Those were voters they could always count on.

Essentially it is a detailed musing about how I was worried that the James' Gang labour mollification policy at the time left them open on the left side, particularly wrt to the Environment....How's that for prescient given what happened later, especially in 2009, with the selling of the carbon tax, which was presaged, if you will recall, by the red herring that was Ms. Jame's 'gas guzzling' plane trip up the coast to look at the run-of-river land raping that could not be seen by the media herd who complained about the bumpy ride and their queasy stomachs.<br /><br /><br />.RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-38614359492774771662012-01-26T19:24:25.794-08:002012-01-26T19:24:25.794-08:00Your comment about what popped up as the fourth au...Your comment about what popped up as the fourth authority really made me laugh because I too have had the experience of reading lots of what I have written in the past and not remembering it at all.Eleanor Gregorynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-7536598865146778512012-01-26T08:46:22.471-08:002012-01-26T08:46:22.471-08:00Christy Clark really does resemble Snooki.

Harper is running Canada, on his Northern Foundation Party, he founded in 1989.<br /><br />The Campbell/Clark BC Liberals, aren't Liberals either. Campbell works for Harper, he is Harper's favorite henchmen. Now we have another favorite Harper henchmen, Boessenkool who will take over from Christy. Boessenkool lobbied for Enbridge.

I don't think a BC Lib party that tacked into hard right territory would appeal to the current mood of the electorate - or the mood anytime. Cummins support now are just the diehards that vote that way regardless. What's in play is the squishy middle Christy was supposed to appeal to. Alas.
