NDP in Coorindinated Attack With the VSB Lob Grenade into the Liberal Camp.

Here comes the spin, Gary Mason and Vaughn Palmer get the hysterical jibberish rant award for the day......

Gary Mason and Palmer were mumbling away on how it will take years for the ndp to rebuild, how the dissidents(Faction for democracy) group of thirteen have written off their political futures, Palmer called them lightweights and "neer-do-wells"....Bill Good and Sean Leslie when Carole spoke at 11:00am and announced her resignation sounded almost teary, they ACTED(on radio) like the ndp had just committed suicide but the emotion in their voices(the background pulse of truth)....Was of pure fear and panic.....Oh sure, Bill Good was saying things like who!...Who will lead them, who will lead the flock to an ideal socialist heaven, who will guide the mindless not ready to Govern NDP sheep, the years and years to rebuild....

Oh my, you can`t script it any better than this, the ndp is the same party today as two months ago, except for one thing, we got the darn anchor lifted, think about, 3 or 4 candidates throw their hat in the ring, we bring the limelight back on the NDP and take away the BC Liberal advantage, whether Horgan, Farnsworth, Dix or an outsider comes forward to be leader, the people, the fathers, mothers, average folks wanted a choice besides Carole James and when our new leader gets introduced to British Columbia the people will look hard, real hard at the NDP and see strength, energy, unity, a new direction of Government and the choice will be clear, Government for average folk on one hand and on the other you will have members of Gordon Campbell`s "rat pack", Campbell clones or Christy Cluck Cluck Clark a BC Liberal insider with all that baggage, BC Rail, Basi/Virk...BChydro, BCFerries, Hydro rates, BC Ferry  debenture shell game...School budgets and health care games, leading Canada in child poverty for 8 straight years!  

A baby booming population needs faith in affordable health care and respect of seniors, I have never seen a Government disrespect seniors like these...these Liberals, they won`t trust or find any security in  Kevin Falcon or Christy Clark., heck there is so much baggage where do you start, HST, deficit lies, fudget budget 40 times bigger than the NDP, gag laws, freedom of information, carbon tax.....The attack`s we as a party can level against the BC Liberal`s fiscal record ,with Recall starting,  John Horgan with that quick wit and precision striking, Horgan makes his point, insults the Liberals, cracks a joke and leaves the room before the Liberal even knows he or she had been bettered, smooth like silk..

"I like our chances"

This is grass roots democracy, David Shreck and Reid can whine all they want, the public, real people from corner to corner, rural and urban in this diverse Province wanted Carole out, I made a 100 kilometer trip this morning and talked to about 8 people, everyone was thrilled Carole is gone, one step short of dancing a road-side jig! Carole James would make a great minister, education, children and family  development, .....And friends, did you see the coordinated comeback assault by the Vancouver school board, the superintendent, the trustee and Baccus, what a thing of beauty, perfect timing with potentially 8 leaders going at it! I tip my hat off to you cagy wise folk. They pass a motion to save all the Vancouver schools in danger of closing until 2012.....  Knowing full well that they don`t have the money to financially keep them  open, except on the very short term but they know...We know, the NDP know. the BC Liberals know there will be a snap election and what leader will promise more funding for education(public education) and actually mean it!... Magaret McDiarmid has already fired back at the school board wailing about no more money for education so chop chop chop, close close close........  It won`t be Christy Clark or Kevin Falcon, who would you trust on education.....

`"I like our Chances"


Patrick Kinsella, Ken Dobell, Paul Taylor, ICBC, BC Liberal insiders, a defective way over budget BC place retractable roof, Laila`s  shadow toll story on the sea to sky, yet the Fraser Valley voters will have to pay through the nose  on tolls...One could easily gain groud swell support for "shadow tolls"  for the working stiffs, and or slash the tolls by half...Hmm.....One doesn`t need to look far for a BC Liberal scandal, lie or National shame, Falcon, Clark, Abbott, De Jong(Gordon Campbell didn`t operate alone)....Kash Heed bi-election, Point Grey bi-election, "Recall in the fall"

"I like our chances"

A brand new face, a clear firm speaker, no anger, no nagging,  factual proof of malfeasence and fiscal mismanagement, a new leader who gets the microphone and explains in clear terms that buying hydro high and selling low loses you the farm...  And Fish farms, those damn fish farms, let`s get talking now ......

Look folks, I`m still absorbing all this, but don`t believe Keith Baldrey, Palmer, Les Leyne, Canwest, CKNW, everyone of them are in panic mode, they are attempting to divert the story as a plus for the BC Liberals...Today friends is the first day of a new era, the BC Liberals are done, anchor`s aweigh, full steam ahead,  we took over the spotlight, now lets shine it on those cold, dank Liberal skeleton filled closets.

An Open Letter to All NDP Members

2001......77 BC Liberals and 2 lone NDP members in Victoria, Jenny Kwan and Joy McPhail, fast ferries and a $60 million dollar fudget budget and a once pit bull media reduced the ndp to a mere 2 seats......

I don`t believe any party should have had that much power, Gordon Campbell refused to recognize the lone two ndp members on the other side as official opposition, Campbell feeling embolden acted omnipotent, fired 9000, gifted our BC Rail Line away, removed BC Ferries from scrutiny and used them like an ATM machine,  they call it a private corporation, give BC Ferries a debenture with which BC Ferries use to borrow over $500 million dollars for general revenue, that and notorious bills to strip rights from towns, slowly all freedom of information is being stifled, friends of the premier like Patrick Kinsella being paid from all sides while the BC Political corruption scandal over BC Rail started to brew and fester....BC Hydro was prohibited from building any new power generation all while hundreds of water licenses were granted for pocket change to BC Liberal insiders...

Jenny and Joy fought like pit bulls, having to do estimate debates for every ministry, a corrupt Campbell Government felt untouchable, Gordon Campbell changed early, every promise he made in his election campaign was broken, on expanded gambling, transparancy, open Government, fiscal responsibilty, promises of respecting contracts and not selling assets and Campbell broke all of those and lied from the very git go, ......And yes, Carole James was nominated by Jenny Kwan for leader of the NDP in 2003 and was the right choice going into the 2005 election, .....So much damage was already  done to our province by 2005, hospitals, schools, court houses, prisons, cut, closed, eliminated and the people were mad and Carole James was fresh,  appeared intelligent and honest,  middle of the road sensibilities but she never.....

She never really sparked lightning, the ndp rallied back in 2005 to 32 seats, power  and strength returned to traditional ndp territory, in other words, the BC Liberals showed their face, their tactics, Campbell was no panacea but a omnipotent dictator who set in motion brutal policies and those of us who recognized the danger quickly returned to the ndp and it was the BC Liberals themselves that brought the ndp back to respectable status and not Carole James but never-the-less as a party, as a group Carole James was given the reins for four more years to grow the party.

Cost overruns in the $hundreds of million on the Canada line, $hundreds of millions more on the convention center, BCFerries broke, BC rail still winding it`s way through a now warped  court, election gag laws, freedom of information reduced to a crawl, user fees up, on parks, MSP premiums, carbon tax, Translink digging for billions in property taxes and fees, corruption and cost overruns on everything and...


And as I watched the BC Legislature with the new invigorated 32 members of the NDP, thousands of questions asked on BC Rail, on Translink, on stripping rights from towns, questions on fish farms, questions on everything and the answers given from all BC Liberals were....Fast ferries, doom and gloom of the 90s, fudget budget, for 4 more years with a complicit legislative media(Sean Leslie, Keith Baldrey, Les Leyne, Tom Fletcher) laughed and tee heed about the Campbell Liberals refusing to answer any questions in Question period with anything but Fast Ferries, doom and gloom of the 90s, and three or more "stock answers"  to every single question!  No friends, the media didn`t care, Keith Baldrey and Sean Leslie`s wives working with  Campbell`s public affairs bureau, confilct of interest in media was ignored, the separation from Government and media was broken, the quality of news and reporting of facts by Vaughn Palmer, Baldrey, and Sean Leslie was amateurish at best,  corrupt and illegal ommissions at worst, I call out all of them to debate  facts versus fiction ......Vaughn Palmer, Baldrey, Sean Leslie, Les Leyne and their Canwest /Corus bosses broke the rules of ethics and honesty and lived their new life in the pockets of the BC Liberals and they should be stripped of any journalistic credentials they might hold, Michael Campbell, Michael Levy, all conected together, Global news, Shaw, CKNW...CKNW had one person represnting the left, Bill Tieleman on Monday with Norman Specter, and when the HST petition got rolling they dumped Bill Tieleman and planted Monte Paulson as a rep for the left, what a sad piece of mush Monte Paulson turned out to be, all he does is bob his head and agree with Norman on everything, sad pathetic radio..........That`s funny, Journalistic credentials, none of those media mentioned could stand in front of me with a Straight face and tell me they played it square and didn`t promote the BC Liberal`s every position and ignore if not endorse the scandals.........That won`t change folks, the media will assault the NDP with venom never seen before when the writ drops...In fact Ida Chong has already been asked to remove an anti-HST ad she`s running on the island, Ms. Chong is claiming the NDP are secretly running recall in an attempt to re-fight the election...A formal complaint has been filed.


