More Bad News For Christy Clark, Latest Angus Reid Poll

Well, wasn`t that interesting, first off, the cutting edge of the ledge show featuring Baldrey, Good and palmer after the radio debate, they only took four calls for the hour, one call praising Jane Sterk, one call from Ron who talked oil tankers in the harbour as a bad idea, and two calls bashing the NDP..

First off, in the last few days the media has been working in tandem to paint Adrian Dix as the party of no, that was debunked here yesterday, today the three stooges went a different direction, yes Palmer and Good continued on the NDP against development theme, however, they added a new meme, they in a coordinated effort tried to pump up Jane Sterk, the reason is obvious, BC Liberal and or BC Conservative voters aren`t Green Party voters, but some NDP voters are willing to consider the Green party vote, this was a three stooge curve ball toss, an attempt to drive votes from the NDP to the Green Party...It was sooooo obvious..

The Green party have no budget, their platform is based on mere platitudes, they aren`t credible, and yes, the Green Party goals are laudable..

The Cutting Edge of the Ledge show following the debate, perhaps you wondered why I mentioned how many calls they let through during the hour, I have it on good authority that their phone lines lit up, however, the calls were anti-Christy Clark, her lies about a balanced budget, calls about Christy Clark blathering about the bond rating agencies "code talk"..A code that apparently only Christy can decipher...And dozens of calls came in wanting to talk about how rude and negative in tone Christy Clark was..

CKNW is still playing their games..

Last night at Gilmore Community Gym in North Burnaby there was an all candidates debate, NDP`s Janet Routledge was there, Richard Lee the incumbent BC Liberal was there(incumbent since 2001) Green party candidate was there and a BC Conservative candidate was there..

I asked the second question, yes, it was about oil and pipelines, the first question was on Kinder Morgan...

Let me be crystal clear, Kinder Morgan and Enbridge was the issue, number one issue by a mile, it dominated, BC Conservative member endorsed the pipeline proposals, Green candidate opposed all resource development, Richard Lee blathered about Christy Clark`s five key conditions that must be met before they endorse, Janet Routledge echoed Adrian Dix in not wanting increased oil tanker traffic in Vancouver harbour and the outright opposition to Enbridge..

The hundred people there were hostile towards Richard Lee, the hundred people there were almost all absolutely elated with Janet Routledge`s answers, she was clear, well spoken and concise..Janet Routledge got roaring rounds of applause after every answer, Richard Lee was literally booed out of the gym, BC Conservatives will garner nothing in the way of votes in Burnaby with their party stance on pipelines..

In a nutshell, Richard Lee is toast in North Burnaby...North Burnaby is going big-time orange..And even in driving around North Burnaby, Richard Lee signs are an endangered species, only Janet Routledge signs can be found..


There is a new Angus Reid poll out, the first poll since Christy`s televised infomercial..

I said this two years ago, this election, the number one issue is pipeline and oil, the people have spoken, they don`t want Enbridge or Kinder Morgan expansion..

This election is over, and as for the Federal election, Stephen Harper`s obsession with tar oil and pipelines will cost him and his party power.
