Christy Clark Listened to Bob Plecas`s Advice, "Force Teachers To strike and Legislate Them Back To Work" to Increase Polling Numbers

Almost everyone is in agreement that the BC Liberals under Christy Clark`s directive wanted to provoke a strike with teachers for political gain, Judge Griffith said as much, court transcript proves this was true...The few exceptions in the public`s majority opinion on this matter, come from Keith Baldrey(The Balderdasher) and Michael Smyth(British Columbia`s laziest, inept and most unqualified political writer) also know as Michael looking for a government patronage appointment Smyth..

First off, we all know that Christy Clark isn`t very smart, low IQ, barely speaks coherent English and a school dropout,......That begs the question, who thought up this provoking a teacher`s strike strategy..?

Before I reveal the source of Christy Clark`s inspiration we need to name this latest BC Liberal scandal...

My only suggestion so far..

"Christy Clark`s Families First, Pink Shirt Poke A Sharp Stick In Teacher`s EyeGate.....

(Yes, it is a little longish)

This scheme to attack teachers and force them out was hatched when Christy Clark was polling badly, and at a time when John Cummins and the BC Conservative party was virtually polling even with BC Liberals...

Many plots were started, BC Liberals infiltrated Cummins Conservative party and started muckraking, Baldrey, Smyth and other BC Liberal media enablers were in the plot to tarnish John Cummins....And out from under his rock Bob Plecas slithered and ...

And a op-ed article appeared in the Vancouver Sun March 15th/2012, it was written by Bob Plecas, I still have the link address to his article, although the Vancouver Sun at the behest of the BC Liberal Government removed the actual article from the link..

Here is that link address..

Bob Plecas in his op-ed article had several suggestions for Christy Clark as to how and turn her polling numbers around....Here is what Bob Plecas wrote..and I have Bob Plecas`s exact quotes from that article..

_______


"Can Clark rebuild the centre-right coalition?

The answer is yes. There are three reasons.

1. She is a great communicator.

2. The spotlight has not shone on Cummins, and some of his views, on homosexuality and first nations, appear under close scrutiny to be too extreme right-wing.

3. Dix has past issues and strong ideologies that are also not representative of the majority of British Columbians, and these also have not been widely discussed. More power to Dix's charm offensive - his strategy is working.

What are Clark's options?

 

1. Continue down the path she is on. That is a sure path to opposition.

2. Go to Cummins and form a coalition. With the egos involved, that is unlikely.

3. Implement policy initiatives to rebuild the centre-right coalition.
What are examples of policy options that lend themselves to rebuilding the coalition?

1. The Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. Demand Alberta share the revenue from the pipeline between the oilsands and Kitimat as a condition for B.C.'s support. As proposed, Alberta would gain all the benefits, while B.C. takes all the risk. Royalty splitting would have B.C. dedicate its share towards safety, first nations and com-munities in the north. The NDP will have to oppose, or split their party.

2. Legislate a two-year tax freeze on the province and municipalities. The NDP can announce targeted tax increases all it wants.

3. Legislate to end the teachers' dispute. Stand on the side of students and parents, let the NDP stand with the teachers' union.

4. Legislate the end to the current public sector pension plan for MLAs and staff, and create a new plan, based on a private-sector model, for new hires and newly elected.

5. Terminate all bonuses for senior executives in the entire public sector. This analysis points a clear direction for Clark to remain in power. Move to the right; provide voters with a choice, through aggressive, controversial policy and legislative action - basically, attracting Conservatives back to the centre-right coalition. None of these ideas is so right-wing as to lose the centre.
Clark could win again, but bold action is required.
Bob Plecas is a former deputy minister in several previous B.C. governments and ministries."

I wrote an article at that time highlighting the audacity of Bob Plecas, and how he was a partisan hypocrite.

And here is the smoking gun proof, Bob Plecas advised Christy Clark in his op-ed special advice to Christy Clark article in March of 2012 placed in the Vancouver Sun...

"3. Legislate to end the teachers' dispute. Stand on the side of students and parents, let the NDP stand with the teachers' union.".......written by Bob Plecas

There was one problem with Bob Plecas`s advice as to legislating the teachers back to work...