The dissedents, I hate that word, dissedent should mean 1 (one).....When 40% of a group opposes the word dissedent shouldn`t apply, the word "faction" should be used, never-the-less....These dissedents, Nicholas Simons, a gentle kind man who cares more about children, disabled, mentally handi-capped,  I have met Nicholas on several occasions, his priority is the well being of children, if you could clone hearts for future use, I would start with Nicholas Simon`s heart...A puppy dog of a man with a beautiful soul....Ms. Conroy, I have heard her many times in the Legislature , crying foul over river destruction and the stripping of town rights, last session, Ms. Conroy in question period asked questions of Kevin Falcon(then health minister)....She asked about the closure of their local emergency room and other medical access questions that were having devastating effects on her town, on her constituents.....


Only to be brought to tears in the Legislature when Kevin Falcon started talking about fast ferries in the 90s and Glen Clark, this was 2010, Ms. Conroy asked empassioned questions on emergency health care in question period in 2010 and Falcon answered with garbage from the 90s, ten damn years ago and when Ms Conroy asked follow up questions the same thing happened, this performance in the Legislature has been going on for 9 years with nary a peep from the media......This my friends is one of the so-called dissedents(Faction for democracy)......Did Keith Baldrey or Sean Leslie report on Kevin Falcon laughing and making light of seniors dying in closed hospitals, no friends, the silence of Baldrey and Leslie`s reporting was...."deafening".....This has been going on for years, I have never seen Carole James cry in the Legislature, she has asked and demanded answers from a Corrupt Gordon Campbell Government, but for whatever reasons she`s ignored with impunity,  if Gordon Campbell refuses to answer questions in the legislature then walk out, take your questions to the people DAMN IT!....


I personally sent Carole James a letter asking her and the NDP party to walk out of the legislature and refuse to sit if questions in 2010 aren`t answered with facts about today and not bullshit media spin about fast ferries and events in the 90s, Campbell opens and closes the people`s house at will so why not walk out when it`s open, make a statement, scream loud and often from people`s pulpit....The BC Legislature has turned into the joke of Canada and the media laughed and giggled while sucking taxpayer paid lunches with Ida Chomp chomp Chong and have allowed this now normal procedure of obfuscation to grow and fester....


Dissedents ....Like Gary Coons,...A man who responded to all of my email questions, whose concerns were protecting rate-payers who use the coastal ferry as a daily highway, Gary talked to me, all my letters to Carole James were ignored, I am not going to go through each dissedent one by one, none of that faction have leadership ambitions, their care, their concern is for the Province and more importantly the poor children of B.C, a growing demographic....

For there is no such thing as effective opposition, we have a dictorial system, for without the rein`s of power the dismantling of our Province will continue, a stronger performance coming up short won`t cut it, will your apology to the people suffice Carole James when you lose the next election?


Carole James flip-flopped on the Port Mann bridge, flipped on the carbon tax, MLA pay raises, the Campbell media and public affairs had defined Carole already as  a flip-flopper, indicisive, a weak leader, Carole James mopped the floor with Gordon Campbell in both the 2005 and 2009 television leaders debate yet......Yet it did nothing, CKNW and Bill Good and his Gordon Campbell radio team used radio silence and trickery to embarrass Carole James this last election, Marc Jaccard, the Fraser institute, Phil Hocstein, the restaurant industry, everyone came out against Carole James with lies and false labels, they attacked her on the minimum wage, on policy, even the enviro`s like David Suzuki, Tzeporah Berman jumped into the BC Liberal`s pockets for indirect donations and bribes. .....The labels stuck, Carole didn`t debunk the slow drip of propaganda on radio, on TV, again I emailed Carole James asking, demanding that she monitor radio and T.V.  and call in to dispute the lies, she ignored my advice and as such......She was defined as weak, flip-flopping, indicisive........... Was the NDP platform and defence of its record left to me only to defend, one powell river persuader, one Grant G, one Brian G who brow beat Bill Good and the Friday stooges week after week with facts, using BC Liberal shame to embarrass them every time, with skill, with the truth....In fact I was so damn effective on air that Gordon Campbell asked Corus radio and Nick Ozinsky to keep Brian from Garden bay off the air.....Bring on this blog......Flock you stooges, your courage and honesty will never match mine....You rely on power and lies, how can you stooges look it the mirror without vomiting?

Gordon Campbell lied going into our last election, lied on the HST, the massive $4 billion dollar deficit, the media stooges peddled Campbell`s obvious budget lies right through the election, Baldrey and Leslie`s wife got their bonus money, the stooge`s bosses got their advertisement money, journalism died in this Province,......

And when the public freaked out about the HST and deficit lie, when the people raged at Colin Hansen and Campbell, when Campbell and Hansen made utter fools out of themselves lying everyday, changing their lies every other week, with Bill Good and Christy Clark changing their lying spin everyday, a shameful display worthy of this persuader calling them out, fat lazy Bill good, a lying Cluckster, store bought stooges in Les Leyne, Baldrey, Sean Leslie....You paid employees know the script, you know what lies to peddle.

So what does Carole do....Nothing, she allows the Vander Zalm to take the reins, when asked month after month about the HST  and what she and the NDP party would do about it, she never ever clarified, it was like pulling teeth, "were stuck with it, it might be costly to get out of, we will ask the Federal Government, we will get out in 5 years"....Carole waffled, hesitated and to this day she hasn`t made it clear to the general public.....Meanwhile Gordon Campbell is hated, the BC Liberals are hated, Colin Hansen and Gordon Campbell will be joining the Hall of Fame for liars!

So for 18 months Carole James has wandered around in a daze, the BC Liberals are polling in the toilet bowl and the NDP numbers frozen at 42%.....The same amount who voted for them in the last election....

If you can`t attract  members or angry BC Liberals to your team with the public screaming bloody murder something is severely wrong!

So now public anger has settled down a little bit, the BC Liberals are dominating the airwaves with a planned slow drip leadership campaign with everyone of the BC Liberal candidates and the media pounding on the NDP, and when the "Faction for democracy"  spoke up and asked quietly for Carole to move on, the media......

The Sean Leslie, Baldrey, Palmer, Les Leyne, the Vancouver Sun and Province editorial boards  cried out in defence of Carole James and called the party stupid for doing this......

And if the media think they are fooling anyone with their temporary love for Carole James...Well, we ain`t buying it and.....

Political Science 101...."Genies can`t be put back in the bottle", Carole James was defined as a ":Weak leader, a flip-flopper, indecisive, no management skills"  and that was before this latest revolt!....After this internal revolt against Carole James, her own party have called her all of the above and more, Ms. James has.."No direction, dictorial, she can`t win, she can`t lead,"......Add the Moe Sihota big labour connection and it`s game over.....Look folks, the big labour thing is moot, what`s the difference between a union giving the NDP a few bucks and Tesako mines giving the BC Liberals millions....None at all except for one thing, the paid media stooges will bury Carole and Moe Sihota over it....

So now the ads will run come the next election dragging Carole and Moe through the mud, Carole will be called weak leader, a flip-flopper, no plan for the HST, in bed with big labour, there will be ads running using quotes from Jenny Kwan, Bob Simpson, Nicholas Simons, the ads will state...."Carole James is so weak her own party won`t vote for her"

Political science 101----"Genies can`t be put back in bottles once released"

So regardless of what Carole James may say and do this weekend, the game is over, there must be a full leadership contest, the NDP backroom players must realize that Moe Sihota and his union stipend must go, the optics must change, the rumour of secret labour deals for unions will be rife........ A leadership contest must go forward, anything short of that will be another decade in the wilderness! We have to be honest with ourselves, the lay of the land is such we know the personal attacks are coming at Carole, we must be proactive rather than reactive...


Picture this scenario.....At the same time the BC Liberals are having their leadership contest the NDP also have a leadership contest....The leadership contest to start this Monday and run until Febuary 26th weekend/2010....So when the BC Liberals announce their new leader the NDP on the same weekend after a one member one vote contest announce their leader and both parties start fresh, the NDP with new gusto, united, focused..... The BC Liberals with their all-guilty by association, all voted with Campbell, all standing firm with campbell`s directions and policies.....I like our chances!

The game would be over...Welcome to the legislature NDP....Congratulations.......Now damn it, protect and help the children!!

Kevin Falcon to continue Selling Your Future Hope, BC Hydro Set to Rape Your Wallet

The master of the game of Con, three card monty, now you see it now you don`t, the magician and his sidekick, a silver haired wizard and his lovely assistant.....OK, a silver haired lying bastard and the ugliest man in politics...

These financial gurus have been lying, spinning, and confusing the public as to  their economic prowess, what a sad joke, the 4 largest deficits in BC history were brought in by Gordon Campbell....The media, the Baldreydastardly and Vaughn the pawn Palmer and Billy lie my face off Good have talked over and over again about the dark 90s...

In fact friends the 90s weren`t dark, they were well lit and the people of this Province could afford to turn their lights on, in case you haven`t heard, John Horgan informed me yesterday that BC Hydro is applying to the BCUC to increase rates by a staggering 30% plus over three years.....Glen Clark and the NDP froze residential rates in the 90s while Gordon Campbell and Kevin Falcon have increased power costs by leaps and bounds....Recently CD Howe institute noted the Kevin Falcon`s BC Liberal Government raised BC Hydro rates by 100% between 2006 and 2010.....And that`s not enough, that`s not near enough to pay the lucrative criminal contracts Campbell, Abbott, Falcon signed...

