In ConMan Black's Press - Peace Arc...Hi Grant,<br /><br />In ConMan Black's Press - Peace Arch News today, Tuesday, January 13, 2015 the question of the week is....Do you know WHICH WAY you'll vote in the transit referendum?<br /><br />So far this week you've said.......yes 72% no 28% 67 responding.<br /><br />I'm sure the sheeple who still believe everything the corrupt media say will read this to mean that they are being asked if they ARE VOTING yes or no on this bogus referendum, not that they are only being asked if they know WHICH WAY they will vote.<br /><br />I won't be voting on this stupid question of course and I won't hold my breath for them to ask the proper question..How will you vote in the transit referendum, yes or no?<br /><br />Most people will look at it and say gee everyone's voting yes for the referendum so I will too.<br /><br />Old Black needs to go back to the USA and STAY there.<br /><br />Jean....who will be voting no on the dumbass transit referendum!<br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-81407789634996194932015-01-13T11:24:35.041-08:002015-01-13T11:24:35.041-08:00Been saying that for years..BC Liberals stealing f...Been saying that for years..BC Liberals stealing fromcrown corporations and hiding debt..that 1992 date isn`t really correct..<br /><br />When the BC Liberals came into power in 2001 BC Hydro had one deferral account with debt, it was for about $300 million dollars..<br /><br />So from 2001 to today BC Liberals have put BC Hydro into $15 billion dollars in debt..I mention BC Hydro`s debt in the below links, though I never knew the debt was that large..<br /><br />http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/2014/12/site-c-dam-not-required-british.html<br /><br /><br />http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/2015/01/site-c-dam-lets-flush-15-billion.html<br /><br /><br />And yes, right now John Horgan is taking, and listening to political advice from his chief adviser Mr. Heaney and from Bill Tieleman..<br /><br />That`s why John Horgan at present is virtually useless, coming across as a stunned idiot..<br /><br />Unless John Horgan starts taking advice from others, like The Straight Goods...If Horgan keeps listening to Bill Teileman..<br /><br />The NDP is doomed.<br /><br />Such a shame, I receive an endless amount of email asking what the hell happened to John Horgan<br /><br />All I can answer those emails with is...<br /><br />I don`t know, mental issues, health issues or perhaps bribes..<br /><br />There is no explanation..Maybe someone got to Horgan, pulling Horgan`s strings like a puppet, a marionette..<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Grant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-41603223107633504622015-01-13T11:10:12.305-08:002015-01-13T11:10:12.305-08:00Illegal .?

Never saw him as any more than an opportunist. What made me suspicious was the way in which he has argued for retaining the FPTP electoral system. <br /><br />Always on about how PR or STV would not be perfect replacements for what we have now even though most of us know that FPTP is the least democratic system of all; a system used to colonize people and nothing more than that.<br /><br />The real reason being that without FPTP he would lose a considerable amount of consulting and political strategy fees.<br /><br />Back to Translink;<br /><br />Interesting to note that while we have to pay for the Port Mann and the Patullo replacements via toll.<br /> <br />The feds are planning on replacing the Champlain Bridge (Montréal) <br /> <br /> Other Montréal bridges; Victoria Bridge built by Grand Trunk Rail, now owned by the feds. <br /><br />Jacques Cartier Bridge was tolled then removed and a voluntary system put in place that gathered more money than the tolls. <br /><br />Diefenbaker wanted an inquiry into that but the Grits made a lot of noise and that idea was shut down.<br /><br />If my old memory banks are still working properly…..<br /><br />Maybe that has something to do with those bridges going over the St Lawrence Seaway, not sure really.<br /><br />But the Port Mann is part of the 401.<br /><br />I will vote no to the referendum.<br /><br /> I know of no one who will vote different than that.<br />dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-70745272037028429242015-01-10T13:24:45.962-08:002015-01-10T13:24:45.962-08:00Dinknut...It`s called graft...