The Teachers and the BCTF were not on strike, in order to adhere to Bob Plecas`s advice the Government had to force the teachers to strike!

Christy Clark, Politics of Hate

Pat Bell, another bold-faced lying BC Liberal, yes you Pat Bell..You lie with ease, a quality honed and perfected and taught to all BC Liberals by the masters of lies, those masters being Gordon Campbell and Michael Campbell....

Can you imagine Pat Bell and Christy Clucking Clark telling the voters of BC that the name BC Place was "Iconic"..A brazen lie..of course that lie didn`t last very long before Christy promoted a new lie...

The story on the BC Place naming scandal went down like this...Bell Canada threatened Christy Clark BC Liberals thusly...and I quote...

"If you want photo-ops during the next provincial election with star players of the Vancouver White caps promoting your team Christy Clark you will cancel the Telus stadium naming deal"

That is what was said, there was no mincing words, in fact there was explicit language used by the Whitecaps and Bell Canada`s upper brass that not only would they snub all BC Liberals but actually endorse the NDP and bring up the BC Liberal 2009 election promise where they promised Delta and the Whitecaps an elaborate soccer center, an election promise that was vanquished soon after Campbell won his third term, as one high official of the Whitecaps stated ...

"We haven`t forgot that broken promise"

And just what was that broken promise, and which BC Liberal was promoted by the Whitecaps, well, actually it was all BC Liberals but in particular it was Wally Oppal and a promised soccer center in Delta...But as you know, Wally Oppal lost and the Delta soccer center was scrapped!..

At the below video link is Bobby Lennarduzzi, Wally Oppal, Gordon  Campbell making a multi-million dollars promise to the voters of Delta just days before the 2009 election promising a world-class soccer center in Delta....


http://www.bcdailybuzz.com/media/2805/Liberals_promise_funds_for_soccer_centre/

And guess what, as soon as the 2009 provincial election was over and Wally Oppal wasn`t elected but sent out to the woodshed, the promised multi-million dollar soccer center in Delta was canceled, in other words Bob Lennerduzzi and the Whitecaps were used and abused and tossed aside like dirty ass-wipe tissue!..

The Vancouver Sun and Province have removed all stories related to the 2009 election and Whitecaps scandal involving Delta and the BC Liberals..

These links are dead..

http://www.vancouversun.com/Liberals+promise+million+soccer+centre+Delta/1558230/story.html


 http://www.theprovince.com/news/Plug+pulled+Whitecaps+Delta+training+centre+plans/2491243/story.html

This story is meant to highlight that Christy Clark and the BC Liberals only know  the "Politics of Hate"

Christy Clark pissed away $50 million public tax dollars ($40 million for naming rights and $10  million in wireless technology Telus installed at BC Place) for the soul purpose of securing photo op for the 2013 election featuring her and prominent Whitecap players ....Politics of hate, that is all Christy Clark has left to offer.

All these haters come crawling out of the woodwork, Bob Plecas in his op-ed piece that ran in the Vancouver Sun...What was Bob Plecas`s advice to Christy Clark...Let me remind you of what Plecas advised,

"Can Clark rebuild the centre-right coalition?
The answer is yes. There are three reasons.
1. She is a great communicator. 2. The spotlight has not shone on Cummins, and some of his views, on homosexuality and first nations, appear under close scrutiny to be too extreme right-wing.

___________________________

 So Hocstein runs an ad to remind people of Memo-gate from the 90`s...Adrian Dix has been elected twice since then, you see folks this is all the BC Liberals have...Hate, divide, wedge issues and blatant lies, blatant lies that BC`s media lets slide....

It doesn`t matter, Christy Clark is finished,. the BC Liberals are dead and no amount of dirty politics will work....

The teachers debate and Bill 22......Propaganda unleashed, let me be perfectly clear, the teachers and the BCTF came into their new agreement talks with outlandish demands, however, the BCTF shot for the moon hoping in reality to receive a few crumbs, CKNW, Bill Good, and others like Jon Ferry really did a real hatchet job on the teachers and unfortunately there are so many stunned idiots who believe the propaganda, people without brains, people who need to be led around on a leash, people like....BC Liberal voters and Conservatives, uneducated non-thinkers...

