wing pigs who runs the country. Oh, and let's boycot that stoooopid cknw thing, not like anybody respects them or listens to them anyway. And Carole JAmes should have a talk show too, not just that crazy clack clack bietch. And jimmy from the BC fed should be on the friday show with that Good guy, he is the only one speaking the truth. Maybe once Carole wins, Jim will actually get to make some decisions, i mean who is better than him? Thats right nobody and Jim should have a takj show too, i would listen to him well. and moe sihota should really come back, hima dn jim Sinclair would do really fine jobs as premiers, after they get appointed by Carole. Cant beleive that Glennn Clark that SOb has has become a traitor and now gets paid by that pig jimmy pattison, hey Glenn how could you you were out more better premiere that any other before or after you. this hst bullshiet you know thats just crap, i mean how can they? another 12 procent on all stuff i buy going to pay some polititian when it could be going to pay and supporrt union drives to unionize more better places.

Did you see what Keith Baldheadrey wrote on his Facebook Page?

"As for the NDP, hmmmm.
They are, ah, internally challenged right now."

Yes that's right. He's mocking the NDP.

And then Sean 'PAB' Leslie wrote this on his Facebook Page:

"That sure sounded like a goodbye to me - by my friend Christy Clark'

I think the BC people are beyond feeling civil. Our province is, the most corrupt in Canada. The BC Liberals, are the worst, corrupt government that even the WW11 veterans, can remember. I am hoping once Craig James, stops tampering with the wording, in Elections BC, we would be able to bring the BC Liberal government down to non existence. Our BC children's fate of being so hungry, their teachers say, they can't even focus on their school work. This hideous, terrible government, must be abolished, never to be heard of again. My own personal opinion is, there is something drastically, mentally wrong with Campbell. No decent moral person, would ever treat hungry children, in the manner Campbell does. The Liberal ministers and the mla's, had better start asking themselves if, such as that is right in their eyes. I find it astonishing, what people are willing to sell their souls for.

YES , you can tell christy clark is a big liar/Bitch. she said she is "determined" to get BC out of debt. Not that she "will"...she is just determined....i'am a young adult 22 and will be voting , not for the liberals. for one she was a big advocate for Hst. there wasn't even a vote from the people if i'am correct they just dropped that bill on us and when people started protesting they decided to change it.. with doing so they up'ed the pst/gst. so it doesn't even make a difference which one we now have. vote green party. we need to help the earth and tax people for living and control human population. that is the only way for survival of the human race and planet. we have to protect our wild life and everyone has to help contribute to the growth of our economy and "not" by allowing these third party companies to come in and make us pay outrageous taxes on items. that are made cheaply and then by taxing us so they themselves get profit. sure we need a strong , educated and efficient leader to run our country/provinces to get us out of debt. but we also need is an alternative in making this a more greener place to live , rather than running out of resources and then going oh. now we will concentrate on going green now that we have ran out of resources , money and in major debt. its a circle that needs to change. IF YOUR CONCERNED ABOUT BC AND CANADA , ITS TIME TO VOTE FOR A CHANGE. don't be fooled by the devil in sheep clothing. just like it was "5 a clock in the morning" when i ran a red light with my kid and a reporter in the car. that's showing your kid something. sure we all make mistakes sure. but everyone should be held accountable just like anyone else. she isn't special and neither is campbell. we need someone who is really looking towards the future and not whats in there pocket at the end of the day. VOTE WHO EVER YOU WANT. you ,yourself will only regret that decision. if the government fails to do so in the future. i would like to be sure we can get it done. not just be determined that tells me she isn't to interested in changing anything with the way the government has been the last 12 YEARS !!! WE NEED CHANGE
