Well what's going to happen to the general revenue increase ,will it go to win voter sympathy in certain ridings ? <br /> Instead of Clark's "profit" why not have the system go non profit and lower user rates ,therefor the vaunted user pay concept would hold. Why force money out of the users to supplement general revenue.<br /> Notice the user pay concept is rarely spoken about by the party.<br /> MrMclean made out well , some would say " you would do the same if you were him."

My girlfriend believed that there was something odd going on between Campbell and James, but now I have to believe there was, simply because Carole sat on all of the dirty deeds perpetrated on the people of BC and said nothing.<br /><br />I have never voted NDP but I will in the next provincial election, as well as in the next federal election. Federally both the Liberals and the Conservatives are corporately owned and controlled, and therefore they blindly support the corporately driven HST. So if we want fairness for taxpayers, we need to keep both of these parties away from the trough.jwaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423605699053832356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-38625853166338322142011-02-07T19:20:24.237-08:002011-02-07T19:20:24.237-08:00Grant, I want you to know that I am well aware of ...Grant, I want you to know that I am well aware of the time, effort and the great learning curve one must expend in order to get these facts correct and then to understand them. I am a now a disabled welding contractor and had a multi-year fued going with what was then known as the GVRD and through shear dogged determination I was successful each time I had to litigate against them. These are tasks we must do ourselves simply because hiring a Lawyer is far too prohibitive. The cost of Justice is exhorbatant.<br />I love the fact you have everything in writing or on tape. The fact you have taken the time to read and study every item that has come across your desk and with that, you are shielded against Libel and Slander.<br />In my case, however, I attempted, through many letters to the Editor, to draw the GVRD into sueing me for Libel. That way, I could get them in Court, subpeona each one of the dirty rotten liars and get them to either tell the truth or perjure themselves. They never bit because I was never wrong.<br />I long for the day when those in Power are honest and trustworthy. The only person I can see on the horizon is John Horgan. I truly hope that he does not become infested with graft and greed if he becomes our Premier.<br />Keep up the good work Grant.hydr0l1c5https://www.blogger.com/profile/00989792069577547351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-28611203543553527062011-01-14T11:28:56.529-08:002011-01-14T11:28:56.529-08:00I can't wait for the writer of this story to g...I can't wait for the writer of this story to get his clutches on the massive BC Energy Policy Fraud being perpitrated on the Hydro Ratepayers.

And her assertion that we don't need to have a full public inquiry into the whole BC Rail sale, right from the beginning to the end of the joke of the trial, because the government has already dealt with the issue is laughable. All the government has done is tried to sweep the whole sordid affair under the carpet. It will be interesting to hear what she says about BC Rail and the HST tomorrow on Bill Good's show, if he has the intestinal fortitude to conduct a real investigative interview. Something tells me that if either or both issues get mentioned, the response will be short and immediately followed by a commercial break, only to have the subject changed upon resumption.<br /><br />Mike Smyth may not be the best talkshow host or columnist, for that matter, but at least he has been against the HST from day one and has not waivered from that position. I also thing that amongst the MSM that cover provincial politics, he tends to give a more balanced report. That being said, I would have much preferred to have Simi Sara take over from Christy.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-87553803012843143662010-12-12T19:31:00.447-08:002010-12-12T19:31:00.447-08:00Why do so many facebook profile pictures feature a...Why do so many facebook profile pictures feature a Christy Clark photo?

Legislature clips, etc.<br /><br />But when it came to John Horgan’s picture, (I recognised the pic from an interview John had done a day or so earlier about the RoR/ BC Hydro scam)<br />Global used some kind of mid-speech pic of John that was not flattering…… John’s head seemed to be elongated.<br /><br />This was not bad enough for Global though, so they split the scene and took this unflattering pic of John and made one side black and white and the other in colour.<br /><br />Does this mean that John Horgan is two faced in Global’s mind?<br /><br />Or is this like……. an attempt to heavy up the beard of OJ Simpson?<br /><br />All other pics of candidates were normal.<br /><br />There seems to be an effort to leave John completely off the list of late.Parzonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-54055270493789009032010-12-12T11:15:05.280-08:002010-12-12T11:15:05.280-08:00Smyth's article today provides two really good...Smyth's article today provides two really good examples of why NOT to vote for BC Liberals in an upcoming election:<br /><br />1.

I visit your blog several times a day to keep up up on what is happening. You are always truthful, factual, helpful and brilliant. I appreciate all the hard work you put into keeping an eye on things and passing it on to us. Thanks is not a strong enough word to say how very thankful I am.<br /><br />It am also saddened to hear some people have turned yellow on you. I understand that to mean the fact Carole James was long overdue in leaving and should have left gracefully on May 13, 2009. Her final exit was a total disgrace and makes me feel like she was a traitor. I quote Crankypants from your post December 2, 2010, if I may..."I still maintain that there is some agreement between the B.C. Liberal Party and the B.C. NDP Party to stay clear of certain issues"....I too have felt this way for a long time and will always wonder what connection Campbell and James had, not to the betterment of the NDP in my opinion. If the NDP go down I will hold Ms. James directly responsible, shame on her. Her parting comments and obvious rage spoke volumes about the type of person she really was, concerned only with her own ego and extremely selfish. Her parting words against us, the voters and her fellow members make fine fodder for the corrupt B.C. Liberals and the corrupt absolutely corrupt mainstream media.<br /><br />So, with the moving on finally of Ms James, I'm back so let's all work really hard to get rid of the HST and win the next election. It's, I feel, the life or death of the way of life we once had.<br /><br />Stay strong Grant and don't change a thing, we need you to inform us and guide us for a long time to come.<br /><br />Jeanjaydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897581398617875658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-53039314921248998632010-12-11T17:44:56.788-08:002010-12-11T17:44:56.788-08:00Anon at 1:37 -