The teachers won a supreme court battle over classroom sizes and composition..The court ruled that Christy Clark`s Bill 28 and 29 were illegal, the courts agreed..

Last year the court finally ruled against Christy Clark`s hatred of teachers bills..

______________________________________________


"VICTORIA – The B.C. government will work with the B.C. Teachers' Federation rather than continue a court battle over control of class size and special needs support in public schools, Education Minister George Abbott said Thursday.

The government has been studying a ruling two weeks ago from the B.C. Supreme Court, which said the government infringed on teachers' constitutional right to bargain with its 2002 legislation that removed class size and special needs support levels from the union contract.
Abbott said the government's legal advice was not to appeal the ruling, because of a landmark 2007 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that struck down similar legislation altering health care support workers' union contracts.

In the health care case, Canada's highest court extended the constitutional right to freedom of association to include collective bargaining for the first time.

In the school case, Justice Susan Griffin of the B.C. Supreme Court gave the B.C. government a year to work out an alternative to the 2002 legislation.
The BCTF has filed thousands of union grievances over class sizes and the number of students with special needs in classrooms around the province, as well as pursuing the issue in court.

Abbott said he called BCTF president Susan Lambert and B.C. School Trustees Association president Michael McEvoy to tell them he wants to see a negotiated solution.

But Abbott acknowledged that the government could end up legislating new rules if negotiations don't produce a deal.


After Griffin's court decision, the BCTF estimated that the government would have to add $275 million to the education ministry budget to reduce class sizes and provide support staff to restore conditions from 2002."

 Richmond Review - B.C. won't appeal class size ruling - Mobile Edition

___________________________________________

Now, here`s the deal, Christy Clark hated her father who was a teacher,  she quit S-F-U after being caught cheating on student council elections, Christy Clark screamed and yelled and threatened law suits against S-F-U but after realizing her antics were falling on deaf ears she up and quit, but to this day her hatred of her father and all teachers has never abated, she took great pleasure in writing illegal bills 28 and 29 that stripped out worker`s right and classroom size and composition..

So when the Supreme court ruled against the BC Liberal Government and struck down Christy`s illegal bills the teachers celebrated as if they won....

But what did they win, WCB(Worksafe BC)....Gordon Campbell corrupted that agency in 2002 as well, WCB has screwed over 1000`s of seriously injured workers, workers with life-changing injuries, these workers take their grievances to the Appeal board or WCAT....And many workers win their appeals at WCAT, but they never really win, for what WCAT(Workers Compensation Appeal`s Tribune) does is this...They(WCAT) send the ruling back to the injured worker`s case manager and that is when the games begin, the case manager tweaks his/her decision and screw the injured worker all over again, each round of the flawed decision made by case managers take roughly 3 years to play out,  they eventually wear down and bankrupt injured workers, with no money coming in.......Playing this criminal decision, appeal, tweak and re-do game until either the injured worker dies, commits suicide or gives up broke...Delay, Deny, Defend, that is WCB`s motto....

What I`m trying to say is this, the teachers thought they won in the Supreme court but, but they`re dealing with a corrupt Government that takes all it`s advice, both legal and political from tired old Socred hacks like Bobby Plecas or from the Fraser institute editorial board that hides behind the Vancouver Sun moniker.....

For after the Supreme court ruling the teachers thought they had won Fazil Mihlar wrote an editorial in the Vancouver Sun that did 2 things, Fazil Mihlar wrote that the BCTF and the teachers didn`t win anything, they didn`t win a say in classroom size or composition, .....

Infact I was so outraged I wrote a post about Fazil Mihlar`s editorial, I read the editorial and it spoke in clear terms, what the Vancouver Sun told the Christy Clark Government through the editorial was this....

You did not break the law BC Liberals....You DO NOT have to change classroom size...you DO NOT have to change classroom composition...You don`t have to do anything but.....

"But consult", the Vancouver Sun editorial made the legal argument which Christy Clark has followed to the tee....Vancouver Sun told the BC Government that the supreme court ruling had nothing to do with with classroom size or composition ...Fazil Kihlar advised the BC Government that all they have to do is consult!!!!!!...Meaning the BC Government can impose any class size or composition it see`s fit as long as they do one thing...Consult...

