Only Christy believers are still holding out for the promised mythical sparkle ponies. But most BCers didn't see this latest LNG backdown today as it was preempted by a breaking Premier Clark exclusive.<br /><br />Tonight's Global News was all hands on deck with Sophie and Kieth's exclusive focus on Christy's tell all. Few news watchers would have noticed the lack of any update on Shell's backing away from BC LNG today, announcing intentions to throttle off funding due to uneconomic market outlook. More Sparkel Ponies down!<br /><br />I find it telling Ms Clark today of all days, for the first time ever (to anyone) has revealed this personal attempted assault as a youngster. Not surprising it was reported in all the local media. It is surprising to me that Ms Clark given this history has been far from empathetic in sincerely speaking out on this issue until just now. Ms Clark said she was motivated to speak out now because she wanted to highlight the issue and support the important bill sponsored by the Green Party's Andrew Weaver. Clark's praise of the independent MLA Weaver in Question Period seemed more about bullying the Opposition NDP with snarky smirking - calling the NDP the party of no (actually the NDP totally supported Weaver's UVic sexual harassment private member bill). Clark appeared to be more about enjoying hardball partisan politics for points and deflection more than supporting the importantt new bill.<br /><br />Another recent example that also seems incongruent with Clark's sensitivity and sincerity was her handling of her then Chief of Staff Ken Bosenkool's aggravated sexual assault of a work mate. The assault was reported and there was little outrage from the government. In fact there was actually no record of how the internal investigation was handled, no meeting notes, record of discussion, findings... nothing. It appeared as if the firing took place in a darkened hallway and was all secretively hushed up. Bosenkool departed abruptly and quietly. There was no transparency from Clark's office and little empathy and respect for the attacked victim. I think someone that has experienced an aggravated attack such as Ms Clark recalled today would be much more forthright in dealing with the Bosenkool crime and charges and more respectful and empathetic to the victim. I did not see this from the Premier or her government in this case.<br /><br />Bill<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-6873446918652171762016-06-09T19:28:03.825-07:002016-06-09T19:28:03.825-07:00Yes indeed...LNG fantasy dying fast, a perfect pol...Yes indeed...LNG fantasy dying fast, a perfect political time to plaster the Vancouver Sun..The Province newspaper front pages and Global news lead story with a Christy Clark tale of trauma....She remembers everything so clearly, the weather, the time, the place, remembers feeling relieved and remembers catching her breath...She doesn't remember what the person looks like..<br /><br />Anon 5:43 pm...Many sexual assault victims go silent, fear of being shamed, or fear of religion tainting one damaged...But that usually happens with victims who were actually assaulted..Those who use cunning, wrggleness and run like the wind speed to escape are usually the loudest voices after the fact..<br /><br />This was a difficult post to write, political correctness you know...No media nor opposition can say anything about this Clark tale except....Poor poor little Christy Clark..anything else one sets themselves up to be attacked..<br /><br />Big media gave Christy center stage to retell her story of trauma and survival...<br /><br />LNG disaster drifted out of the news cycle..<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br /><br /><br />Grant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-12483981686747939192016-06-09T18:54:25.894-07:002016-06-09T18:54:25.894-07:00Sadly, Postmedia, Corus Radio and Global news are ...Sadly, Postmedia, Corus Radio and Global news are the BC Liberal Party's official organs and they constantly bleat the Premier Photo-op narrative.<br /><br />LNG is tanking, the new BC Hydro Dam is tenuous, BC's debt is rising past the danger point; the housing bubble is turning into a massive Chinese money laundering scheme, Children continue to die in the Ministry of "Fear's" care; and the Premier is openly taking graft from major corporations who pay handsomely into the BC Liberal Party's coffers and on it goes.<br /><br />First it was a new high school in New West, but that did not stem the questions why Osoyous is losing their only high school and today it was another new high school for the North Shore.<br /><br />Despite the good news stories, Photo-op is losing popularity so today it was a boo hoo, I was sexually Assaulted and of course the Liberal party organs continued reporting as nauseum. The narrative is to feel sorry for Christi and forget all those terrible things she has done. Over and over again we hear Christi well choreographed rendition, more and more people become sympathetic towards the very woman who charges seniors in care $25 a month for wheelchairs.<br /><br />She is an evil sociopath who cares nothing but for herself; insane people seldom do.Evil Eyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-45749947586039956772016-06-09T17:43:32.120-07:002016-06-09T17:43:32.120-07:00I guess I'm not the only one thinking she'...I guess I'm not the only one thinking she's beyond the pale. Does she not realize; if it is true, she is complicit by not speaking out? What if that was Pickton who dragged her in a bush? Come on women, call her out for the despicable cow she is.
