Well nothing has changed. Christy Clark can match Campbell, lie for lie. <br /><br />Besides which, the Campbell/Clark BC Liberals, work for Harper. All of them are accused of, cheating to win.<br /><br />Christy's job action plan, is identical to Harper's, she doesn't have one either. What resource jobs there are, aren't for the citizens of BC.<br /><br />We all know there is a glut of NG. We all know, Christy lied her face off, promising jobs that don't exist and never will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-33325494530365541302014-04-23T11:03:29.705-07:002014-04-23T11:03:29.705-07:00Natural gas can be used for heating, cooking, tran...Natural gas can be used for heating, cooking, transportation, power generation, etc.<br /><br />If BC has lots of natural gas, surely we can make good use of it right here in BC.<br /><br />Or we can just give it away for nothing.Hughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-655836446118529892014-04-23T05:12:44.993-07:002014-04-23T05:12:44.993-07:00So if I may, let me re-print what I think are the ...So if I may, let me re-print what I think are the the main points: <br /><br />>>>><br />"Here it comes folks, cknw is so stupid, they don`t even realize what they aired on their station...CKNW thought it was useful, it wasn`t, it was a shot across the bow from CAPP..<br /><br />First off, CAPP wants the LNG industry, meaning the plant propossls to NOT have to go through an environmental review, Mary Polak and the BC Liberals have NOT officially rescinded that hideous order in council that ,made LNG facilities exempt from environmental assesments..<br /><br />Also, Dave Colliers`s code words<br /><br />"provided we establish a liquefied natural gas industry on the West Coast that can compete with the global LNG market"<br /><br />That is code for what Jack Mintz wrote, ..Mintz(who is the on the board of directors for Imperial oil)wrote that the province of B.C. has no legal authority to tax LNG twice, meaning the only tax regime that is acceptable to the LNG industry is the B.C. royalty scheme where the resource os taxed at the wellhead and the wellhead only..meaning it doesn`t matter WHAT any LNG plant sells the resource FOR in Asia or Japan those export revenues are off limits." <br /><br /><<<<<br /><br />Oh, how right you are. Big Oil is angling for a process free of environmental considerations and they have paid to have the bc liberals clear that way for them. <br /><br />As well, I completely concur that the big oil/gas boys are only going to go ahead if the gas is taxed at the extraction stage, and very minimally at that. The idea that we the people are going to see any of their profit margin is laughable. So you can expect gassy coleman to try giving them eveything they want in this regard. My suggestion is that we extract, refine, and use it to lower the energy costs for our own economic activity. <br /><br />Now the only thing that i would beg to differ on is that claim that cknw didn't know what it was airing. <br /><br />Although we generally find 'nw whipping out a cloth to willingly shine the government's apples, being as they are the administrative arm of the ruling class that calls the shots for both of these two groups of souled-out bandits; in this instance, 'nw is revealing who really calls the shots, namely big oil/money, by letting the real bosses have their say even at the the expense of the government, because it is merely representing the public interest in this particular process, and that's nothing either party cares much about behind closed doors. <br /><br />Put another way, Big Oil and the One Bank own both the bc liberals and 'nw; and when business gets serious, 'nw knows which side to take, and it isn't that of the public or the government pretending to act on our behalf, it's big oil and big money. No doubt the bc liberals will be well aware of the real agenda and will tacitly deal with being played by 'nw. None of them will take it personally because the money will be flowing for those who play along. <br /><br />By the way, there's a lady chief up the coast who's showing some really courage in opposition to that little polakian legislative legerdemain letting the sweet gas projects slide by without an environmental review. If only we had a few more like her, then maybe we would stand a chance against these friggin' greed mongers and their "G"reat work. <br /><br />CheersJon Ghunnoreply@blogger.com
