The N Word

Prince George, British Columbia
53°53' North; 122°40' West

The red meaters on the bridge of the SS Gordo are in a tizzy because the guy that said the following is back, nipping at their heels:

"...My principal concern however, is not with Accenture's integrity or competence but with the transfer of control over BC Hydro's operations to a private firm, accountable only to the government, under an agreement whose terms are confidential. I had surmised that the government understood the overt privatization of BC Hydro to be unpalatable to the public so that it could not at this time be mandated by legislation.......Proceeding in the face of such public opposition, betrays an extraordinary arrogance on the part of the government....."

That was Paul Nettleton in 2002.

And because of that defense of the public interest Mr. Nettleton, MLA from Prince George - Omenica, was (self?) ejected from the Liberal caucus.

Nettleton was back in the (cbc) news today saying that not only would he run again, but that this time around he would switch ridings, move across town, and challenge Minister of Something or Other, Shirley Bond, for her seat.

Rumor has it that, after she had finished going white as a sheet, Ms. Bond was heard to exclaim, "It won't change the way I run my campaign one bit."

Here's hopin'.
