Christy Clark Caretaker Government/ The Beginning of the End

Perhaps it`s the pain, maybe sadness, more likely the source is anger, whatever the cause matters not and as for explaining it I cannot...

Clarity, unadulterated pure thought, the ability to be there in the room with my enemies as they squirm, conspire and plot to salvage not only their future but perhaps even their own lives, the day, today in particular, Shakespeare would be proud, there is another saying or phrase that comes to mind..

"All the worlds a stage"

We had a three part special performed today and from what I gather most of the media and the public bought it hook, line and sinker.....Actually, if you count the BC Liberal movie of the week we have four elaborate movies being played simultaneously,....BC Hydro.....Let`s start with that straw man whipping boy.....We had the BC Liberal review on BC Hydro recently completed, the report clearly indicated the reason for skyrocketing residential customer rates is the aquisition of run of river power, that is the elephant in the room, power buying contracts of 30 and 40 years at rates 4 to 10 times the current spot market rates, the report also mentioned that the real goal of the smart meters was for real time billing(premium cost power at family time..5:00 pm to 10:pm)....The BC Hydro review also highlighted a bloated payroll, 41% more hires in the last 8 years and some pretty good double pensions....

The BC Liberal stageplay on BC Hydro was to, through PAB press releases, through a compliant CKNW and Global TV.(CKNW did a special last Friday, the whole show was about tearing down hydro workers pensions and highlight that BC Hydro has more employees making over 100,000.00 than any other crown corporation....

I am not condoning the over generous pensions but....But can`t you see the con, the BC Liberals are trying to anger the public over salaries when the real reason the public is furious is about skyrocketing hydro rates, the public`s focus has been directed at compensation of employees rather than where the real problem lies, IPP contracts and smart meters...As for BC Hydro having the most 100,000.00 K salaries, Linemen/woman make good money and work long shifts during storms, Hydro also employs engineers, scientists and a very high-skilled workforce, compare the skills of the average BC Hydro worker compared to Translink, high-tension linemen compared to bus drivers, no offense meant to any bus drivers, the reason for skyrocketing hydro rates are the Run of River contracts, we buy high and sell low.....The Gordon Campbell legacy lives on through hydro rates..

The UBCM convention in Vancouver, the mayors and councilors will be voting on the smart meters, whether or not they will be allowed to be installed in their constituencies, first off, these mayors have no say, the people have no say, in-fact Rich Coleman after hearing about the smart meter vote at the UBCM quickly came out with a statement saying and I quote...


“We continue what we are supposed to do, and that is to install smart meters in British Columbia,” he said. “We have already made the investment, we’ve already passed the legislation in the Clean Energy Act. We have invested [as much as] $400 million so far and a resolution [by the UBCM] is not going to stop us.”

I would like to examine that statement, what does that mean...

"We continue to do what we are supposed to do" snip

Is Coleman a robot, controlled, and if yes by who?

"We`ve already passed legislation in the clean energy act"snip

You mean Gordon Campbell told the public, the media, the Province, and by his hand Gordon Campbell said smart meters get installed, no oversight, no public debate, no perusal by the BCUC, no nothing but a dictorial decree by a habitual liar and criminal and Rich Coleman said that he and his fellow law makers are stuck with it, stuck with a legislated law, stuck with a law they voted on?!....Are you kidding me, and you media, where were you, the clean energy act was rammed through the legislature with closure, debate cut off and you just stood there with empty pens and cheerleading words....And you mayors want to make a symbolic gesture, you want to side with the people, you want to grandstand with your useless vote that you all know is worthless, where were your voices when the clean energy act was proposed, if the smart meters are so damn good then why was/is the BC Liberal Government afraid of scrutiny....??..Exactly, many MLAs will live in danger, when the truth comes out, when the facts are revealed, how complicit these BC Liberal MLAs were in abetting the Gordon Campbell crimes, I wouldn`t want to be a BC Liberal MLA, especially a former BC Liberal MLA......Many have written on smart meters, the BC Liberal Ties/The Federal Liberal ties, insider deals, big stock purchases by floor crosser David Emerson...

History will judge thee BC Liberals.....Karma will take care of the rest.

Part III of this stage play is David Hahn, the man is leaving as a failure, he sank a ferry, he chased away tourists with outrageous RV and boat trailer fees, he slammed local residents with insults and even refused to honour pre-paid fares, and despite Hahn being praised by CKNW/Global news and the BC Liberals as a great CEO, the name of the game, the goal of BC Liberal public affairs army spin machine is to highlight a new paid less by tons CEO, also to highlight some tweaking of future pension obligations, a hiring freeze and an end of the sop to the $billionaire Aquilinni and through it all the root cause of BC Ferries fiscal nightmare is all but being ignored, BC Ferries is set to lose $25 million dollars this year, ridership is down to 20 year lows, our population has increased by nearly 1 million in 20 years and ridership is falling, Hahn succeeded at nothing, a stooge appointee planted to shield BC Ferries books from the prying public eyes, because the truth be known, BC Ferries could save $40 million dollars per year on interest charges on their $1.6 billion dollar starting tomorrow, all they have to do is bring BC Ferries under crown corporation status, borrow $1.6 billion dollars, pay of their debt to the German banks and refinance at 4% interest rather than the 11% they are currently paying, David Hahn has left BC Ferries in worse shape than they have ever been in, and without refinancing the debt BC Ferries will continue to bleed cash, yet the story being spun by PAB will be all about David Hahn`s transformation of BC Ferries from the dismal days in the 90`s and his altruistic reasons for leaving, the emphasis will be placed on wages of joe average worker, again the root cause of the Ferries fiscal woes will be ignored, gas guzzling defective ferries, usury interest rates on the debt and, and the big one...The $500 million dollars Gordon Campbell forced BC Ferries to borrow, $500 million that went into general revenue that BC Ferries is paying interest on, the dreaded debenture.

