Campbell has stolen from this province, everything he lays his hands on, is sold for his personal benefit and his business buddies. His 53% wage hike, and, his $2 million per year pension, says it all. I am very serious, when I say, Campbell needs a mental evaluation. Normal, decent people don't behave the way Campbell does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-47473970129043793902010-08-08T14:25:39.213-07:002010-08-08T14:25:39.213-07:00Thanks for that info Cheryl.

Recall in the Fall is a reality, although we probably won't be able to actually start until the New Year, we can do all the prep work and be ready to go.<br /><br />Besides Fight HST, keep your eyes on recallinthefall.net, as he is tracking all the recall campaigns being planned.<br /><br />Strengthened by the latest Angus Reid poll I think even the Lieberals can see that they are doomed and they can do nothing now to save themselves!

The article was about the cost of the "FightHST Initiative" and basically stated that the funding is drying up.<br /><br />For those that haven't done so yet, you can donate to the cause by going to "FightHST.com" and click on the donate banner. Democracy can be costly, and this fight is the closest thing to democracy we've encountered in many years.<br /><br />The pro-HST crowd have very deep pockets and can easily fund their side of the equation. I also suspect that businesses that help fund them get to deduct their contributions from their profits and therefore lowering the amount of income tax they pay even more, or increase the cost of their goods or services to cover their expenditure. The pro-HST government is even better funded because they have access to our tax dollars.<br /><br />FightHST is really just a grassroots initiative that has expenses and can only continue with financial support from any of us that can give. I am not formally a part of the anti-HST group nor one of the many valiant group of people that gave up their precious time collecting signatures, just a concerned citizen. As such I have donated what I can and urge those that mirror me do the same. We are playing against a stacked deck and must do whatever is in our power to succeed.<br /><br />CamCrankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-31972636429164448242010-08-06T15:58:28.224-07:002010-08-06T15:58:28.224-07:00Mr. Winters of the chamber of commerce...Hocstein ...Mr. Winters of the chamber of commerce...Hocstein and others are suing the Zalm petition....<br /><br />Meet Joe Avery....The best constitutional lawyer in Canada....Big business will lose the challenge....<br /><br />The HST is illegal....It was brought in through a fiat, it hasn`t been voted on...<br /><br />As it stands the HST is an illegal tax....All monies collected will have to be returned until .........<br /><br />Until the HST is ratified by a vote in the Provincial legislature......<br /><br />Without a ratification vote the tax is null and void......<br /><br />Can you imagine....Gordon Campbell could enact any law/tax/rule through office fiat, there would be no need for a vote or Government.....<br /><br />That is why Gordon Campbell will lose the constitutional battle......Gordon Campbell knows this....<br /><br />But to have a vote he will have to call the house back this fall.......<br /><br />And with Campbell already on suicide watch.....<br /><br />The BC Liberals are dead already, like the NPA....They are dead, dead, dead.....<br /><br />No Dianne Watts, Carole Taylor...The HST has killed our economy.....<br /><br />Lastly, keep buying for cash....Go to small retailors...Ask for no bill...No cash....<br /><br />If they refuse walk out...Meanwhile "Recall in the Fall".....is coming fast.Grant Ghttp://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-4440352641102708142010-08-06T15:40:06.610-07:002010-08-06T15:40:06.610-07:00Sorry people, this is off topic.

Now, big business, is actually taking the little guy to court.<br /><br />I saw, on TV, the Federal House passed a motion to give, banks, large corporations, gas and oil companies, billions of dollars, of the tax payers money. They also get, huge tax reductions, and now they are squealing for the HST as well.<br /><br />Has anyone heard about this? What can big business, actually do, are we really under threat, of this happening? Big business, is a bottomless pit of greed. BC has the highest number of children living in poverty. Big business, should be ashamed of themselves, for making that problem worse. Where the provincial budget taxes don't get you, the HST does.<br /><br />Rather than lowering prices, big chains prices, went sky high, just before the HST was due. I am having to buy, through the underground. One chicken at,Save on Foods was $15.10. I bought a huge chicken, for $6,50, through the underground. As a senior, on a fixed income, I just can't afford, big chain prices.<br /><br />I don't know much about, businesses going to court, to force tax payers, to support them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-85183696149798695132010-08-06T14:56:36.221-07:002010-08-06T14:56:36.221-07:00I don`t need to Cut Alex G Tsakumis down to size, ...I don`t need to Cut Alex G Tsakumis down to size, he`s a fat little homophobic hating frog who has been bested by us at The Straight Goods over and over again....<br /><br />He`s mad that Dianne Watts and Carloe Taylor are out for leadership of the BC Liberals....<br /><br />I called AGT out on that one months ago...I also bested AGT on John Les..Kash Heed..Bill Bennett and every other story....<br /><br />AGT (The Fart Catcher).......A day late and a dollar short....<br /><br />When the guilty or a the story makers cut a fart...<br /><br />They have left the room and are long gone leaving AGT to the smell....<br /><br />AGT should stick to gay bashing and looking for leads in garbage cans!<br /><br />CheersGrant Ghttp://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-47628925803141857342010-08-06T10:30:18.360-07:002010-08-06T10:30:18.360-07:00Check out Ron Cantelons letter to the editor in th...Check out Ron Cantelons letter to the editor in the Nanaimo News Bulletin dated Aug 5th.

Start with negative comments on an issue, then go on to make out that it is not a problem and highly overrated as one by the public. The story was about the HST in BC and ON and the effect on the restaurant industry. How business was down a lot and less tips and shifts for workers. Layoffs coming soon. Then they go on to find some restaurants where their business is up 32% over last year!. Then they found another one. Wow, things are not as bad as everyone thinks. It is just a temporary blip, just like the government said. We will all get over it and spend just as much money as ever! <br /><br />No point in watching CTV anymore.

He has transferred most of B.C.'s assets to himself, his corporate buddies and organized crime, the same way him and his partner in crime, Harper, have implemented the HST, a transfer tax from corporates to the B.C. taxpayers, 12% this year, 20% next year. Not a hard job for Campbell to do with a corrupt, absolutely corrupt, media in bed with him. He even outdid his wildest dreams and got invited by Rockafeller to the Bilderberg Group annual hideaway. Poor little slime is too stupid to see that he will end up a peon when only 2% of the population controls all the wealth. Him and his mob belong in jail.<br /><br />This province desparately needs a left-left-centre LEADER. We have to start planning now for the next election. We're off to Vancouver on Sunday.
