(no, privatization kings/big business elites)<br /><br />Charging that the NDP actually “wants” to “beat up” British Columbians, Ms. Clark added that one of her main reasons for re-entering politics was to keep the New Democrats down on the farm, so to speak, after they’ve seen Victoria.<br /><br />Cheekily, one wonders why keeping the NDP from power wasn’t equally important in 2005 and 2009, when Ms. Clark stayed on the electoral sidelines. Of course, there was no vacancy beckoning in the premier’s office.<br /><br />Just been handed the reins of terror to continue on with the dirty work of campbell in selling off, privatizing and out sourcing everything in this province.

Only Hydro doesn't want to put it that way, you are correct.<br />KootCoot; If you were to go back and read the "Draft Energy Policy" that Campbell put out through that Neufeld character in the beginning they had some "Buzz-Words" in it that set my juices boiling. One of those words/phrases was "We need to go to Market Pricing" in order to become more competitive. What that meant, Kootcoot, was "We need to jack up the price, way up, in order to make it profitable to allow Private Power Producers to come into BC and Rape us". As it was, the price of power under Glen Clark et al was a reflection of the actual cost of building infrastructure and operating it. As WAC Bennett had planned. He was correct. Hydro, ( water generation) is our freakin' birthright here in BC and these assholes think they can sell us down the river, the dirty bastards. I hate their guts for doing this just to keep their political contributors happy and rich by stealing us dry.<br />One more thing KooCoot; When I first read that Draft Energy Policy, I called the Mayor of Kitimat and I told him if that Policy became Law, Kitimat would be the biggest looser. I told him right then that Alcan would no longer need to operate an expensive smelter with all of the labour costs and maintenance that went with it if Alcan could simply shut it down and sell their power to BC Hydro at inflated rates. He laughed at me and now look at what is going on. Alcan is one of the largest private power producers who sells to BC Hydro. Kitimat be damned!hydr0l1c5https://www.blogger.com/profile/00989792069577547351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-6055068086660937612011-02-25T01:30:39.051-08:002011-02-25T01:30:39.051-08:00I don't think that anyone should be declared a...I don't think that anyone should be declared a winner this Saturday mainly because that person will be annointed the Premier of this province.<br /><br />There is obviously a problem with new membership signups. Animals, hockey teams, inducements such as Ipads and people getting memberships without ever joining seem to be just the beginning.<br /><br />Today we learn that there may be thousands of members that have not yet received the PIN nimber they will need to be able to vote. Apparently, some areas of the province only get mail service twice a week, so one would logically assume that they ain't getting theirs. According to Falcon, Canada Post states that those that do get mail delivery tomorrow are not getting any correspondence from the BC Liberal Party. The help line set up by the party rings busy, which indicates that they are either understaffed or have too few phone lines to handle the volume, or a combination of the two.<br /><br />Then tonight, on the late news on CTV, there was a report that the telephone voting part of the programme will only be conducted in English. Ignoring the fact that this may be a contravention of Canadian law, considering that we are a bi-lingual nation, many of the members of the party are computer illiterate and were planning to vote by phone. According to the spokesman, many of the Asian members are also English illiterate as well. In other words, they may not be able to successfully register their vote.<br /><br />To recap, we have a good possibility that illigitimate members of the BC Liberal Party voting and legitimate members unable to vote because they either didn't receive their PIN identification or are hindered by not being able to deal with the method of voting. Add to that the destinct possibility that non-members may have received the missing PIN numbers, and you have a recipe for nothing but a bogus excercise. Whether the members that did not receive their PIN numbers are the victims of incompetence or something much darker, such as a deliberate intent by someone, or group, to fix the results, one can see that all is not well in Liberalland.<br /><br />If Saturday's vote goes off as planned, and a successor to Gordon Campbell is declared, I would hope that Elections BC does the right thing and hold a full investigation into the legitimacy of this excercise. The fact that this vote will present us with our new Premier demands no less.<br /><br />And finally, I think that the problems that have come forth in this excercise lead me to believe that we are a long way from ever considering conducting a general election using the internet.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-9224475197960836702011-02-24T19:54:21.705-08:002011-02-24T19:54:21.705-08:00TO MUCH COKE AND BOOZE FOR GORDO AND HIS FELLOW CR...TO MUCH COKE AND BOOZE FOR GORDO AND HIS FELLOW CRIMINALS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-37869330750955557152011-02-24T13:13:27.922-08:002011-02-24T13:13:27.922-08:00Liberal, all of them, shameful group.

What in the hell goes on here? The Liberals, just get to throw the corrupt memberships in the waste basket. Craig James, even changed the wording, after the fact, and had the gall to sic the police on the BC citizens.

On page 12 of the Report it states the reasons for the proposed rate increases of 9.7% per year for five years. They are to, 1 - improve on the "Return Of Equity" to the Province. 2 - To pay for higher levels of Ammortization and Investments,<br />3 - To off-set the reduction in income due to the weaker demand for power.<br />You see, it's not for "Infrastructure Upgrades" as the mainstream media wants us to believe, it is because we "DO NOT NEED AS MUCH POWER AS THEY THOUGHT WE WOULD". We have listened, as a people, to their propoganda and reduced the amount of power we consume so, BC Hydro is not receiving the income they would have had we kept consuming like pigs so now they need to raise the rates to make up the shortfall due to conservation. Conservation measures they were ramming down our throats through "Power Smart Program" for years.<br />What a pack of lies.hydr0l1c5https://www.blogger.com/profile/00989792069577547351noreply@blogger.com
