He was chosen because he knows nothing and like Sargent Schultz (on a program I will never watch) he knows nothing, nothing, nothing.<br /><br />He has now made the claim that a rapid transit (SkyTrain) connection can be made on the yet unbuilt underside of the new Port Mann Bridge.<br /><br />Now the "eye" has been around a long time and nowhere and I mean nowhere have I seen plans for a transit addition under the bridge.<br /><br />The Port Mann, for those who don't know, is a cable stayed bridge, a sorta cantilevered suspension bridge and you just do not add on bits and bobs under the bridge if one feels like it.<br /><br />Stone has the ugly Translink debacle in his portfolio and already he is making a hash of it as most people, except for about 110,000 students holding the deep discounted U-Pass, want Translink to "begone".<br /><br />The Hwy. 17 & 17A debacle is another headache for the Liberals as over $1 billion was spent on the SFPR in Delta, yet it hasn't improved access for anyone, save a few commuters who work in North Delta and live in South Delta or visa vera. The new Hwy. 17 is o badly laid out that it is an accident waiting to happen.<br /><br />No, the SFPR and Translink will only ensure one Viki Huntington MLA, a third term as independent MLA for Delta South.<br /><br />For the NDP, they just have to keep both Meggs and Harcourt quite, as every-time either opens their mouths, the NDP lose more votes. They need to be given a one way ticket to anywhere out of media range of BC.<br /><br />As for the Liberals, haha, we have elected carpetbaggers, con artists, and footpads to the legislature.<br /><br />Finally for the three deadbeats on NW, they have all won the the prestigious, Dr. Herr Goebbels award, for 'Astute propaganda" for "telling a lie over and over again, so the public will believe it is true." <br /><br />Quae mala sunt spurii qui ad sese liberos denarios in stuproEvil Eyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-66246734799446268262014-02-09T10:53:30.784-08:002014-02-09T10:53:30.784-08:00Elwood-I didn`t watch the infomercial, that advert...Elwood-I didn`t watch the infomercial, that advertisement was promoted in the Vancouver Sun...The Province newspaper and Billy Good had Jas Johal on air in a radio segment to advertise the Saturday night infomercial..<br /><br />Nobody watched it...<br /><br />Public was watching movies, hockey and Olympics.<br /><br />The infomercial left out nuclear, left out Russia with direct pipelines into China, left out much much more.<br /><br />Sponsored by the BC Government..<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br /><br /><br />Grant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-91344593828168576202014-02-09T06:05:02.311-08:002014-02-09T06:05:02.311-08:00Not the place, but ...

Cause the hoarders don't pay, and get huge tax breaks, incentives etc. It's you and me and my dog that pay ... through nose. Enough of the subsidies to these "corporations". All they do is cut back on everyday people trying to living every day. <br /><br />http://www.mining.com/taxes-hurt-cash-flow-at-canadian-oil-sands-84021/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-90700070117018671052014-02-08T23:01:00.576-08:002014-02-08T23:01:00.576-08:00Grant, did you see the 1 hour P(L)IEce by Glowball...Grant, did you see the 1 hour P(L)IEce by Glowball News tonight at 7 pm? I am still stupified to now. It was a shill corporate item by Jas Johal. Most people are so busy with their lives and have the additional burden of financial problems that they won't know any better!<br /><br />You are always right. The MSM is nothing more than a corporate mouthpiece to feed the masses. So sad what BC has become under the LIEberals.<br /><br />Just wish that there is some hope to get rid of this entire deceitful MSM/LIEberal gang.

What makes you think their would be any significant change? <br />When all that I hear is the same old lines with a twist. Always the same smile, a face that shows concern but a heart that doesn't.<br /><br />I think your commitment to change is good, very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-63746693066814465812014-02-08T10:18:39.721-08:002014-02-08T10:18:39.721-08:00Harper is the one and only Canadian PM ever, to be...Harper is the one and only Canadian PM ever, to be held in contempt of Parliament. Just when you think he could possibly couldn't sink any lower? He does. Imagine 270 Canadians at the tar sands, having to walk past 270 foreigners, Harper is giving their jobs to. And, that isn't the only time this has happened. How that evil monster gets to stay in office boggles me.<br /><br />Then we have Christy Clark, in league with the devil Harper, just as Campbell the criminal was. Her non-stop lying BS of thousands of jobs for BC. And, thousands of Chinese coming over for, Harper and Christy's Northern BC mining plan. Communist China was already given 200 BC mining jobs. It's a good thing, Harper signed a deal with, the Red Communist China Army? That is the only way they will ever get the Enbridge pipeline into BC. Quite frankly, we don't give a damn if Communist China ever gets, their dirty cheap Bitumen.<br /><br />Herr Harper's so called Con henchmen and his Campbell/Clark BC Liberals are all from, the Ninth Ring of Dante's Inferno. All of them with their, lies, deceit, thefts, corruption, dirty politics, dirty tactics and, all of them cheated to win.

Ironic for sure as the Greens ran a campaign against sewage treatment in 2012. I wonder if he will endorse the BC Liberal budget again this year?<br />The Greens spend more effort undermining the NDP then the current Liberal lot. What does that tell you?

Makes one wonder why the MSM doesn't just dump their current lot and just hire the BC Lions cheerleaders - would be much less expensive for the corporate MSM with the same result.<br /><br />Now Grant, it is obvious that the LIEberals are digging themselves into another hole of lies, which will eventually backfire on them. Makes me happy because they will eventually go down - next time without duping us.<br /><br />Having said that, you know that I like the Greens Andrew Weaver - nice guy and makes sense on many matters - although I don't agree with him on everything.<br /><br />I know that you like John Horgan and it looks like he will come back into the NDP leadership race. Admittedly, the Greens won't win the next election but the NDP can. What's your take on the NDP leadership race so far? Why are they taking so long?<br /><br />Again, admittedly, the Greens won't win government and the NDP is the only other party that can oust the LIEberals.<br /><br />Frankly, I just want to know how the NDP and/or Greens can finally dump this deceitful lot!Elwoodnoreply@blogger.com