Tieleman explained on CKNW that there is an easy solution: ignore it.<br />- See more at: http://northerninsights.blogspot.ca/2014/12/why-we-should-give-even-more-money-to.html#sthash.7vwy1mn9.dpuf<br /><br />___________<br /><br />And here was my comment on that post Dan..<br /><br />__________<br />Grant GDecember 19, 2014 at 7:13 PM<br /><br />Bill Tieleman has vested interests?....Someone is paying him to spin.<br /><br />I heard Bill on CKNW today, he was less than truthful....In fact I believe he lied his face off.<br /><br />Bill T stated that this 0.5 sales tax increase was to fund increased skytrains, increased buses, road improvements and the Putella bridge replacement...But that can`t be true...Sales tax increase will raise only $2.5 billion over 10 years..<br /><br />The Puttella bridge replacement is a $1.5 billion dollars cost by itself....Surrey rapid transit(LRT) is an extimated $1.7 billion dollars..<br /><br />We are already up to $3.7 billion....Buses, more skytrain...road improvements $$$?.....UBC subway, an estimate $2.7 billion dollars all by itself..<br /><br />Translink needs to get monies for specifically costed projects...as in...Here`s an example...Transklink needs $71 million dollars for a new PA system and neon light signs to inform the public...<br /><br />Translink needs X $dollars for the Puttella bridge...Yes or no...<br /><br />Translink, and the mayors are lying to the public, this sales tax is only a foot in the door funding tool...Translink and mayors have stated that road pricing is coming, car insurance levy is coming and probably more property tax increases..<br /><br />I`m voting no....The recent Seattle referendum for transit funding was a success...However..Seattle transit asked for a 1/10 th of a %percent sales tax increase, the goal was to raise $65 million for more specified buses...It was not a blank cheque..<br /><br />Also...Translink was given the puttella bridge by the BC Government....Translink is responsible for paying for a replacement, but....It has already been stated by the mayors that a new puttella bridge will be a tolled bridge...<br /><br />So what you are looking at is a double dip...Sales tax money will be used to pay for the puttella replacement and the BC Government WILL be making it a toll bridge, leaving the Alex Fraser bridge as the free untolled alternate crossing..<br /><br />I believe Bill T is getting a big cash bonus if a yes vote wins the day....<br /><br />Maybe some media personality or journalist should ask Bill T that exact question...<br /><br />How large will your cash bonus be Bill T if a yes vote wins the day on plebiscite 2015?<br /><br />I`m voting no..and no argument will change my mind.<br />- See more at:

Bill Tieleman was up to no good...<br /><br />He lied on CKNW radio, he`s not telling the truth, he`s spinning and twisting the data ...Bill Tieleman has been lying his face off about Translink..<br /><br />That`s when I knew Bill Tieleman had money on the line..<br /><br />Bill T has turned into a scab..<br /><br />I see Bill T showed his face over at Laila`s yuile`s site..<br /><br />Bill T knows he is in complete conflict..<br /><br />His response to Bob Mackin`s post(you can read it at Mackin`s weblink)..<br /><br />Bill T is stating he`s a good business man, that`s why he searching out Translink contracts..<br /><br />Not fucking good enough Bill Tieleman...You have to make a choice, go for Translink contracts or lead the yes vote..<br /><br />You can`t do both Bill!..You pathetic conflicted idiot..<br /><br />Here`s a newsflash Bill Tieleman..<br /><br />Every time you make appearances on CKNW callers will state these facts, tell of your conflict..<br /><br />You Bill Tieleman are now a liability for the Yes Vote..<br /><br />Bill Good must have turned his brain to mush with wine..<br /><br />Go to hell Bill Tieleman..<br /><br />You cost the BC NDP the last election, ...Ian(above commenter)is correct..<br /><br />Bill Tieleman abetted Adrian Dix`s filled-with-fraud-leadership campaign..<br /><br />As a result of Tieleman we have BC Liberals in power..<br

Two outstanding posts in one day.<br /> I at a loss to comment on even one - you have said it all.<br /><br /> Even while I chortle of Chrispy's LNG pratfall, in the back of my mind I'm somewhat concerned as to where this is taking our economy. I understand a great many Alberta bound tradespeople will be heading back here to find the mining jobs (all 100,000 of them!) have been filled by non tax paying TFWs.<br /> I've got a great many concerns, but you've managed to address most of them, and I'm not a happy camper.<br /> Must go back and re-read your posts, and add to my anguish.