You would think that will all these massive price spikes Falcon ordered BC Hydro to levy on the public that the profit from BC Hydro would be over filling Government coffers, you would be wrong, the money, the increases, theses latest increases are to raise money for Plutonic Power(General Electric)..Finavera wind power(Accenture)..Money for Paul Taylor`s private power buddies, ......

Let me give a quick explaination to the few uninformed, at a time when the world is in a recession, Gordon Campbell and Kevin Falcon, George Abbott through the BC Liberal cabinet .......Made a law....That`s right folks a law, a law forbidding BC Hydro from developing any new power sources, the Campbell law states in no uncertain terms that BC Hydro is prohibited from creating new power generation sources, BC Hydro was limited to upgrading existing facilities, at the same time.....

Kevin Falcon and George Abbott through cabinet demanded by law the BC Hydro MUST buy power from private producers on our own BC Rivers and streams for 3 to ten times the value of the power!.....

That`s right folks, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott, Christy Clark all led by their hero Gordon Campbell by law prevented BC Hydro from producing any new power and at the same time demanded by law that BC Hydro buy all the power produced from IPPs.....Forget that BC Hydro can borrow money at Government rates, forget that BC Hydro under W.A.C. Bennett was and is the best Dam and Hydro builder in the world with in-house specialists....Forget about all that because......

Because Paul Taylor buddies(Gordon Campbell`s chief-of-staff) ...Plutonic power, General electric, Finavera, and many many more were told in not so many words that if....

You give money to the BC Liberal party not only will you be granted 40 year water leases but we, the Gordon Campbell/Kevin Falcon Government will enshrine in law to buy your power for 35 years at $120 dollars to $180 dollars .......In other words friends, Kevin Falcon guaranteed a big time cash flow to these private companies and that cash my friends is coming out of your pockets.

What their hero Gordon Campbell did was economically crush BC Hydro, crush the rate payer....CD Howe has already reported how BC Hydro rates have double under Falcon, under George Abbott, under Gordon Campbell, the last few years alone BC Hydro rates have doubled and today, BC Hydro needs to raise rates by 30% more just to keep up with the payments to private power companies....


There is a North America glut of hydro electric power, especially on the west coast, the current spot market for Hydro electric is about 35$ per unit.....that price has been trending downward yet Gordon campbell, George Abbott, Kevin Falcon, Christy Clark, all BC Liberals have guaranteed that you the rate payer of British Columbia  will pay private companies 5 to 8 times the current rate.....Therefore BC Hydro is forced to keep raising and raising rates from residential customers to pay Plutonic power and others....

 I mean this is so sick, BCers might as well send the cheque directly to Plutonic power and avoid the middleman....


Rafe Mair, Damian Gillis, Kootcoot Myself and a few other have been ringing the fire bell to no avail, Kevin Falcon Christy Clark, George Abbott, Gordon Campbell, they all believe in taking as much of your money and funneling it to their rich friends, do any of you believe that Falcon, Abbott with their $200 thousand dollar a year stipends worry about their hydro bill.....Does anyone think that Christy Clark with her $700 thousand dollar per year radio gig (3 and a half hours a day)....Christy Clark with her multi million dollar divorce settlement plus lucrative child support, now she wants to max out her Government pension and carry on in promoting and endorsing Gordon Campbell`s ideology, does anyone think these people care one bit about bankrupting BC Hydro and the ratepayer, do you think they care about the HST, they will write it all off, only you poor voting saps pay, Christy Clark won`t be paying it!

The media, cknw, the Vancouver Sun, these outfits are criminal organizations, they omit news, they fail to report, they spin.they lie, they have no ethics, Fazil Mihlar who runs the editorial board at the Vancouver sun is the former head and still honored member of the Fraser institute, as for cknw, Bill Good has been on his knees sucking and slurping and promoting Gordon Campbell, Kevin Falcon and George Abbott, and Christy Clark`s agenda for years!

Yea I hear Bill Good everday whining about the internet news, your time is up old man!.....Today the Vancouver sun reported on BC Hydro raising rates another 10% per year for the next three years......And what a lame article it was, the story, fiction at best...

The Vancouver Sun is doing again what they have done for the last decade, close their mind, look the other way, print the story get paid by the BC Government and claim stupidity, that folks is what cknw and the Vancouver sun have done for the last decade!

First off, the Vancouver sun reports that the average hydro bill in BC is a mere 70$ dollars per month....The increase BC Hydro wants this year will take that rate up to 77$ per month,....10% more would be 85$ per month...and the final 10% bring that monthly bill to $94 dollars per month.....Thats the entire story folks...

Actually, what I reported is more than the entire story.....I don`t normally do this but I have cut n pasted the entire article from the Vancouver Sun, you will be amazed with its indepth coverage, how they explain that single detatched homes hydro bills are triple that $70 per month amount, you will be stunned how the Vancouver Sun and their kick-ass investigative journalists dug deep for the reasons for the increases, you will see how a first class top-notch newspaper spends big dollars and turns over every rock to get to the truth....Well there was the build up friends here is the Straight Goods from the Vancouver Sun(cut n pasted)
__________________________________________________________________________________________

BC Hydro is proposing rate increases of about 10 per cent in each of the next three years.
That would add about $7 dollars a month to the average home's hydro bill each year, totalling $21 by 2014


Read more: http://www.vancouversun.com/Hydro+proposing+rate+increases+each+next+years/3922808/story.html#ixzz174vWc0r4

_________________________________________________________________________________________
There it is folks....There was the  entire Vancouver Sun story, gee whiz, I wonder if they are going to come after me for copyright infringement.....A whole 30 words!

(updated)...The Vancouver Sun and BC Government after reading my story have lengthened the Vancouver Sun story/article and added too it, it is still very vague  with no details, but just think of the increase for Hydro bills, even the smallest apartment will see a $21 dollar per month increase under the BC Liberals....how much is the low-income HST credit?....If you received the maimum, $224 dollars per year HST low-income credit...BC Hydro increase on the smallest apartment  $21 dollars X 12 months = $234 dollars.......So much for that credit!

The media hasn`t quit yet, thet will play their games to the bitter end, Falcon, Abbott, Clark, Bill Good, Vancouver Sun....Enemies of the people.....We have issues to expose, we have a Falcon to declaw, we have an Abbott who needs his neck tightened to keep his head from bobbling, we have a Christy Clark whose balls need to be snipped!, we have BC Liberal crimes to bring to the public`s attention!

Time to Celebrate, BC Liberals freaking out over Carole James Ultimate Departure!

Well friends, time to rock and roll and make heads and tails over this wrongly perceived mess.......

First things first, I received a response from the CBSC and Solange Courteau(The name of the CBSC representitive) has provided me with my file number from my successful complaint and is sending me out a  hardcopy of said complaint and remedy against Christy Clark, I also forwarded the email from the CBSC to Sean Holman....Lets see if Holman responds or stays quiet and in Christy`s political camp!

The Jenny Kwan affair, fantasticcccccccc......The BC Liberal and media stooges have come out early and strong in defence of Carole James, friends I can hear the pure panic and spin in Vaughn Palmer and Keith Baldrey....Bill Good is playing the shock card, over and over Bill Good is saying.."Where is the new leader of the NDP, no one has come forward"snip

Well folks, just like with the BC Liberals, no one, no new leader comes forward until the present leader either resigns or calls for a leadership contest.....So rest assured friends that the leaders WILL come forward...Leaders like John Horgan.....

I am making a personal plea to David Shreck and Ian Reid........My plea is....STHU about how Carole James took the party from 2 seats to 32 seats....Yawn, old news, false news, Gordon Campbell drove NDPers back to the party, it has nothing to do with Carole James, NOTHING!

 I apologize for usuing such stern language and forcefullness....But democracy and majority rule, Carole must announce a full blown leadership vote, one member, one vote, it`s my opinion  that Carole would receive but a tiny portion of that vote, we will come out of a vote united, stronger, a winner, Shreck and Reid use too much personal reasoning in defence of Carole James, the knives should have sliced Carole up after she lost the second election, our mistake was waiting 18 months, having said that, the genie can`t be put back in the bottle, for now if there was an election in 6 months or 2 years from now the media, the BC Liberals would use the NDP`s own words to bury the party......However we got to this point in time doesn`t matter, were here, one member, one vote......To the winner goes the spoils!

The reason for my elevated blood pressure....Take this quote from David Shreck`s latest GARBAGGIO PIECE..


 "The next election will see a dramatically reduced and ineffective NDP, unable to finance the kind of campaign a reinvigorated government party will mount"

For Christ sakes man!...How more ineffective can the NDP get, have they stopped one bill, one hydro increase, one act, anything, BC Rail, BC Ferries, BC Place roof, Gambling, name one goddamn thing they have done as you so elequently state Shreck(effective)...Where, What, Who, When, Where was I ...Because I seemed to have missed it....Like I say, David Shreck should stick to money and finanaces, Shreck must be the great Karnack of Johnny Carson fame, he sees things that aren`t there, perhaps my visions are hermetically sealed in a mayonaisse jar!

Carole James had a window of opportunity, that was in 2005 to 2009, she was given out of respect another chance in 2009, that opportunity shouldn`t have been granted, the same mistake won`t be made again....That chance was squandered, I don`t care what riding associations or what Moe Sihota has to say about Carole James...

The yellow scarves were a low down dirty  CHILDISH trick....Sheesh, what next, yellow mitts and a giant Flag, what an embarrassment...The public, the stooges, the media, the BC Liberals have defined Carole James, rightly or wrongly Carole James has been labeled, I would want Carole James to organize a bake sale or bottle drive but beyond that........Forgetaboutit!!!!

