Just call me John.<br />I know there are dozens of ideas that could be promoted that would outshine LNG. Ending raw log exports, building our own Ferries, rationing free water, hosting the Olympics (okay, so we already did that).<br />But all these complaints about Ditzy's stupidity do nothing to clean up the problem. Its time to come up with some sensible solutions (can't we ban Gwyn Morgan from Canada, like we did to Conrad Black? ha,ha)If we made NG free to the citizens, instead of the international oil cartels, would that not have an impact on manufacturing, transportation, food costs and general prosperity?<br />Poor Christy, even after attending three (3) universities, she still doesn't get it! As I said before, maybe she should have reconsidered before taking up space - there is a limited opportunity for astronauts with her capability.John's Aghastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-37504678166150651152014-11-14T11:15:03.705-08:002014-11-14T11:15:03.705-08:00I have never seen such blatant corruption in Canad...I have never seen such blatant corruption in Canada especially since, Harper's so called majority. There is no doubt, we are living in very evil times.<br /><br />I agree with anon 4:24, I read the same. Harper called Russia and Putin evil Communists and then he sold Canada to Communist China. Harper still sells arms to Putin. Now Communist China is financing Putin.<br /><br />I certainly recall, Harper and Gordon Campbell's evil treachery, towards the people of BC. Ditzy Christy is merely Harper's mouth piece. All three of them, lied and cheated to win their elections.<br /><br />I don't know who I detest the most? Harper, Gordon Campbell, Christy Clark, Communist China or, Harper's oil and gas robber barons?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-70274654874259922892014-11-14T08:55:48.787-08:002014-11-14T08:55:48.787-08:00@ John Aghast...Sorry Mr. Aghast...Christy decides...@ John Aghast...Sorry Mr. Aghast...Christy decides nothing, makes no decisions, she is but a face...<br /><br />And yes, Christy Clark is that dumb..Decision are being made EnCana, Gyw Morgan...Alberta and the Corporate Harper cons...<br /><br />Ferries running on LNG..Sure, but only new vessels, don`t waste money retrofitting existing fleet..<br /><br />Here`s a novel idea...Let`s build ferries in British Columbia...The best vessels in our fleet are the Spirit Class ferries..Designed and built right here in British Columbia..They out class, out carry, out perform those German tubs by a country mile, that`s why those German built Celebrations routinely remain docked....Spirit Class ferries built right here in B.C.. <br /><br />Imagine that!Grant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-18179707054957154052014-11-14T08:46:16.874-08:002014-11-14T08:46:16.874-08:00Okay!

She was off by a couple of zeroes in her forecasts. But, hey, what's a zero? Nothing!<br />We voted for her (I DID NOT!) and are stuck with the consequences.<br />In the interests of survival and of rescuing something out of the next 3 1/2 years (is it really going to be that long?) we have to gently nudge her out this passion for LNG and direct her attention to something more realistic.<br />I suggested some time ago that she should consider NG to fuel the Ferries, and it appears the new Polish boats will be so equipped (15 years after the Norwegians had implemented the idea). Now, I don't take credit for changing her mind, but if enough, loud criticism of the LNG dream (as has been done so well by Grant and Norm)were to somehow convince her of the changing circumstances, perhaps she could see the merit (she's not THAT dumb!)in using natural gas (NG) domestically. To fuel Railway locomotives (too bad we didn't own BC Rail!), highway trucks and construction equipment (Caterpillar manufactures NG fueled earthmovers). Forget the massive costs to liquefy and barge the explosive stuff, forget the environmental damage it's going to cause.<br />Instead, dwell on all the cost savings, jobs, taxation that a revitalized transportation sector will bring.<br />Chrispy, if you're going to give it away, give it to someone who cares and deserves - the people of British Columbia!

They counter intelligence; they don't add to it. We know what we know today despite von poncer, not on account of him. He, like the rest of his cohorts, bears the countenance of a man who's been bought-off, souled -out, black mailed, and pledge to secrecy outside the masonic gates. They are keepers of the illusion that democracy still works whilst carefully avoiding the truth that an oligarchy runs things around here like we were still a colony existing for the City. <br /><br />Should put all these guys' names in a book somewhere just so we don't forget who-all brought perdition down upon us once we get beyond this nightmare and start sorting it out for a new day.Flecker's Magicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-65952107512098549412014-11-14T04:24:57.600-08:002014-11-14T04:24:57.600-08:00You still think China is friendly.
