Leckstrom, now favors the HST. Christy refused to answer the questions on, Campbell's theft and sale of the BCR. Falcon said, he has had countless calls, from restaurant owners really loving the HST. Mr. Mikes and The Pantry restaurants are closing their doors, the HST has killed them. <br /><br />I really doubt the referendum, will be honest on the BC Liberals side. Leckstrom has said, not to judge the HST on our emotions, but on facts. We know the facts. We are forced to live with these facts. The HST is killing, Christy's families she has said, come first with her. Seniors can't make ends meet. The blue collar family's are struggling.<br /><br />We are hearing all of the lies, the HST ads are peddling on TV. The people are coming around and loving the HST. Can you believe that? We are going to have to think of something to combat the BC Liberals. If anything, the lies are getting worse and worse. <br /><br />How were these BC Liberals, brought up at home?

It lied about talking to the federal government about HST during the last election campaign, and about its intentions to bring in the HST afterward. The people of British Columbia were not given the chance to have a fair discussion about the merits of this tax, because the game was rigged against them. We genuinely need to identify and clear away the crimes against democracy committed by the BC government. That’s what this is about. Only after that will it be appropriate to sit down and discuss whether HST or GST+PST is a better deal for the people of BC.<br />Couldn't have said it better myself.

They lie, yo...The BC Liberals totally lack dignity. They lie, you dare not take their word for any endeavor. Such as the HST wasn't on Campbell and Hansen's radar. Hansen's stacked HST panel. Watching Hansen in the Legislature, turned my stomach. The BC Liberals have no respect for the legislature, what-so-ever.<br /><br />Underhanded tactics are obvious, in all their dealings with the BC people. Campbell thought nothing of, thieving the BCR and selling it. Campbell thieved and sold, everything he could get his hands on. The trial of the BCR, was a total farce. held in a corrupt court. Presided over, by a corrupt judge, who allowed, the brain dead witness, Martyn Brown.<br /><br /><br />Even the Liberal criminal charges, don't even phase them. How many BC ministers have been, under investigation, from Campbell's time in office and on? I have actually lost count.<br /><br />Christy is every bit as underhanded as Campbell is. She cheats to win too. Resorting to have a photo shoot, outside the election hall doors. Calling Eby dirty names, that was most disgusting. Well we know from other postings, Christy is no lady. She totally lacks any dignity. <br /><br />The corruption of, Craig James of Elections BC. We can't trust him on any of the votes. Falcon and De Jong are disgusting. In fact the BC Liberals are disgusting, period. They fully deserve our contempt. <br /><br />How were these people brought up? Why do they have such a lack, of good character? It just boggles me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-36842114172602898802011-05-26T14:47:25.283-07:002011-05-26T14:47:25.283-07:00Willy says:

I think that the Liberals are laying the groundwork for the next general election. When you consider that they have already purloined NDP ideas such as increasing the minimum wage, cancelling pay parking in Provincial parks and floating the idea of using the carbon tax for transit, they have been positioning themselves for the next election. Think about it, would the Liberals rather lose the HST vote and retain power by winning the next election or win the HST vote and lose their grip on power.<br /><br />The revenue losses by losing the HST could easily be made up by the stealth taxes they have employed in the past using the Crown Corporations as their vehicle of choice. If anyone thinks that the trial balloon tossed out by ICBC regarding having motorists losing their safe driving discounts by getting one moving violation was the idea of ICBC's executives alone, then I've still probably got some BCRIC shares to sell you. Yes, Shirley Bond may have not known about it, but I will bet anything that her predecessor was in on it from the getgo. Unfortunately our vaunted MSM reporters are either too lazy, too stupid, or too biased to get the real story. As a matter of fact, the quick cancellation of this ploy also played into the hands of the BC Liberals. It makes Christy Clark and Shirley Bond look like heroes and fits right in with Christy's families first agenda.<br /><br />There is an old saying "to beware of people bearing gifts", and as far as I'm concerned, when they come from a politician's mouth, the recommended response is to run as fast as one can.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-59083309361526531812011-05-25T22:15:36.252-07:002011-05-25T22:15:36.252-07:00I think you are giving the BC public too much cred...I think you are giving the BC public too much credit.

The Christy Cup.<br />In the meantime the NDP and its leader Adrian Who have disappeared from the hearts and minds of God Fearing BC Hockey Fans faster than the Ottawa Senators.<br />Now that its the finals, BC's Evita Peron/Madonna (aka Christy Clark) . . . will be sticking so close to the Canucks on their crusade for the holy grail of hockey . . . you would think they all were sharing the same thong.<br /> <br />It is no stretch to consider the BC Liberal caucus and cabinet meeting directly from the corporate box at Roger's Arena.<br />For those away from home games, the team will likely at taxpayer's expense have BC's Queen of Hockey and her son Hamish Gretzky helping to guide the Canucks to victory.<br />And we may even see Canada's King of Hockey and greatest strategist of all time, Stephen the First, in Vancouver also sharing a corporate box and battle plan or two with the future first female Conservative Prime Minister of Canada.<br /> <br />But why all this line of hockey crap??!!<br /> <br />Simple.<br />Hockey in Canada is like Bibles, Guns and the Flag in America, and recent political-history has taught us you can never get enough of any of this on either side of the 49th.<br />So if the Canucks win . . . The Christy Cup you can bet the BC Liberals and the Queen of Hockey will pick up 50,000+ extra puck-head votes in the upcoming election.<br />If the Canucks lose then watch Christy dump her stick in the Delta Landfill and become BC's Queen of Football, standing hip to hip with Dennis Skulsky and his BC Lions of capitalism.BC Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-42346025556550529932011-05-25T15:18:50.890-07:002011-05-25T15:18:50.890-07:00Right Grant.