Comments from papers, the internet, letters to the editor, comments on our blog, the Tyee, Da House of infamy, BC Mary`s place, Ross K.....Damn it folks the consensus says......Carole James is a poor leader, she inspires no one, lacklustre, boring, nagging, finger nails on a chalkboard.....And at a time when the BC Liberals are the most reviled party in North America, from corner to corner whether it be Pat Bell, Shirley Bond, De Jong, Falcon, Heed, McDiarmid, Polak, every damn BC Liberal is hated, the HST, all this time and you can ask anyone in the Province ...

"What is the NDP`s stance on the HST".....And they would answer...Uhh, I don`t know, NDP who?....Gumby with a microphone would get more support than Carole James....So again David Shreck/Ian Reid...STHU!...Friendship and personal allegencies have no place at this time, life turns, moments come and go.......Jenny Kwan has ripped the scab off the wound, the NDP are in the news, all is good.....And Ian, David, if Carole James wins a one member one vote contest, so be it...She won`t, no logic beats that reasoning!.

Have you not heard, yesterday Kevin Falcon (before the Kwan confession) said...."We want to run against Carole James, she`s a weak leader, she flip-flopped on the carbon tax, the Port Mann bridge, MLA salaries, she is weak, weak, weak"....

Mike De Jomg, Christy Clark, all of them want Carole James in the game.....Today on the cutting ledge on cknw(a day early)...Vaughn Palmer and Keith Baldrey are calling Jenny Kwan and others.."a small minority of dissidents"....They talk how carole will put down this internal revolt...Their motives are as plain as the nose on their face...

Keep Carole James in the game.....And you know what folks....I can hear the stooges come next election(if Carole James is still there)....The stooges will call Carole James weak, a poor leader, they will pull every quote from Jenny Kwan and Bob Simpson, every quote, the BC Liberals and the media will tell the public that even the NDP don`t think Carole is leadership material...

And despite what Moe Sihota and some backroom NDPers want, Sorry Moe Sihota...The People and Province come first, you and Carole James will find yourself alone without a party...Carole and Moe go to Hollywood...Hey maybe you can jump on the Star whackers story....Hey, you clowns have no star appeal and will be safe....

Sorry friends, I know politics, I know what you can and can`t come back from, Moe Sihota and Carole James must go, at one time I thought Carole James could stay within the party as an MLA and or Cabinet minister, but if Carole fights this losing battle even that position will become a pipedrem...

I am celebrating the end of Carole James as leader of the NDP....A fresh new start, and until Carole James does the right thing and flocks off I will not donate another penny nor endorse the party....I will still report on the criminal fiscal activities of the BC Liberal party......

Carole James, go to Vanderhoof, Prince George, Langley, Burnaby, ask Joe Public what they think of Carole James, what`s her position on the HST....

Remember Carole James, every quote from Jenny, from Bob Simpson, from everyone, the yellow scarves, the media will sink your chances Carole James with words from your own party members, and if Moe Sihota doesn`t see that, acknowledge that, than perhaps Moe Sihota and other higher up NDPers are actually working for...

The BC Liberals!

Rich Coleman is out as potential new leader of the BC Liberals

I Was wrong, Coleman is out.......But what you will find is all of the rat pack will soon come to realize that they can`t win, Gordon Campbell took the whole works of them into the depth`s of hell....

This opens things up for Christy Cluck Cluck Clark.......But trust me folks, the public may initially see a shiny new apple in Christy but when the worms eat Christy Clark from the inside out, the public will see what Christy Cluck Clark is...Christy is a female Gordon Campbell.....Good luck with promoting that HST and refusing to raise minimum wage....More to come..

With a Cluck Cluck Here and a Cluck Cluck There!

Before we get started, I have contacted the CBSC by email and have requested a hard copy of not only my complaint against Christy Clark but also the remedy Christy Clark provided, I will personally call them tomorrow on the telephone(3 hours difference back east, I was busy with medical appointments today)...Then I will show the complaint to Sean Holman, maybe he will post it.  ....It`s quite apparant(IMO) that Sean Holman is promoting Christy, maybe Sean Holman wants Christy Clark`s 12:30 to 3:00 radio slot, who knows for sure, once a BC Liberal always a BC Liberal, he would fit right in,  eh Sean?.

A very clever campaign being run by cknw and the BC Liberals(they are one in the same)....Moira stilwell, Then Abbott, Christy Cluck muses, now Falcon, tomorrow Ding Dong De Jong.....The BC Liberals are in the news 24/7 over the leadership race but devasting Provincial news and all the scandals are not...BC Rail who?..IPP who?....Looming $2.5 billion dollar deficit who?....Like I said, the leadership grunting will wane and the real life fiscal nightmare will return to the big screen....

I`m curious about Christy Clark, will she be satisfied with a short run as premier if she wins the leadership race, the reason I ask is this, will Christy Clark become bored sitting as opposition leader for 4 years?...Or will she move on to pollinate another new flower, Christy Clark, now divorced with $millions  and $millions  from Mark Marrisen, ......

Why does Christy Clark want to be premier, to save the HST...To continue the downgrading of public education....To keep the NDP out...To destroy what`s left of unions....To sell off the last remnants of our natural resources and rivers, to reduce school boards to ashes?

What is your motive Christy?....Would you launch a child poverty reduction strategy and put real dollars behind it, will you fulfill your 2001 promise of 5000 additional long care beds for the elderly.....What is your real motive Christy, are you going to fight for funding for autistic children or are you going to fight to lower corporate taxes, ...How does that question go....."If you were president(premier) what would be the first thing you would do?"  What is your answer Christy......Promote the HST, destroy Fish Lake, Enbridge pipeline, re-invent the education system, private health care.........Or are you going to cut the new user fees levied on seniors care, lower MSP premiums, who will be your economic advisor...Michael Levy or Michael Campbell, how does your friend Jordon Bateman fit into the mix?

Are you proud of the BC Liberal record on a human scale? Yes or No

The reason I ask is, regardless of who is running for the BC Liberals the NDP are going to win, so the question is this Ms Clark, are you prepared to sit and be ignored for four years as opposition leader?.....

Now before you faithful start quizzing me, I have been listening to CKNW phone-in callers very carefully over the last few days, and what I have discovered is fascinating, first off, the hardcore BC Liberal male(the one`s still voting Liberal) will vote for and prefer Christy Cluck over the rat pack,  although men tend to follow their little head more than females voters....But what amazed me was female callers to cknw, the majority of female callers to the station like Christy  as a talk show host but think she would make a terrible leader, they called her combative, shrill, lacking wisdom, a political opportunist, .....I can`t put my finger on it but Jane Public see Christy Clark as a wealthy talk show host, who received a huge divorce settlement, she may be a single mom but she has daycare provided, money is no option, there is no struggle, a big time cushy gig yacking on the radio for three hours a day being paid more than families with both parents working...in other words friends, Christy Clark isn`t being regarded like the Wild Rose alliance party in Alberta, having a purpose,a grass roots party fighting for change....The female electorate seesChristy Clark as ......

A wealthy political opportunist who used the microphone to advance her career, a woman with more money than most, who wants for nothing, a political BC Liberal insider interested in carrying on with everything Gordon Campbell started, she`s in favour of the HST, she`s in favour of more private school, more private health clinics, more deregulation, she agrees with Neils Veldhuis at the Fraser institute about never raising the minimum wage, she cares not about the bears(Christy carpets), the fish, fish farms, the environment be damned, taxes, user fees, skyrocketing hydro rates, bridge tolls and higher property taxes means nothing, Christy Clark has never ever had to count pennies to survive, her world is that of a social butterfly attending all the right parties, ......Christy Clark does not come across as real woman making the best of a tough situation.....And the real female voter in this Province, even her own female listeners for the most part don`t want her as premier, it`s kinda like Oprah...Bruce Springsteen and other big names, the big names are great for raising money for aid, farm aid, tsunami relief, earthquake money but when these poeople delve into politics is just doesn`t transfer......The female Christy Clark fan will not vote for a Premier Christy Clark.

So as far as I can see, Christy clark is doomed before she runs, destined for four years as opposition leader.

I mentioned the B.C. fiscal nightmare that`s being ignored, GDP numbers came out today and Canada, as a whole GDP was zero...Actually it was negative, back to back quarters of negative growth and that pace is forecast to continue into 2012....What I`m saying is this, last week there was a Provincial update and again Colin Hansen was lying about the books, personal income tax collected is way down, natural resource revenue is off of estimates by $500 million dollars, property transfer taxes are way down, liquor and gaming revenues are all below this year`s forecast......Even the BS Hansen was talking about last month, an estimated $1.8 billion dollars over three years from corporate tax(remember Campbell`s vanishing income tax cut, those fictitious dollars were going to pay for it)  That was at best rosy forcasting of fictitious funds, the likelyhood of that money being there are slim and none with these GDP numbers....

Austerity measures(taking away of entitlments) in Spain, in Greece, the UK, Ireland, France, pensions slashed, millions of workers laid off, increased retirement age, tripling of tuitions for students, the US in a jobless funk, now Canada`a growth has flat-lined and projected to stay in a flat line for at least two more years, the stimulus spending in the US and Canada has ended, well folks, all these numbers mean but one thing...

