The UK election silenced all the critics in BC. In Britain they have to work together now - at least to some degree. If the LG in BC is corrupted that will not prove well for the governing party at the time...calling a snap election because they are throwing a hissy fit.

The "government" purchased tens of millions of ads promoting everything from a to z in the Vancouver Sun and Province. In some editions there were as many pages of "news" as there were ads by the "provincial government". In turn the Vancouver Sun/Province were silent regarding all nasty matters concerning the B.C. Lieberals. What did we hear after each of the 8 children died in care of Christy and stephane? Not much. did they do an editorial about it so or look into it? Not so much. the Vancouver Sun and Province were more like a press release organization for the B.C. Lieberals. the New York Times covered this province better than the Vancouver Sun and Province. Global T.V. another press release organization for the B.C. Lieberal/Provincial government. All the MSM pundits were silent regarding the carrying ons of Christy and her cabal. Just wait how they come alive once the NDP/Greens are in office. <br /><br />while the disabled were required to live on $908 per month plus $21 plus bus pass, what did we hear from the MSM, not so much if anything. Did we hear much from the MSM about B.C. having one of the highest rates of child poverty in Canada, not so much, so don't expect anything from the MSM. If you want the news you read the New York Times, the blogs and oh, from time to time the Kelowan Courier.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-61147404382642141142017-06-11T14:38:17.664-07:002017-06-11T14:38:17.664-07:00It's never been about responsible government, ...It's never been about responsible government, just being returned to government. The LNG fiasco was just that, and only that, from the moment it was conceived. There are no markets for LNG, even for those countries who had already built the infrastructure and stockpiled this resource. The Liberal plan was never about sound fiscal management and investment, and the media really had a responsibility to keep the BC voters more informed on this before so much taxpayer money was squandered on fantasy-based "re-election" promises. Hoping the media will be more objective when it comes to the Site C dam and other energy related initiatives.

Of course then we can expect a large increase in the sales tax. <br /><br />With the debts outstanding at B.C. Hydro it maybe very difficult for the NDP/Green coalition to provide the health care changes we need. Lets hope they first let us all know how deeply in debt the B.C.

Certainly incessant anti-socialist rhetoric featured for decades when the CCF-cum-NDP wasn't in power. However, I don't recall either NDP regime reciprocating with alarming anti-capitalist rhetoric whilst in power, a favour the vanquished Social Credit party probably didn't deserve. Yet, as sure as any official opposition resorts, short of real power, to heightened ideological rhetoric from time to time, the opposition BC Liberals not only made it a full-time habit (Christy and Kevin being the most zealous), but continued through each of four majorities, not simply during intermittent elections, perfunctorily as a matter of course with volume and vitriol that makes Wacky seem a quaint gentleman. Indeed, I've often rankled at the dipper habit of not punching back but, really, isn't it plain everybody's tiring of partisanship bumping more important things off the agenda simply for its own sake?<br /><br /> Still, it's an irrefutable fact the NDP never got ahead (the past two contests in comparison should settle the matter convincingly) by affecting 'positive politics,' as much as dipper egg-heads might wish it so.<br /><br />Nevertheless, nobody condones perfunctory slaying of political enemies as a first order of business for victors of democratic elections, reminiscent, as it is, of a bygone time when political opposition was equally as violent, the check and balance on any new government nowadays being the whim of half a disaffected and uninformed electorate which can just as easily expose the party to vengeance as cold as any settling of scores, especially those executed for the sake of partisanship only.<br /><br /> Now subtract partisan vengeance and see if the plain old rue of law applies. This is really the situation with the BC Liberals: partisan ideology aside, the plain breaches of public trust have to be addressed else they licence even more---by any governing party--- and, in the case of the worst government BC's ever had, else they licence deeper and deeper forays into the pit of iniquity in order to frustrate opportunities of investigation and prosecution of wrongs if and when a new regime finally breaks this unproductive, downward spiral.<br /><br />To be just and prove nonpartisanship, public inquiry into BC Liberal sabotage of public enterprises like BC Hydro needs to be carried out by a competent court, judicial or quasi-judicial mandated to recommend prosecution if and where required. If the GDP forms government, it only has razor-thin room to manoeuvre and there are so many other things needing attention. The main thing is to show more clearly than BC Liberal-friendly MSM and good but noise-ensconced social medium that the rules apply to all parties and people regardless partisanship. <br /><br />Never mind that man slopping the results of forensic inquiry up on highway-side billboards so the disaffected can't avoid seeing how justice and the rule of law works for everyone, not just for left or right; never mind that the sextons hum jauntily as their shovels clank through the stones of the boneyard---it works just as well for any party and if it just happens to be the BC Liberals' funeral, it means they deserved it and it was proved. Never mind that the electorate might also condemn the MSM enablers of a blatant and vicious cycle of neo-right perfidy: they'd deserve as much if they'd been critics instead of proclaimers. Citizens might approve throwing them in there too.<br /><br />"I'll follow your casket/ On a pale afternoon/ I'll watch while you're lowered/ Down to your deathbed/ And I'll stand o're your grave/ 'til I'm sure..." <br /><br />excerpted from "Masters of War" by Bob DylanScotty on Denmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-30273021380101135212017-06-10T07:55:25.201-07:002017-06-10T07:55:25.201-07:00Great article by David Bond!

(Thanks Ross!!)<br /><br />Great to see some good analysis in a newspaper (of all places) about the state of the BC economy and the devastating role of the BC Liberals "governing" for the past 16 years. (Actually looting the province for their cronies would be more accurate).<br /><br />Rumor has it that the big money types refuse to accept the democratic alliance between the Greens and the NDP, with 44 seats and 57% of the popular vote. All that big money can't afford to have the NDP and Greens govern even for six months and start cleaning up the province.<br /><br />I predict a snap election this summer. <br /><br />The BC Liberals must be pretty confident that the "independent" LG is going to fall into line since they are in election mode right now with campaign style tweets, campaign style events and raking in the dough from their corporate henchmen. <br /><br />---otrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-90444865711441297022017-06-10T05:24:23.283-07:002017-06-10T05:24:23.283-07:00With Brad Bennett living in Kelowna, expect a 1, 2...With Brad Bennett living in Kelowna, expect a 1, 2,3.. smear against Mr. Bond.
