“Christy, Mike here. I need to touch base...“Yallo?”<br />“Christy, Mike here. I need to touch base with you on this Prosperity Fund thing in my mandate letter.”<br />“Shoot.”<br />“Well, I’m thinking it might not be such a good idea until we have something to, …you know, …put in it.”<br />“Don’t worry about that. We’ll have a couple more announcements about Petrocan by then and we can promise to fill it with billions soon. The rubes’ll buy it, trust me.”<br />“It’s Petronas.”<br />“Whatever. Look, you’re on board ‘cause you’re good at gettin the job done without leavin any of our DNA around. Just stick to that and we’ll handle the promisin and PR stuff. How’d you like the piece on you we set up in the Sun? Better’n the one on me in the Globe, eh?”<br />“Yeah. Glad he didn’t mention finding me in the sheep barn with…”<br />“Drop it. He didn’t get pictures, so it’s fixed.”<br />“Too bad Gwyn has pics of your…”<br />“I said drop it.”<br />“Okay, okay. Back to this Prosperity thing, …can I at least put a couple hundred million or so in to start the thing off with?”<br />“Come on, Mike. We don’t have to. They buy promises and denials; you know that. Besides, we stick anything in there we’ll have to listen to Stephanie whining about those damn kids again. Sometimes I…”<br />“Gotta go.

Somehow they have been able to get further in the approval process on this goofy project such that it is slated to go ahead this fall despite hundreds of valid arguments against. That BC Liberal connection is very valuable....to everyone except us peons that are footing the bill....both the environmental bill and the financial bill. motorcycleguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-31613658151034523022015-06-24T09:34:37.995-07:002015-06-24T09:34:37.995-07:00Indeed....This article appeared in the Globe n Mai...Indeed....This article appeared in the Globe n Mail yesterday..<br /><br />__________<br /><br />Petronas agrees to conduct more studies on B.C. terminal’s impact<br /><br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/bc-politicians-returning-to-legislature-to-tackle-lng-law-for-proposed-plant/article25078477/<br /><br />__________<br /><br />Petronas has political ties to the BC Liberal government..They are each polishing each other`s apples..<br /><br />Spencer Sproule is Petronas`s lead media contact person...Spencer Sproule is a BC Liberal henchman..He worked for Christy Clark and the BC Liberals a mere three years ago...How he went from being employed by the BC Liberals to suddenly working for Petronas is not a mystery..In fact I believe the BC Liberals are jointly paying his wages..<br /><br />Back to the Globe n mail article...Petronas is starting the slow climbdown on their project..However, the ties between Spencer Sproule/BC Liberals and Petronas is unique...This climbdown will not be an outright cancellation, it will be a lingering death allowing the BC Liberals to keep afloat this LNG fantasy...<br /><br />Petronas...As it is, they couldn`t build an LNG plant and start shipping gas before 2021, let alone 2019...Thus they would be in default with their promised deliverables..<br /><br />Meaning those contracts for Petronas LNG are now nulkl and void...<br /><br />The Globe article talks about Petronas re-studying the effects on eelgrass and salmon habitat..Code for a company ordered project delay..This will end the federal environmental assessment, ..The federal assessment must be completed within 365 days or it`s null and void..<br /><br />The BC Liberals will continue to ride the unicorns ubtil bucked off..<br /><br />The quick rush to sit in the legislature is pure smoke designed to fool the public..<br /><br /> Ross K...<br /><br />The Straight Goods has been all over this topic...<br /><br />The thing people need to remember...Petronas and the BC Liberals are operating as one, each trying to prop each other up through spin..<br /><br />Lastly...Petronas is in financial trouble, wages slashed, Malaysian government revenues slashed, capital spending slashed..Dubious projects are being slashed..<br /><br />Cheers...Stat tuned<br /><br />Grant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.com
