Bob Mackin has finally, after much CClark regime playing out of the clock, unearthed the cabinet minutes from GordCo, Inc's first 100 days from the summer of 2001.
There's some interesting stuff in there as Uncle Bob has noted over at his place.
However, most of it, at least the portions that haven't been s.14 censored, is banal in the extreme.
Although it was interesting to see when, exactly, the BC Liberal government first started to plan their war on teachers' collective bargaining rights.
With the first tentative 'informative' shot apparently fired by, you guessed it....

No mention, at least not that I noticed based on a fast (non-ferried) first pass, of the coming BC Rail privatization....Although, as we previously noted, things were already starting to happen on that front by the fall of 2001 a scant few months after BC Rail hired a certain very, very fine fellow (who also just happened to have been the BC Liberal party's campaign co-chair during the 2001 election cycle) to provide it with 'strategic advice' at $6,000 per months for a mere 49 months...Imagine that!
The last link, above, comes from the invaluable historical archives of Sean Holman's now long gone 'Public Eye'...As you might expect, Mr. Holman, who now lives east of the Rockies, already has a link to Mr. Mackin's latest up on his twittmachine feed.

Shouldn't do these rapid fire posts while simultaneously writing stinking grants!

After the election of the 1st incarnation of the New Crony Party, I had a conversation with a Head Cheese type, BC Liberal insider…it was just after 911. The BC Liberals were portending that the shadow of the apocalypse was falling across the land…
I told the insider if indeed things are so dark, the last thing the economy needed was a downer message. They thought about it and completely agreed.
The chief achievement of Christy Clark, is how her happy stories worked so well for the BC Liberals, that is until she stopped believing them herself.

Not many want to hoist a one with a pedant…
Passion, urgency, and a sense of the absurd, is something someone who lacks a spontaneous soul can't comprehend.
Lucille Ball said, If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it….
Don't waste time on perfection (outside the bunker), perfection annihilates joy and creativity.
I'd rather humiliate myself for the ages, then let my responsibilities deep six my political junkieism.
Funny how CC wanted to make teaching an essential service and the she later locked them out at the very end of the school year
Anon-Above--
Funny, indeed.

it is funny Christy thought education was an essential service when she never wanted to adequately fund it, in the public school system. of course her idea of education and some one else's might be as vast as the divide between Trump and normalcy