And the really big news today, or should I say the big lie...The BC Liberal Government employ advisors, panels, spin doctors, the BC Liberal Government also employs over 200 freaky looking PAB employees who hang all over the ministers as they speak, the largest public affairs department in North America, maybe the largest in the world, they spin the news, they have direct lines to every complicit media room in the Province.....And what are the odds that what Shirley Bond said today about the RCMP is nothing but another elaborate ruse.

I would like you to think about this.....Why would Shirley Bond say anything about the Federal Conservative Government issuing a 9 week ultimatum to the BC Liberal Government about signing a new 20 year contract with the RCMP.....Why indeed, what is the angle, what ruse is PAB plotting, first off, according to Shirley Bond the Harper Government showed the  BC government a copy of the RCMP contract Alberta and Saskatchewan recently signed and said, you get the same deal, sign it......That does not ring true, what makes British Columbia think they can get a better deal, a cheaper deal than either Alberta and Saskatchewan....This story isn`t about whether we should replace the RCMP with our own BC Police force, this story isn`t about tasering or drunken lying cheating RCMP officers,  this is not the issue.....The story is about the spin, this story is about a senior, I mean a really really old senior politician(shirley Bond) in public, starting a pissing contest with the Federal Government, and, does Shirley Bond really believe that Stephen Harper gives a rat`s ass about the court of public opinion when he`s in the first year of a 5 year majority?!...

So why was this leaked at the UBCM convention? there are over 200 members of the BC Government PAB and they let this story leak out????.....Also, why would Shirley Bond panic at this time, the Federal Government gave her until the end of November to sign a deal.....So why the pissing contest with the Federal Government?

And why hasn`t the media picked up on this, for if the NDP were in power and they started a Federal battle with three 800lb elephants on the line,  they would be ridiculed for stupidity, Christy Clark recently has been on the record as saying.

"The BC Liberal Government has always been on good terms with the Federal Conservative Government"

And maybe some of the people, maybe everybody has forgotten about the three 800lb gorillas in the room, isn`t there a tens of $billions of dollars worth of federal ship building contracts soon to be let out by Stephen Harper, and who is competing for these contracts....The HST province of Ontario, the HST province of Quebec, the HST province of Newfoundland the HST province of......Err, never-mind

So why indeed, perhaps the anger expressed by Shirley Bond today was really in response to British Columbia NOT getting any of the ship building contracts??

Think about these optics..A  Federal Government ship building contract worth tens of $billions of dollars is about to be released to 2 of 4 provinces.....BC is "allegedly" in talks with Ottawa about fast tracking the removal of the HST and then there is that little issue of the $1.6 billion dollar bribe Ottawa wants back.....Harper wants his HST foothold in Western Canada, Gordon Campbell has already been rewarded for his betrayal of British Columbia....

So with that in the background, with the BC Liberals 200 plus member of the Public Affairs Bureau controlling the message,  Shirley Bond screams the sky is falling because the Feds gave her a 9 week deadline to sign the same deal everyone else did. are you kidding me!....A court of public opinion pissing contest with the Federal Government with the HST $1.6 billion on the line and a Federal shipbuilding contract.....It was no accident.

There is only 1 possibility in my mind.... BC got nixed with the Federal ship building contract...The Federal Conservative Government told Christy Clark that the HST must remain or no Ship building contract will come BC`s way....The BC Liberals squirmed a response back to Prime minister Harper...The HST if Kept will destroy the BC Liberal party...To which Harper responded......The BC Liberals are disposable, the HST is not..

And there is also a slim chance that the BC Liberals want to make their own police force,  imagine this scenario, Christy Clark and her corporate advisers hand picking a BC Police force, her chiefs, her PR people, her priorities, as much as the RCMP disturb me, my Dad told me about the old BC Police force, and Dad  described that force like this....."The best police force money could buy"      Sorry folks, the thought of the BC Liberals assembling a police force is too much to take.
 

So....What we really have is the complete demise of the Conservative side of the BC Liberal party, the line was drawn in the sand today, Christy Clark is in survival mode and has but one short straw left to grasp.....She must distance herself from the Federal Conservatives and hope and pray that the Harper regime crashes and burns in the public`s eye before the next election, good luck with that!