Commodity prices will flaten out, exports of raw resources will fall, tourism will be stale, you can`t stress out all those countries and take and take without the world pulling back and BC and Canada as exporting Nations will suffer, China will make less finished goods, with reduced demand, less Chinese manufacturing means less raw resources from B.C. and Canada, people taking vacations won`t be coming to the most expensive province in Canada they will stay home or go the cheaper countries, Asia, thirdworld islands, Mexico, BC tourism will falter, add in all the domestic internet shopping, cross border shopping to avoid the draconian tax and what you have is a fiscal disaster for Canada and especially British Columbia....

And there`s more, the USA has filed a well-substantiated soft-wood lumber complaint against BC(not Canada, BC is named specifically)..The Government of B.C....We will lose that case and a huge fine totaling a $billion dollars plus will be levied at B.C....Don`t expect private forestry companies to pay it, Campbell and Pat Bell broke the rules and B.C. will pay the price....Colin Hansen was waffling last week about B.C. meeting its deficit target this year, he forecast at the beginning of the year a $1.7 billion dollar deficit, that after $500 million dollars of the HST bribe and $760 million dollars stolen from ICBC (ratepayers) were added to general revenue.....So if you count the true deficit without those cash infusions....The true deficit would be $3.2 billion dollars, and now even that $1.7 billion dollar figure won`t be realized, natural gas revenue is way off, $200 million more dollars was spent on forest fires over and above what was budgeted, in other words friends, there is no money under the cushions, ministries will be cut some more and deficits will be larger, there will be no extra money to play Santa Claus, our true 2010 deficit could reach $4 billion dollars!....

Whoever is in power will rule under a dark, moneyless cloud, there will not be $1billion... $2 billion..$3billion dollar surpluses, there will be scary high hydro rates with BC Hydro losing money, increased user fees on MSP, escalating tolls for workers from the Fraser valley, an HST that the BC Liberals won`t remove, Translink will eventually be adding another carbon tax, even after property taxes are raised for the evergreen line Translink`s money shortfall is in the 10s of $Billions.....

Canadians are drowning in debt, there is but one message they want to hear, lower taxes, unfortunately with all the subsidies to the corporate sector, run of river/IPP power buying contracts, P3 payments, BC Ferries drowning in debt, there will be no way to lower taxes, the mess, the disaster, whoever follows in Government after Gordon Campbell is going to inherit a economic disaster similar to what Barack Obama inherited....It won`t be pretty....

So my question to you Christy Clark is, is the premiership of B.C. a shiny new bauble for you to play with or do you actually have a vision, a vision that doesn`t require any money, there are no goodies to hand out, the cupboard is bare, in fact the hinges have come right off the cupboard.

A Voice of Reason?

I`m back, another fun-filled thrill ride into the big smoke, honking cars, traffic jams, unimaginable street scenes in east Vancouver, our own twisted version of Alice in Wonderland and empty bike lanes(Saturday afternoon).

I enjoyed many of your contributions to our stories, however we had many really angry haters, Christy lovers...To the gentleman who suggested the NDP can build a bike lane to Vancouver Island, well, I suggest you write Dr Mcgeer on that one......And there was another anonymouse who let fly with the expletives in defence of Christy Clark.....I must admit, there were several words I haven`t heard before in conjunction with one another, now don`t get me wrong, I like expletives, ....Especially this one  @#%$...Although this one I more commonly use...^&%&%%$  !@# *&%^^......But really friend, to put this one  *^^&&&*   together with this..@$%$%$%  follwed by a @#$&^%* ^%^*^$  &^#@@%^&....Topped off with  *&%^  *#$....Now that was clever, and a wee bit nasty...

And there was an interesting comment from someone who claimed to have visited our site twice (It`s ok, no one admits to reading me) ...He said that the commentary was fair(Fair!, that`s it?..Just fair, how about a B)  but that he didn`t like the snideness(is that a word?)....He/She suggested I water it down and keep my apparant nastiness to myself, ......And if I agree will you read my stories daily?....Well, who knows friends, I obviously struck a nerve....

Let me say first off, I wasn`t trained to write in any particular style, I kinda just start plucking the keyboard and prayed for the best, I hope you`re not disappointed, I could have chose to write like Keith Baldrey and make excuse after excuse and forgive and justify any and all Government decisions, lies, policies and the such or maybe write like Les Leyne who leaves more facts out, overlooks blatant lies, misses the story time and time again but always falls back into BC Liberal arms,.....Michael Smyth is a pretty good ranter at times but ..But research and Michael Smyth are oil n water, you never see them together, too thin and void of any feeling for my liking....And of course, our good friend Vaughn Palmer, by far the best writer of the stooges, in fact Vaughn Palmer is a specialist, ..I call it the Palmer technique...He`s a master of leading readers astray, his title sends you one way while the story goes another, classic Palmer...What Palmer will do..He`ll have a title that slaps the Campbell Government , but when you read the story, Vaughn spends the whole story putting the Liberals on a pedestal and the very end of his article he will give a little nip on the butt to the Liberals, it could be called bait and switch journalism I suppose....

But since I had no force fed format in my training, what you see is what you get, ....Where was I...Oh yea, The contributor who wanted me to tone down the rhetoric, ....You know friends the reason I started writing this blog, places like the Tyee, even Sean Holman`s place, they wouldn`t allow me to say things like Campbell is a liar, a #%^&$#, I couldn`t write Gordon Campbell and Lara Dauphinee are boss/employee lovers, even though there was proof everywhere they wouldn`t allow it written on their sites, of course now everyone calls Campbell  a liar, Colin Hansen a liar, that should have been allowed 9 years ago when it started, the lying I mean......

So out of frustration the Straight Goods(Thanks Ross K, I think) is born,.....What were you saying, you wanted nice clean mellow commentary, you mean like David Shreck, Paul Willcocks?...Well let`s give it a try..

Christy Clark, what a great communicator, what a voice, although when flustered she stutters, the NDP would be well served to enroll half their members into public speaking courses, Mr. Farnsworth, the word umm, umm, umm..It doesn`t sound good on radio, if you have no answer say nothing, not umm...Ralston needs to find a little fire in the belly, public projection friends, learn to speak in clear terms or learn to be quiet, children should be seen and not heard(right dad).....Christy is a good communicator, maybe too good, perhaps I was out of line mentioning Christy`s attacks on school boards, however 13 out of 15 shows all beating the same drum, the ad nauseum about bike lanes day after day, in the long run who cares, I mentioned the bike lanes up top because it was a dry warm Saturday afternoon(today) and I went cruising through Christyville to have a look,.....I saw 3 bike riders in two round trips from over the Burrard bridge to Hasting street and back(1:pm  to 2:pm)....Perhaps bike lanes should be a summer fare only......But the elephant in the room, east Hastings, a scene from right out of a movie, a cross between one flew over the cuckoo`s nest and escape from New York, a 21st century drug experiment on the mentally disabled and castaways...That story folks should be the one that gets drummed and strummed every day, a goofy over-priced bike lane is standard fare for Christy yet an open infected puss filled wound and the shame of Canada is on display day after day with nary a word....Maybe I`m being picky, I suppose Christy`s promoting of the Trophy Grizzly bear hunt  should be ignored too...Where else are people going to get bear rugs for their floors, growling bear heads with the pearly whites shining for their walls, and let`s don`t forget about that bear skin hat.....

Of course I don`t need to report on these truths, I listen to Christy for laughs too, remember Gregor Robertson got caught off camera but on mike calling people @#$%#%$  NPA hacks, yea Christy ran with that story for days and it`s her right, but it`s also hypocritical because Christy Clark called Bill Tieleman  a "BACKROOM NDP HACK" snip...And she has called Chris Delaney "A HACK" snip....So for me to point out how Christy doesn`t care about the use of the word hack, as she clearly loves the word and is very familar with its use, for Christy it`s about the person, her hatred of Gregor in my opinion stems from Christy Clark`s failed bid to become mayor of Vancouver, in fact, I heard Christy Clark`s Friday teaser message, it`s my belief that Christy Clark will indeed run for office, but not for the Premiership but for Mayor of Vancouver.

To me, a good writer trys to inform, points out hypocrisy on both sides, for example, when Ms Clark called everyone who signed the anti-HST petition "Taliban" perhaps she wasn`t calling the general public anarchists but calling Bill Vander Zalm ..Osama Bin Laden.....The point being if Carole james or any NDP mla called the public Tailban, NPA HACKS,  we would never hear the end of it, cknw would be running as their lead news item twice an hour and Christy would be mudraking the NDP over it, those my friends are just facts, Christy did 3 shows attacking Guy Geuntner with almost delusional qualities, her attacks on Guy were scary in its intensity, she insinuated that Guy Geuntner was using the death of a child to forward his career, ....And what sin did Guy commit, last year Guy Geuntner spent money from his constituency budget and ordered thousands of glow and the dark wristbands for elementary students, that way they can be seen at night, also Halloween was approaching, the poor young girl whom some deranged human animal attacked and killed in Delta some months ago, Guy Geuntner ordered these glow in dark wristbands months before that sick tragedy occurred yet Christy Clark was suggesting that Guy was a sick, cold minded creep trying to capitalize on that story and the young girl`s death, if anyone heard that segment one would have thought Christy Clark was frothing at the mouth and spitting spittle into the radio listeners ears....Look friends, politicians will be politicians, Guy Geuntner did make one error, he put his initials on the wristbands, big deal, where was Christy`s venom over Campbell`s Olympic Gordallions,(hypocrisy right there)......

