"Just shows you what an excellent job we're doing! " As long as they get their $200,000 pay check and indexed pension, what do they care about your caterwauling ?<br />The more we complain to our little "inside group" - you know, the two to three dozen commentators that make sense, the more blatant they get. There are still four million people in BC that DON'T get it! And that's their target.<br />I don't have the answer, because you can't all move to Australia, and to be honest, it isn't all roses & sunshine down here. But I don't think they have a corporate owned press, and sometimes their politicians are held to account.<br />Grant, you're doing an amazing job, but you and Norm can't do it alone.

No doubt the big bunch of controlled cowards are quietly doing something else (as is always the case when something important is taking place).<br /><br />The rot is getting to be unsustainable. This stealing from the rubes has become their only concern. We're trapped in an abusive relationship and the cops are turning a blind eye because they're in on it too. These fascists are going to keep oppressing us until our blood is running in the streets. <br /><br />We need to stand up and stop them now. <br /><br />To begin with, vote "No" on this referendum. <br /><br />Then we're going to have to occupy the mainstream media and break them up.<br /><br />Next the cosy two-party paradigm needs to be re-forged into a coalition of principled independents. <br /><br />Then we have to do a forensic audit of Translink and BC Hydro. <br /><br />We also have to abrogate the IPP contracts and convene a criminal inquest into the sale of BC Hydro. <br /><br />Or else, we the place is going to collapse in a stinking heap of debt and despair for all but the most sinister.Jon Ghunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-76409592381091159792015-02-03T14:09:19.846-08:002015-02-03T14:09:19.846-08:00Gotta Grow,Grow,Grow!
