While British Columbians Get Burned....

...G_Campbell Tweets


And tells us that, yes, as others have suggested, he really just might be going all in on the Rob Fordian Bluster Bandwagon, FI-style, by gunning for local school boards...

What is the school system going to do with a child that has mental handicap and can not read by grade 4? Lie!

NVG--

Surely you jest.

Because....

They'll send 'em to a privatized minimum-wage staffed daycare, of course!

I always wondered what one of those tweet things looked like. Sad to think Gordon Campbell might be hipper than me. I may have to change my Chief of Staff too.

RossK said...

Beer--

Thing is.....Even kids in Grade 4 that can't really read and write good(er) can Tweet just fine in the private pre-school economy.

Or some such thing.

(and why you gonna change your chief of staff?...do you have car insurance difficulties too?)

My present Chief ogf Staff has not advised me to go Twitter although she has advised I do several things that sort of rhyme with twitter.

I don't know why but I'm listening to the Great Campbell again, just to make sure I heard him correctly on the topic of hst.

He said, in his speech tonight, that BC businesses were comparing themselves to INTERNATIONAL businesses, but Campbell has always maintained that it was because Ontario was getting on the hst bandwagon, therefore British Columbia had to get on the same wagon otherwise Ontario would be one step ahead of businesses in BC.

He can't have it both ways, that's not why the HST was snuck in after the provincial election.

NVG--

But he did slip Ontario in there too tonight....And that was the real bizarre thing....He was just shoving everything the handlers could think of into the 22 minutes....It was really quite bizarre....I thought it would be much more focussed and would play to the base....It was actually the opposite...Kinda like a throne speech rather than an address from a pol that is doomed without a game-changer....

Hey Ross. I'm betting our insurance experienced new chief of staff will quickly use his better than the last guy's memory to try to reward his old pals in Cowtown with some more royalty subsidies... You know to get more land sale fees and things happening. And remember that this guy was right there with Klein making sure royalties stayed low so Alberta can also feel some financial pain too. Just imagine if they had put some in the bank. Will we pay out another half million when he quits this time??? Just what does he know anyway???

Well there are knowns we don't know, and there are known knowns that we do know.

And one thing we do know for sure is the fact that Mr. Taylor knows Fang's phone number.