 What were those intials on the wristbands, Guy Geuntner, GG....Well friends, I`m not much of an expert on initials but ... Does it get any better than that ....GG?

I will have much more to say on Ms Clark and I will try to tone it down on occasion but only a little, hey we do tear-jerker stories too, everything in time.

But the last thing that will ever happen to the Straight Goods and my commentary is to turn it into "Milk and Cookies"......Save the milk and cookies for the 1 in 7 children in B.C. going to bed with their stomach`s growling them a bed night story!

Christy Clark, Liar, Vindictive and a Shrew!

Well the rumour mill has been busy grinding up potential new leaders for the BC Liberal party, the usual NPA hacks and others were lauding Carole Taylor to pick up the reins, when Carole Taylor flatly refused and at the same time  took on a three year gig at UBC as chancellor or something like that ended that pipe dream!

Then John Furlong was pursued to lead the BC Liberals and he immediately let it be known he would rather have all his teeth pulled then take over the titanic, then it was going to be Dianne Watts but we here at The Straight Goods debunked that rumour first.......And of course we know that Moira Stilwell threw her hat in the ring as a joke and a channel changer for the defunct BC Liberal party......And the rat pack, George bobblehead abbot, Rich Coleman, Mike De Jong, and Kevin Boo Hoo Falcon, none of those Campbell groupies stand a chance to win an election, but be rest assured it will be one of the RAT PACK, they are as tainted by Campbell as anyone, they will receive no support from an angry electorate......So now the rumour mill is saying Christy Clark(ain`t gonna happen folks, it`s gonna be Rich the Shank Coleman)....

Before I get started on Christy cluck cluck Clark,......Patrick Kinsella was the the person who placed Christy Clark at CKNW, there were two reasons why the higher ups in the BC Liberal party gave the Clucker a cushy gig at NW.

#1) Christy could day in day out promote the BC Liberal party.

2)Christy needed to be silenced over her role and knowledge of the BC Rail scandal, her Husband Mark Marrisen is up to his ankles in BC Rail, and yes folks, Christy Clark had a high flying lawyer paid for by the BC Government to shield her from testifying at the "Mock BC Rail Trial"....If Christy was innocent she would not have needed a lawyer along with hours and hours of coaching from the defence team. The NW gig was buying her silence!

3) To Give Clucker a voice and platform for future political ambitions.

Of course everything went to plan for the Campbell Liberals, BC Rail trial sham ended before any witnesses with functioning brain cells and memories had to testify, and indeed cknw gave the Clucking Christy a voice, and boy oh boy, not only does she have a voice but a big mouth, that my friends is the Achilles heel for Christy Clark.

The problem Christy has is her mouth, everything is on the record.

Remember these statements you made last week Christy Clark, you called everyone who signed the HST petition "TALIBAN"......."Bill Vander Zalm the leader of the Taliban".......Gee, that one will make a great sound bite and lawn sign! 

She hates school teachers, she hates school boards, she cackled away insulting and inciting hatred and anger towards public education, she is frothing at the mouth wanting to take away Fare passes for workers at BC Ferries so they can ride for free, she thinks that`s outrageous, what was outrageous was the last contract for ferry workers...A 5% increase over 7 years, but that my friends is but the tip of the iceberg for problems for Ms Clark....

For I have dozens and dozens of her on air gaffes on file.......Let me remind you of a few of them from this year alone...Christy Clark threw venom and a snide attitude towards the Mayor of Tofino(A tiny town on the wild west coast of Vancouver island) because the mayor and council of Tofino signed an order in council to keep big box stores and big chain outfits out of their town, Tofino is a quaint little town and their goal is to remain unique, in other words, they have clothes stores and coffee shops there already, they don`t need a Starbucks or a Zellers to put the local owners out of business.....Well, Christy Cluck was freaking out and literally calling Tofino out as acting illegal to the law....Obviously Christy has never been there or she would have kept her fat mouth shut! Christy believes like Campbell that towns have no rights, Christy did vote to strip power from all communities when she was in office.

Of course we know she hates Gregor Robertson and bike lanes,  she has literally accused him in not so many words of being a pot head and pot grower at his island home, maybe he does, I hope she can back it up.

I am no fan of Gregor but she was way over the top for a radio program.

There`s more, much more, Christy Clark thinks all roadside memorials should be removed, these memorials are where people`s loved ones have died, her excuse was that they`re ugly and a distraction to cars, well....Lets see Christy, flashing store lights, billboards, advertising, pedestians, I would say that those items are far more distracting than a little wreath of flowers and pictures, believe me folks, Christy is a vindictive money grubbing bitch, the gall of her to promote the wear pink against bullying when she ran roughshod over the mayor of Tofino, grieving relatives, slags teachers and school boards,.....Clark doesn`t believe in public education, she believes in private education and burning down, tearing down any school that isn`t at 100% capacity, she`s very short sighted!

Christy Clark is also against the new drinking driving penalties, she believes that drivers at .05  to .08 don`t cause accidents, glug glug glug.

And then there is BC Ferries, last year Christy Clark lied her face off on air about BC Ferries, she said that under David Hahn that BC Ferries was making $500 million dollars in profit, she also stated that the NDP neglected repairs to the existing fleet because they had no money left after the fast cat episode, utter lies, I of course called in to correct her on air and she was rude, disparaging and denied my claims that she was 100% wrong.

Well, I had just finished writing a series on BC Ferries, how they were drowning in debt, how they were barely making enough money to pay the interest on their $1.6 billion dollar debt let alone any of the priciple,......So on air Christy Clark defended the lies, and then.

And then I filed complaints to the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council(CBSC) ...I got documents from Debra Marshall of BC Ferries, these documents stated that the $500 million dollars BCFerries paid the Province was from a loan BC Ferries took out with German banks, the Campbell Government provided BC Ferries a debenture which they used to leverage a loan of $500 million dollars, The money from the loan and debenture Campbell put into general revenue and used to claim a balanced budget, the money wasn`t profit, Christy was spewing lies!

Well folks, we know what happened next, Christy cluck cluck had to retract on air, in other words she admitted she lied,....Gotcha again Christy.....And the part about Christy Clark being a vindictive bitch....She knew it was me that nailed her on BC Ferries, meanwhile I was still a regular all star caller on the cutting ledge show, Vaughn Palmer, Baldrey, Good, they knew I always had the Straight Goods and inside juice, but Christy told Nick W(nick on the controls) who answers the phone and brings Christy her coffee(I think he rubs her feet too) not to let me on the air on her program.

And that`s ok folks, it`s her right I guess, ....So now let`s fast forward to 2 weeks before the 2010 Olympic games...CKNW were giving away tickets to Molson Hockey House for opening night of the Olympics...Well, it was a Tuesday and Nick said, well take caller number 8 for two tickets to the Molson Hockey House, I waited 6 seconds, called in and lo n behold Nick answered the phone and said congratulations your caller number 8.

When I said great, I won, at that time Nick recognized my voice, Christy was in the background screaming at Nick to hang up on me, which he did, but before he hung up he called me names and said don`t ever, ever call here again, Christy Clark was all over Nick like white on rice!......I filed complaints to Tom Plasteras(program manager for cknw)....Tom Plasteras emailed me back the next day after he received my complaint and told me I would get my prize, ....Well there was no way Christy Clark would let that stand, she literally pulled her hair out with anger, Tom Plasteras caved in to the Diva Christy Clark, ...I never got tickets to Molson Hockey house, Tom Plasteras(the station) sent me tickets to see Don Rickles at the River Rock casino two months after the Olympics.....Christy got a partial victory....Like I said, Christy cluck cluck Clark is a vindictive bitch used to getting her way, she`s as big a bully as Campbell, why should I have been treated that way when I was absolutely right on BC Ferries and Christy was 100% wrong?

So as for Christy Clark running for premier, she has said hundreds of times, "I am in favour of the HST"....So if she was to run it would have to be on a pro-hst stance, so between her temper, her greed, her love of the HST, her dozens of lies on air have all but cooked her election victory chances, people might as well vote for Gordon Campbell because Christy Clark and Gordon Campbell are two peas in a pod, identical mind set, destroy public education, never raise the minimum wage, survival of the fittest....Well Ms Clark...I feel very fit this morning and I got mountains of dirt and words that you spoke to use against you.

Enjoy these links from my early archives 

One about the retraction the other about Christy Clark`s anger and not wanting to give me my prize

 This is the first installment on Christy Clark, she is a Campbell clone, vindictive, loves the HST, hates teachers, hates the poor, the needy, she`s a bully.........And Christy, this is just the tip of the iceberg...Christy Clark is...

Gordon Campbell and Bill the Shill Good Unplugged

As an avid listener of cknw for years, at one time I listened to that station for good honest talk radio but over the last 5 years that has all changed, I now listen to hear what lies and propaganda Bill Good, Cluck Cluck and their news department are spouting.

We know that Bill Good and Gordon Campbell are best friends and neighbors, I personally have been wondering if Bill Good gets a piece of the action, a cut of the BC Government advertising dollars Good`s friend Campbell directs to cknw....We know hundreds of thousands, no millions have been spent advertising the HST fraud on cknw, but could someone explain why ICBC is advertising on cknw, let me be crystal clear, ICBC can run ads in the form of public safety, for example, drive carefully in cold icy weather or perhaps a message from ICBC saying don`t drink and drive, that last one, I don`t think we are going to hear that ad anywhere from ICBC, not when Rich Coleman and Ian tostenson are telling people on TV and radio that "It`s ok to have a few drinks and drive".......

