Is he in school? <br />If he is, IN MY OPINION, he's writing this, as he is, to get himself a J O B.<br /><br />This is about money and given he has been out of politics for some time perhaps he needs the money. It is doubtful he has had a "come to jesus moment", so its about money or a job. he sat on his hands while it was going on because he didn't want to loose money/job. Once a whore always a whore. O.K. whores do work for their money and provide a service. What some of those Socred/B.C. Lieberals did to earn their money is still beyond me, except make life good for some of their "friends" and destroyed the lives of other. o.k. I'm still not over it. <br /><br />It was during this time I started writing letters to the editor and was able to have them published once a week in the local papers and on occasion in Post Media publications if they weren't "too" critical of the B.C. Lieberals. To this day it still bothers me that people just sat around and let these things happen to children and the disabled. Don't think I'll ever get past Christy Clark saying the province couldn't afford to let children keep the child support from the non custodial parent. She said the province "needed" the $14M savings. There are still times when I think about it, I want to puke. She ought to be in jail for child endangerment. On the other hand the voters of this province appear to have been good with it because no one tried to "recall" her and there weren't massive protests in the streets about it either. At least in Ontario there appear to be more protests regarding the cut backs than we had in B.C.<br /><br />None of what went on during these years impacted me or mine, but just to have watched what happened to the disabled and children during the time frame......its the same sort of thing, the Republicans are doing to Latino children in camps. Its different things, but in the end it has the same effect, children are damaged for life and some die because of government action/inaction. <br /><br />After this rant, I goggled Abbott. Yes, he is graduating with a PhD. He is most likely trying to clean up his image and get a JOB. In my opinion, his type don't usually write these types of things unless there is an ulterior motive and something in it for themselves. <br /><br />time to look at the roses in the garden.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-76226020123454493662019-06-15T10:35:45.523-07:002019-06-15T10:35:45.523-07:00Check out social procurement policy under current ...Check out social procurement policy under current government.

The "investigation" seemed to be stacked with B.C. Liebercon insiders. <br /><br />Bathrooms in some hospitals were so dirty, patients would go to the lobby, and use the public bathrooms because they were cleaner. Some patients would have family member clean the beds and surroundings once they were admitted. finding some one else's blood on the bed wasn't uncommon. <br /><br />Those contracts still are in force. It will be a very good thing when the NDP gets rid of them and starts hiring their own workers again. Many hospital cleaners are tired all the time, they work two jobs to stay afloat. How can they do an adequate job? <br /><br />When a family member was in hospital last year, the R.N. had to clean the bathroom before the patients could use it. An R.N. at $70K a year cleaning toilets because there was no cleaner on the floor yet. that is not how you run a hospital. The NDP has made great strides in health care, but that is one thing they might want to get around to. Dirty hospitals lead to more deaths. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-80074357462124392222019-06-14T18:47:55.648-07:002019-06-14T18:47:55.648-07:00They were/are monster.

If the law was useful they would have charged el gordo, Abbott and the rest with some thing along the lines of accessory to murder. The fact children and adults died wasn't an accident. <br /><br />The MSM media made their own contributions to the disaster and death. they didn't do their jobs as reporters/journalists, etc. One could say in their silence they were complicit. <br /><br />May they all rot in hell (if there is one).<br /><br />During all of this, it were the community activists and bloggers who reported the truth.<br /><br />For those living in Ontario, they might want to pay attention. Ford did hire el gordo as his advisor and what is going on there isn't an accident. Its just the people in Ontario are a tad smarter than those in B.C. Ontario citizens have taken to the streets to protest.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-27942391423942075362019-06-14T10:23:25.847-07:002019-06-14T10:23:25.847-07:00Abbott wants to make me gagAbbott wants to make me gagGlen Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225195536266477648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-6626609230925927292019-06-14T08:34:03.608-07:002019-06-14T08:34:03.608-07:00BC?-hospital deaths from c difficile possibly due ...BC?-hospital deaths from c difficile possibly due to contract flipping?<br /><br />Fed?-possibly overloaded train death dereailment possibly due to overloading?ie too long of a train?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-72060329962086246822019-06-14T08:33:54.183-07:002019-06-14T08:33:54.183-07:00Ross