Bill 22 has the exact same language as bills 28 and 29 that were ruled illegal, in other words the BC Liberals will ram through bill 22 knowing full well the bill will be tossed out AGAIN in the Supreme court...

Christy Clark only knows the politics of hate, CKNW is bleeding listeners, listeners are leaving in droves for one reason...CKNW is controlled by BC Liberal insiders...Bill Good has sunk to levels so low, Sean Leslie has had a BC Liberal brand stamped on his ass...2 weeks ago Bill Good and the cutting ledge show, the entire show Billy Good only attacked teachers, there was no other subject, only teachers, it`s the first time in CKNW history where the cutting edge of the ledge show only touched one item...I phoned up Bill Good`s producer and told her to tell Bill Good to move on, for the last month Billy Good has sounded like Christy Clark when she was on air railing against teachers every single day....Christy Clark, Phil Hocstein, Bill Good and his fellow BC Liberal stooges are so desperate they are prepared to throw their last bit of credibility out the window to save their place at the public trough..

CKNW are about to lose John Macolm over his refusal to pimp Christy Clark...Simi Sara has been called into her bosses office as well, pressure is being put on Simi Sara to get on board or be prepared to be unemployed...

Such a shame that these quality people are being asked to dumb it down to Christy Clark`s level or be removed from the airwaves..

Anyway....Here are some highlights from that Fazil Mihlar editorial that I wrote about...My post was called..
______________________________________________

Vancouver Sun, Home of yellow Journalism II "

I would like to show you a couple of the key lines and paragraphs in the garbage Vancouver Sun editorial.
__________________________________

"It should be noted that this ruling was based on a Supreme Court of Canada decision that did not exist at the time the offending legislation was enacted. The legislation was part of a restructuring of government and of provincial labour laws that the Liberals undertook when then premier Gordon Campbell took power in 2001"

"In 2007, in response to a challenge by the Hospital Employees' Union to Bill 29, similar legislation that negated the contract provisions, the Supreme Court of Canada made a 180-degree turn on its own earlier rulings and recognized that collective bargaining is protected as a charter right under freedom of association"

"That said, the government made a mistake in refusing to discuss what it was planning with teachers before bringing in the legislation, which Judge Griffin ruled was much more sweeping than needed to accomplish the province's stated goal of optimum allocation of resources to schools."

"That omission, the judge noted, was taken by teachers as evidence of a lack of respect by the government for their contribution to the education system".

And the next paragraph in that pathetic editorial goes right too the meat of the author`s intent, trouble making!

"  Looking ahead, it's important to recognize what the ruling does and does not do. It does not give teachers the right to impose their collective view on class size and other workplace issues. What it does is restore their right to bring such issues to the bargaining table. What emerges is still up to negotiation. This ruling is about process, not outcome"

And I have a couple more juicy lines from the bullcrap editorial to share with you.

" So the government should and will still have the right and responsibility to set the curriculum, set standards and to control costs in the public school system"

Well well well, the Vancouver Sun editorial board has given both Christy Clark and the BC Government some crappy legal advice, the gist of what this asshole is saying is....The Government can do whatever the hell it wants as long as they consult stakeholders first, it`s not about the outcome it`s about the "Process" snip.

That is one sick and twisted editorial, beware teachers, Christy Clark`s bosses have again given her and the BC Liberals their marching orders.

I was the only one in the Province who wrote about that Vancouver Sun editorial and what it meant to the teachers, it meant more worker hating games being employed by Christy Clark....

I would let you read the editorial itself but like so-many Vancouver Sun stories, they produce such biased garbage they are too ashamed to leave the story intact, ..Here`s the dead link to Fazil Mihlars now deleted legal advice to school drop-out Christy Clark.

Christy Clark never had any intention of lowering class sizes or changing class composition for the better, this battle has always been about destroying public education and promoting private for profit schooling, ...

Christy Clark never completed any of her education, she quit S-F-U, she gave up after producing failing grades from every school she ever attended, her father gave up trying to educate Christy..

Now we have the Queen of hatred pretending to be premier and unless the BC Government puts up lights and a brass pole in the BC Legislature we will never see Christy Clark again after May/2013..

You want hatred Christy, you are about to see 85 ridings of hatred!