That last quote from Tostenson and Coleman might have something to do with ICBC`s ad they currently have running on cknw, perhaps since ICBC would normally be advertising to the public to not drink and drive, but since Gordon Campbell and Rich Coleman are promoting drinking and driving over the collapse of the bar business might explain ICBC tossing money at cknw....If you haven`t heard the ad.

Our tax dollars are paying for advertising on cknw, the ad is telling us that ICBC in 95% of accidents does not place blame on both sides.....That`s it folks, that`s the ad, why would they do that?

Why would ICBC spend hundreds of thousands of dollars advertising on cknw telling us that most accidents the blame goes to one party....It`s not like ICBC has any competition, they have none, you drive here you must insure through ICBC, there is zero competition, there is competition in the optional insurance side, but the optional insurance is for theft of contents, when a person is claiming on the optional side there is no blame to any party...

So the only thing I can gather is this ad from ICBC is a replacement ad for the normal...."Don`t drink and drive"  ad...An ICBC ad thrown CKNW`s way for absolutely no reason but to put money in the hands of Corus radio!

Makes sense to me with the Government promoting drinking driving that they certainly wouldn`t run counter ads saying don`t drink and drive.

The latest inflation numbers are out and B.C. and Ontario leads the way in increased prices on consumer goods, so much for the HST lowering prices, nothing has gone down in price, nothing, excuse me, one item has gone down in price, new luxury cars, when Campbell brought in the HST he threw a gift to his rich friends and removed the luxury tax on really expensive cars, so now the Ferrari buyer will save about $6000 dollars, yet the working stiff buying a used car is paying an extra 7% tax..

Bill Good had a focused open line about the HST today, there have been many focused open line on cknw on the hst, but in listening to the callers, the callers against the hst are not regular callers, they`re people, different people but the callers who claim to love the hst, callers like Hardy and Ken, I got to thinking, of the thousands of callers phoning cknw saying they love the hst over the last year, there really has only been about 20 callers supporting the hst, it`s the same tiny little pocket of callers who chime in on the tax over and over again,  it`s an illusion, just like the claim of price reductions, the hst is a scam, an obvious scam, no prices have dropped...

One caller called in and said booze taxes at restaurants have gone down, that`s true, the tax food joints charge on liquor was reduced by 2 points, yet Bill Good and the caller failed to mention that the province raised the floor price of booze to make sure they wouldn`t lose a dime, Bill Good knew that but deliberately failed to mention it....

It`s all media manipulation, remember the RCMP saying they had the pipe bomber Weibo Ludwig, the press conference, wag the dog, Ludwig turned out to be innocent, remember that other story that went viral, the one the media jumped all over, the Pitt Meadows gang rape, where did that story go, don`t get me wrong, I am not defending a bunch of drunk teenagers who filmed, watched while one girl and one older boy had sex in the feild, but that was the story, the media ran with it, like the Weibo Ludwig the media and RCMP had different motives, it was all about changing the channels on the Campbell crime family.

Moira Stilwell, she isn`t running for leader of the BC Liar party, it was another channel changer, she had no support team, no press conference, it was a Monday morning channel changer orchestrated by Bill Good and Gordon Campbell, she had no platform, no ideas except talk to the people and promote the HST, gee, what vision...

Back to the HST fraud about prices going down, ain`t gonna happen folks, the HST is a scam, there is zero imperical evidence that prices dropped anywhere the hst has been installed, yes that includes Atlantic Canada, in fact  prices rose in Atlantic canada with the implemetation of the HST....Last night on the National.....

Rumours months ago about cell phone fees dropping in Canada with new foreign competition, as you know we in Canada pay on average about $300 dollars more per year than almost every country in the world for cell phone service fees, Tony Clement was on the news last night, the Federal Government has now backtracked and Clement said they are putting a 2 year freeze before allowing outside/foreign competition into Canada.....In other words, the big Canadian telecoms, Rogers/Telus/Bell have chewed off Harper and Clement`s balls and put them in their place, so much for the free enterprise party.

Gordon Campbell charges money to schools, to hospitals, every regional district, everyone has to buy carbon offsets from the crown corporation, (Pacific carbon trust) ...Nothing but a scam folks, it`s not about being pro or con global warming, it`s about stealing money back from schools, hospitals, everyone, that includes the carbon tax on fuel, there will be no reduction in greenhouse gas emisions in BC, not when all the untaxed gas flaring is going on and the CABIN GAS PLANT in Northeast B.C. alone is adding 3% to the total carbon emissions of the Province, that`s right folks, the consumer carbon tax hasn`t reduced any fuel use, hasn`t changed anyone`s habits, yet one industrial project will add 3% to our total provincial emissions, there is nothing this Government has done that is honest, smoke in mirrors, we won`t tear up contracts, we won`t sell BC rail, 999 years leases, tax indemnities, how much has the Province paid for lawyers defending itself since 2001...I would gather it`s in the $billion dollar range, no wonder there is huge backlog in the BC Supreme court, perhaps we should create a special court,  a court designated to people and entities suing the Campbell Government, maybe then we can eliminate the huge backlog in our BC supreme court and give the people a chance to have their cases heard.

Gordon Campbell and his shill Bill Good....Don`t be fooled folks!

Laila Blonde Bomber Yuile`s Story on Shadow Tolls Goes National!

The Cult strikes again, the crazy zany bloggers(or is that boggers) beat the mainstream media again, Congrats Laila....Start talking Kevin Falcon!

Laila Yuile`s Shadow Toll story as posted in the Globe and Mail ...Here

And there is much much more, shadow tolls are bad enough but a $100 million dollar per year maintenance contract for 25 years, $300,000.00 dollars per day, 7 days a week, every damn day for 25 years!...Read it here

Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals to be Blown Out of Ontario!

Wow, what a crazy week, time to reflect on a couple of the hot issues, first off, despite the last inaccurate Evi Mustel poll the BC Liberals are 20 plus points behind the NDP......

That`s right folks, the next Angus Reid poll will prove me right, let me perfectly clear, despite the NDP infighting I can tell you that 99% of the poeople who voted for the NDP in the last election will vote for them again, yea I read opinions and comments from so-called NDPers who say if Carole James is still leader they will no longer vote for that party, HOGWASH, who are they going to vote for? The BC Liberals?...The Greens?....Independent?....

So that means the NDP have 42% of the voters already in their camp and I can assure you that 15% of Liberal voters will stay home, spoil their vote or vote Conservative, Liberal voters may never turn to the NDP but they are still smart enough to recognize that corruption has infested the Liberal party through all ranks, from Gordon Campbell using the Commons to make his friends rich to Campbell putting $millions of dollars into pockets of his  MLAs with new ministries, secretarial positions to Patrick Kinsella being paid because he`s Campbell`s friend to executives from BC Rail paid to remain silent. BC Liberal voters simply can`t endorse a party of lawbreakers,

None of the scandals are gone, serious questions on the tax indemnity to CN rail now estimated at $600 million dollars, the Basi/ Virk payoff....And there is still the matter of B.C. being the basketcase of Canada, a Province in tax limbo, there is also demands for Gordon Campbell to personally pay the $240 thousand dollars for his televised infommercial, and there are many more shoes to fall, have any of you been wondering why the second special prosecutor is taking so long with the Kash Heed election fraud case, I have, the second special prosecutor has a much easier task, the leg work has been done, the RCMP evidence is available....I can tell you that Kash Heed will be stripped of his MLAship, there is a deliberate stall going on before Heed is sent packing, the stall is waiting for good BC Liberal news to emerge, no such news is coming.

But what I really wanted to talk about is the upcoming election win of tim Hudak and the eradication of Dalton McGuinty and the Ontario Liberal party, Angus Reid has just completed a new poll and Dalton is history, McGuinty has been flipping and flopping like a circus de soleil performer and using weasel words, for example he recently announced a 10% reduction in residential hydro rates....Sounds good right? Except for one thing, hydro rates under McGuinty are forecast to rise by 46% over 5 years so this phony reduction will be used to partially offset the increase, what does that mean, it means Ontario rate payers won`t see a dime of reduction, it`s typical McGuinty/Gordon Campbell style Bullshit.....Remember what Hansen said about the HST before it came in....And I quote..."Some prices may go up after the HST is implemented but they would go up more without the HST" SNIP....I`m not sure what that means, gobbily goop from the king of weasel shit Colin Hansen.....Colin Hansen also lied about caucus firing bill Bennett when Campbell did, also Kash Heed defended Bill Bennett before the caucus meeting but Rich Coleman and Colin Hansen chewed off Heed`s balls just like they turned Jordan Bateman into a unick.....Hows that new bikini underwear working out for you Jordan?

But the elephant in the room in Ontario is the HST,McGuinty will be out of office soon, their election is around the time of our HST referendum, that is if we were having one, the BC Government will fall well before then through recall, oh indeed folks......

