Diggin' With Dave

Where's Johnnnnnnyyyyyy?

Premier Gordon Campbell joined (left to right) Tewanee Joseph of the Four Host First Nations Society, Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan, Federal Minister for the Olympics David Emerson and VANOC chair Jack Poole for the official groundbreaking ceremony for the athletes village for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver.



Now that Smilin' Sammy has cleared the tracks of all things progressive in SE False Creek, it looks like it's time to get down to some serious gold diggin'.

However, we couldn't help but wonder why Mr. Emerson's partner in floor crossing, the esteemed Mr. John Reynolds, wasn't on hand for the photo-op.

Could it be the all those uppity voters up the hill in Vancouver Kingsway have clouded the optics and temporarily prevented a much rumoured appointment of Mr. Emerson's newfound 'right'-hand man to the VANOC board?

If that is indeed the case we the disenfranchised voters of that riding certainly would like to apologize for any and all difficulties our undue uppityness may have caused Mr. Emerson and his 'Team'.

Update: Couldn't help but notice this morning that a lot of the 'De-Elect The Gold Digger' signs have come down along King Edward. Does this mean that Mr. Emerson will soon be allowed to come out from behind the long arm of Mr. Poole in future perfect public-private photo-ops (ie. P3-Poo)?
