If you we...Oh, for Christ's sakes you guys... <br /><br />If you were told by your small employer that they had no long-term disability to offer, but they wanted to show their appreciation for your hard work by sending you on a trip, you would have probably taken it too. <br /><br />You don't think Coleman and the Libs knew about the internal compensation for staff? I have been involved many times with groups that ask for government funding and they want to know everything about you, including your grandmothers' name before they release a dime to you, and then they want comprehensive annual reports, including financial, which as you know, show employee costs. <br /><br />The Libs were completely aware, but, as usual, were NOT doing their jobs, AND, as usual, after this issue is stirred up by their media, are still not speaking up. You don't think they'd have jumped to criminal charges if they could have? One thing they ARE good at is getting us all to fight amongst ourselves.<br /><br />C'mon......we have enough REAL issues to focus on. And Grant - I will make the comparison. If what happened at PHS shouldn't have happened; change the policy so it doesn't occur again and get them to join the Chamber and sign on for the benefit program. <br /><br />After all, isn't changing the policy exactly what the Libs did with the bonus pay for the BC Ferry board? <br /><br />Really - regardless of what you think about Jenny Kwan - do you seriously think she would deliberately end her career in some stupid manner like this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174651247341194730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-63004430658138985462014-03-26T07:18:28.465-07:002014-03-26T07:18:28.465-07:00http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c...http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-mla-linda-reid-apologizes-for-husband-s-5-500-airfare-1.2586158<br /><br />They're all doing it. <br />They feel they are "entitled" to whatever they wish for themselves or friends. Who has the guts to put a stop to these? And that's a question to both the NDP and liebs. I'm tired of the high cost of living in this province to pay for these so called leaders. This is at all levels of government - municipal too. Who has the GUTS?<br /><br />Yeah, I finally talked one of my relatives into leaving this province. Not much here for young ones to look forward to except higher taxes, medical premiums, car insurance, hydro, tolls, transit, gas ... and the list goes on.

Some call it a lie, some call it dishonest, but whatever, maybe we're splitting hairs.<br />Look there is no way this can be made to look good. No amount of spin can change that. I suspect that Jenny may be forced out by realistic political pressure as you allude to, but she is also a victim here too.<br />She was told something that wasn't true and is paying a steep political price for it.Pete's Viewpointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500471660604607507noreply@blogger.com