I hope you realize that the MSM media has been manipulating us again, one of our favorite contributers Crankypants(Cam)  got me thinking.....They are tricky bastards indeed, they flogged the heck out of phony Mustel poll, every half hour all weekend, Global news ran with it as did CTV, ....The poll is bunk, Evi Mustel knows her poll is bunk, when Cluck cluck had Evi Mustel on her program, Evi Mustel cited Campbell resigning as the reason for the surge of support, but her poll was done between November 4th and 15th...What was Campbell`s infommercial about last month, it was about a tax cut that was taken away on November 17/ a day after Bill Bennett`s confession, certainly the 15% income tax would be the only thing that would move a party`s poll numbers, money knows no allegiance, the tax cut was what the televised infommercial was all about, yet Evi Mustel never mentioned it once when she was on with Cluck cluck Clark last Friday, why didn`t Evi Mustel mention it? The tax cut question had to have been part of her poll, but with Mustel polls they give zero information, it`s easier to lie that way!....

Have a look at this mustel poll here

If you notice from that Mustel poll in the link above(propaganda)..It was April 14/2009...It had the NDP at 34% support and the BC Liberals at 52% support, a 17 point spread, but in the election one month later the spread was a mere 4 1/2 points....Nothing bad happened to the BC Liberals in the last month before the election, what could explain a poll with numbers that badly skewed?...Nothing, it was propaganda through polls, a Mustel specialty!.....And here is Mustel`s lastest poll

You will notice that the Mustel polls have no details of what questions they asked, nothing, their polls are a blank cheque!...Everytime Campbell wants a propaganda campaign heated up he calls evi Mustel and the main-stream-media and they launch a coordinated effort to spin the public....

Think about it friends, Bill Bennett`s tirade was the story, Campbell being a frothing spitball spewing womanizer was the story....Who cares what the NDP are doing, we had no fall session, the NDP can`t stop any bills because the Liberals have the majority, BC Liberals refuse to answer any questions in QP period or estimate debates, any NDP ideas are ignored or stolen, what I am saying is under our parlimentary system there is no need for an opposition, the media report nothing except what Campbell wants, in actuality, it`s really the media that is opposition to Government and there is no media in BC but us, Palmer,Baldrey, Vancouver Sun,Province,Global....They aren`t news, they`re infommercials for the BC Liberals..

All weekend, the news was about the NDP imploding, who cares what the NDP are doing, they don`t run Government, every NDPer could smash their chairs, scream and yell, vote united against Campbell`s Bills and Acts and it means nothing, they are a minority....Where is the media reporting about no fall session, no Governing, tax cut flip flop, $240K infommercial, where are the stooges to report on Colin Hansen`s 1000th lie this year, what about Kash Heed getting his balls chewed off....

This whole week was a coordinated effort in conjunction with a worthless garbage poll from Musty Crusty Evi Mustel....Look through the media manipulation friends, it`s an attempt to get us all fighting .....

It won`t work this time friends, BC is on-line and getting the news from us, from BC Mary, Ross K, Da House, the Tyee, Terrace daily news, Island tides, their games won`t work anymore, incumbents are falling like Dominoes, Ford who won in Toronto, The tea party movement down south, Shawn Graham getting slaughtered in New Brunswick, the Liberals tossed from Nova Scotia, McGuinty Liberals in Ontario will be reduced to third party status and the BC Liberals getting wiped off the map in B.C....

Don`t believe the bullshit friends, the NDP have a solid 45% of the vote, the Greens, the Conservatives, independents and 30% hardcore Liberal votes will result in 60 seats for the NDP...A few conservatives, a couple of independents and a handful of BC Liberal seats.

The carole James thingy will work itself out, we will win, and you know what folks,  they always talk about how the NDP is always fighting and eating each other, it`s true but there is a reason, NDPers care about the environment, we love children and families, we believe in the best health care for citizens, we believe in caring for the needy, the disabled, we believe the people of BC deserve the best regardless age, colour or economic class...

That`s why we fight friends, BC Liberals don`t fight because they only have one belief, steal from the public and fill theirs and their corporate friends pockets full of money and to hell with everything else....

Have a good look BC Liberals, your going down bigtime, Stephen Mcneil and the Liberals got roasted in Nova Scotia, Shawn Graham`s Liberals got punted out of New Brunswick, Dalton McGuinty`s Liberals will be eradicated in Ontario and Gordon Campbell and the BC Liberals to be jailed when the books are opened here in B.C....

(Just off the news wire, Ian Tostenson, head of the restaurant and foodservices association(BCRFA) is considering running for the BC Liberal leadership, no bull, I heard him say it on air!...HA HA!)

Carole James puts up a Fight, a Fight for her Position, Too bad she never fought for the Province!

So Carole James lashes out in anger, lashes out at party dissidents,.....I have never seen or heard that kind of anger expressed by Carole James once in the last decade......

So what spawned this anger, was it the ministry of children and family development erring and causing the death of an innocenct child, was the anger over a $600 million and growing tax indemnity we owe to CN Rail over the illegal theft of our railway...

Was this extroadinary anger over Campbell not raising the minimum wage in a decade, did she express this rage over Jane Thornthwaite`s drunk driving during the Olympics,  did she become infuriated over once again B.C. leading Canada with child poverty, was the outburst over a massive spike in food bank use, did Carole scream to the rafters about 5000 additional long term care beds promised by Campbell in 2001 that have yet to be delivered on, did she rage about the treatment of seniors and hospital closures, the dismantling of public education, has she demanded the Premier resign over habitual lies, over lying about our fiscal books, gag laws, the slashing of legal aid, the closure of 10 prisons and 25 courthouses since Campbell`s reign of terror began........


No friends, Carole`s new found anger and scathing critiques, her bravado, her drawing a line in the sand, her putting her foot down and saying...Saying she`s furious and won`t take it anymore, the new Carole James only learned to fight for herself.

If that doesn`t take the cake I don`t what will, let me be clear, Carole James cares about the Province but cares more about her leadership, a true leader would say...put it to a vote.....Let the majority speak, sure I have heard David Shreck and others talk about no new ndp leader has presented themself, why would they until a leadership vote or convention is called, Bob Simpson spoke out with mild criticism and Carole dusted him off, Gordon Campbell has announced his resignation and  still no new potential leader has come forward...

I suspect there will be a snap election called almost immediately when a new Liberal leader comes forward, recalls are going to bring down the BC Liberal Government, Kash Heed will be stripped of his MLAship soon, the BC Liberals will try and capitalize on a spark by their new leader and the NDP waffling and placating Carole James, the leadership growing pains must be resolved before the next ndp convention....If the ndp brass/riding associations, members call for a full blown leadership contest, let the chips fall where they may, if Carole James has the majority of support and wins a leadership contest I will support her....I will support whoever comes out on top...

You can`t threaten people Carole, you can`t force people to like you, Campbell tried to shove his love for us down our throats, he threw money at us to buy favour, the bottom line is you can`t turn the public perception around, like Campbell, Carole James has been in the political scene for a long time, whatever BCers think about Carole James now will not change, a new shade of lipstick and new perfume won`t mask the past or draw voters to her, Carole is smart enough to know that.....

Carole`s new rage should have been present before the last election, my gawd, how much ammo did the NDP have, what a pathetic campaign was run, not the individuals but the backroom brains were in a coma, I mean really, the raising of the price of beer in the NDP campaign, that one critical error cost the NDP the Mission riding, Caribou, Comox Valley, Kamloops....

Carole should have raged at Campbell during the writ period of our last election, she should have called him an habitual liar, the hell with being politically correct, she should have had lawn signs saying...There is nothing honourable about premier Campbell....

The friends I associate with, average Joes, they have opinions of Carole James, my brother inlaw Larry thinks she sounds like a nagging wife...My friend Mike calls Carole James... finger nails scratching a chalk board.

Carole James stomped Gordon Campbell in the televised T.V. debates in both 2005 and 2009  yet it did nothing for her.

The ndp party must call  a full blown leadership campaign, there is more at stake than bruised egos and personal pride, the well being of our Province is on the line, we can`t afford the takeover of British Columbia by Corporations and shareholders, if the BC Liberals win the world of scorched earth abusers will be crawling all over our land.....

The line in the sand was drawn a deacde ago by Howe street and the media, they vowed then to never let the ndp Govern, by hook, by crook, by lies and propaganda, despite the Liberal party swirling the toilet bowl the Howe streeters haven`t forgot that pledge, the media, radio, the stooges have attacked Carole James like an ICBC lawyer attacking a claim,  now the Vancouver Sun, The Province, Bill Good, Cluck Cluck Clark, Palmer, Baldrey, Les Leyne, Tom Felcher fletcher, eveyone with Global/Canwest(now Blackpress or whatever) Shaw, cknw ...Everyone of those people and entities attacked Carole James until......

Until there was talk of a new ndp leader and all of a sudden Carole James is the only one to lead the party, they use phrases and words like political suicide, crazy, insane, stupid.....

Open your eyes Carole, don`t believe the spoonfed garbage, .....Are you that stupid...Have you not seen the PAB directives to promote Carole James at all costs!...Have you not heard BC Liberal MLAs say they want you around for the next election...

If you hang on Carole James, if you lose the next election, do you think an apology to the poor children of British Columbia will suffice?

(UPDATED HERE)  12:35PM...Carole James survives the first round...Good for her....Hear me cleary Carole James....your new found anger, aim it at the BC Liberals, start exposing the truth, start yelling, calling press conferences, start calling the LIARs liars.....To hell with parlimentary language, you want to beat the BC Liberals, get down in the gutter where they live, take it to them, you might want to start with the Laila Yuile`s shadow toll story, and preferably before the story goes National!
