"I'm bursting with pride, for the quietly heroic Gitk'a'ata First Nation at Hartley Bay BC. I heard one of them say, "Nobody took charge. Each person did everything they possibly could." Even children. Even elders. Even in the dead of night in the middle of a storm at sea. Heroes, every one of them. I'd like so very much to know that this marvelous community is thanked and appreciated and remembered for this. Here's one idea. British Columbia needs a new ferry in a hurry. The last BC-built ferries were christened Spirit of British Columbia and Spirit of Vancouver Island. Wouldn't it be great to see a B.C.-built ship serving that northern route, honouring those wonderful people, as "The Spirit of Hartley Bay."

While Vaughn Palmer gave it to both sides today, he did throw an extra high hard one at the LINOs: "Plus the Liberals insisted that this be an exercise in "alternative service delivery," meaning time was spent exploring whether a private operator was interested in providing the northern services." Enough with the craptactular weasel words already! It's called privatization, pure and simple. And if that is what your radical ideology tells you that you must do at least have the guts to come out and say it to us straight-up. Sheesh, these ChickenCons sure can be infuriating.
