Lieberals are so out of touch with real life, they probably believe their own press. <br /><br />On the other hand, they do want to keep their supporters happy and they aren't those living on disability pensions of $908 per month. <br /><br />Children whose parents are on welfare are still living at 50% below the poverty line.<br /><br />The budget does nothing to improve their lot in life. I'm an atheist, however, if I'm wrong and there is a heaven or hell, I do hope the B.C. Lieberal caucus goes to hell for they have forced many in this province to live in it now. <br /><br />No child deserves to live in the poverty Christy and her B.C. Lieberals force them to. I do wonder what a bunch of doctors would say about the health and bodies of the children who have now grown up in this type of poverty for 10 years. it would be interesting to get a report on that. Then perhaps those children could sue the provincial government. <br /><br />It is not nice to wish pestilence and pain on anyone, but you know those B.C. Lieberals would deserve some of that stuff just for what they have done to some people in this province. <br /><br />the photo op queen said they had to "grow the economy" before the could raise welfare and disability rates. Well she has $100 M. for a "prosperity fund" so I'd say we have "grown the economy" even if she is being less than truthful. We did grow the economy enough to spend $600M on films, $100M for tech stuff, $15M for music. Kids at 50% below the poverty line, nothing. I guess the B.C. Lieberals don't know what children are. Well they are young human beings who can't go out and get a job, because they are too small and/or young. <br /><br />One of these days even Keith and the rest of them will figure out we are Detroit North.<br /><br />e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-37271145253733639452016-02-20T11:46:31.359-08:002016-02-20T11:46:31.359-08:00Paul has confirmed, via the Twitmachine, that this...Paul has confirmed, <a href="http://pacificgazette.blogspot.ca/2011/08/this-really-should-be-no-ones-british.html" rel="nofollow">via the Twitmachine,</a> that this was the scandal he was referring to.<br /><br />He also pointed out that Mr. Kines' work put a stop to ridiculous sudden practice of throwing adult disabled folks out of group homes they had been in for years and, in some cases, decades.<br /><br />______<br /><br />Haven't heard from 'lynx' for awhile, but folks tend to pop back up sooner or later.<br /><br />Heckfire!....Even heard from Lenin's Ghost the other day.<br /><br /><br /><br />.RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-91328946957578020442016-02-19T22:37:33.737-08:002016-02-19T22:37:33.737-08:00Thanks Ross for following up with PW on the develo...Thanks Ross for following up with PW on the developmentally disabled funding, and for linking to your previous post.
