The treachery of those two monsters, has literally destroyed BC. <br /><br />CSIS warned of China's huge inroads into Canada. BC was specifically mentioned because, Campbell had already given much of BC to Communist China. Our mines, mills and our raw logs. Nor, does Christy Clark run this province? Christy is merely a mouthpiece for Harper.<br /><br />Petro-China put in a bid to, *help* build the Enbridge pipeline. Christy had also lied to the BC citizens about that. There is to be a, floating refinery near Kitimat BC. How is the oil to get to, Christy and Blacks refinery?<br /><br />None of BC's vast natural resources nor resource jobs, are for the people of BC. Christy also lied about the jobs for BC people, for the construction of the LNG plants. <br /><br />There are thousands of Chinese coming over for, Harper's Northern BC mining plan.<br /><br />Then there is this?<br />Harper signs deal with, the Communist China Army.<br />August 27/2013<br />creekside1.blogspot.com <br /><br />True or not, I don't know?

And if their productivity is 1/6 of Australia it just goes to show you the Aussies work harder. Maybe if the South Koreans earned a decent wage they'd work as hard as the Aussies.<br /><br />Something that's bothering me, and you never touched on, is that Enbridge (our favourite Pipeliner) is proposing to raise natural gas prices in Ontario BY FORTY PERCENT! Why this huge increase you ask? BECAUSE OF A SHORTAGE OF NATURAL GAS DUE TO THE COLD WINTER!!!!<br /><br />WHAT!!! Here we have GLOBAL WARMING and there is a shortage of gas! (What if we had global cooling?)<br /><br />Soooo, we have a shortage of natural gas. Why in the world would we consider giving it away then? Wouldn't that create a greater shortage?<br /><br />And why, as you point out, would we PAY to have it taken away?<br /><br />Maybe Chrispy is Alice in Wonderland in disguise.John's Aghastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-14352487733475527672014-03-15T23:53:35.624-07:002014-03-15T23:53:35.624-07:00John Horgan will make an excellent leader for the ...John Horgan will make an excellent leader for the NDP.<br /><br />Elwood, those other publications can`t handle the hard truth..<br /><br />And there is no accounting for taste..<br /><br />CheersGrant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-58903855246392563632014-03-15T21:02:13.824-07:002014-03-15T21:02:13.824-07:00Grant, you're analysis and writing calibre jus...Grant, you're analysis and writing calibre just continues to increase exponentially over time!
