Layne in one of his better columns notes the Campbell is in a terrible spot.

The Liberals are hoping that anger is temporary and you’ll just get used to the HST.  After all, there is two and three quarter years to go in his term right?

They are in territory that the NDP were in when they were decimated at the polls.  Joy and Jenny was all there was.

What to do?  There is no winning this one. Even if Campbell steps down in disgrace,  there is nobody to step up and revitalize the party.

Like two peas in a pod. They both suck...

Then he took aim at the lack of noise from the NDP over revelations that Ida Chong was taking every single penny the legislature allows.  Her meal allowance for someone living locally, minutes away from home, shows an utter contempt for the state of the BC economy.

The fact that the NDP didn’t speak up?  Well they are two peas in a pod aren’t they?  Both exactly the same and playing from the same play book.

Voting for either one continues the insanity.

They are little more than liars, cheats and thieves.

HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH YET?

The Main Stream Media (MSM) is at it again.

Does anybody remember the cries of foul when the NDP fudged the deficit figures so very long ago?

Well the Liberals are getting a free ride in the media and it’s being noticed by the Tyee, an online periodical with a large following.

http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2010/07/12/FudgeBudget/

This is fiscal mismanagement at it’s worst.

Then ad to this the statements by the Finance Minister that the mailouts and ads on the radio are necessary to counter the so-called misleading statements made by Anti-HST forces around the province.

Okay Finance Minister, HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST BC???  Huggie Hansen does not know.  You’re the finance minister, a businessman, and you don’t know???

No wonder the Province of BC is teetering on insolvency.

BC Refederation suggests a forensic audit of BC’s books to find out the truth of how far the Liberals have sunk us in the hole.

Owe-lympic debt is costing us billions when Campbell promised us 6oo Million.

Trade and Convention Center was nearly a billion dollars and is largely unbooked.  A bigger white elephant than the Fast Cats.  The cost overrun on this facility dwarfed the Fast Cats by double!!

They have made contractual obligations equal to $53 Billion.

These are the fiscal giants who you elected  (if you voted for them or didn’t bother to vote).  These guys are mismanaging BC.

I am honestly afraid to promise anything based on these reports.

But what I can promise,  is an end to rule by UNCONTROLLED POLITICIANS.

Direct Democracy in the first sitting as government.

A committee of Citizens to draft a no holds barred constitution of and by the people.

Renegotiation of things federal which directly impact on the sovereignty of BC.  It’s time BC got a fair shake within Confederation.

Join BC Refederation today.  And make as large a donation as you can.  We need to get ready for the next elections.  By-elections resulting from Recalls.  And of course the next general election.

DONATE

It’s a feeling shared by so many as we approach the start date of the HST and we still don’t have a Democratic answer to it.

The ANTI-HST PETITION due to be submitted early on the 30th rather than on the 5th of July, really exemplifies BC Refederation’s  belief that BC is ready for a change democratically.

No wonder voter apathy is at an all time high in Canada.

SWITZERLAND also has high voter apathy during general elections.  It’s not important to them who runs and is elected.  WHY??? They have absolute control of their politicians.  Politicians are elected as part time employees and are part of a proportional representational system.  But because they CONTROL their politicians, it doesn’t matter WHO the elect. Their frequent initiatives, direct government policy.  The people vote and the vote is BINDING on the government to implement.

The more I look into the Swiss system, the more I fall in deeper love with it and wonder when we are going to have this for ourselves?

IT’S OUR TURN BC!!!  Look to Switzerland for hope!!

We at BC Refederation used them as our model. Join today and support real change.

Carole James and BC Refederation Leader Mike Summers

NDP Leader Carole James was in Vanderhoof  on June 15 and invited Mike Summers to meet with her.

Meeting was short and pleasant.

However, when asked direct questions on whether she would scrap the HST when/if she assumed power, she said the party would have to have a discussion with the people on the issue.  She would not say that she is against it.

Oh really???  Then what is she doing about this?  Can you say political opportunism?  The NDP is letting the BC Liberals self destruct, which by the way they should.

But not wanting to quash this is dishonest Ms James.

Then Ms. James was asked about getting Federal Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty to back off implementation of the HST until after the HST petition had been vetted and finally disposed of by the people.  It was suggested that using her profile, she might add weight to the letter Mike Summers wrote to Jim Flaherty on June  10th.

Instead of saying yes to the request, she said she would defer it to the Federal Wing of the NDP.

Mike has been in direct contact with Nathan Cullen whose riding has overwhelmingly supported the Anti-HST petition.  So far there has been no response from him on the issue.

On the topic of the Carbon Tax, she was asked if she would do away with it.  She said that there was discussion about it before the election and the people spoke and re-elected the Liberals.  “But I won’t keep increasing it either.”

Small consolation to people living in the north and to truckers who are hit hard with the punishing tax.

It is clear, that while Carole James is a nice lady, she will continue to tax British Columbians with taxes brought in by the Liberals.

Now more than ever, the people of BC need the BC Refederation Party.

Because of the sorry state of our province’s position due to the insanity of the Olympics that Campbell is dragging BC into so that he can have a name of some sort, I am normally against making a promise that I cannot keep.

BUT!!!  I am prepared to promise the following.

If elected by the voters of Nechako Lakes, I promise to re-instate the one thing that I know Gordon Campbell did right… At least at first.

When Gordon Campbell was first elected to govern BC, he created something to highlight the terrible wasteful ways of the NDP. It was a smashing success. Waste in every layer of governance was quickly identified and held up as more examples  of  why the NDP were not a good party for governing.

Then something unplanned for happened. Gordon Campbell’s own government began to show signs of wasteful ways. My goodness!! What should a governing body like his with a prideful maniac at the top do??? 

GORDON CAMPBELL DID THE ONE THING HE COULD DO ABOUT HIS OWN WASTE!!! He killed the program having declared it a complete success and no longer needed. Oh really Mr. Campbell?

With this in mind, as the MLA for Nechako Lakes, I will open a website for a “WASTE BUSTER” program and I will recieve and publish on that site, any and all complaints of government waste. Waste from anywhere, including myself and BC Refed if any. And, if not acted on by the government of the day, that will be published too.

WASTE IS WASTE GORD!!

Carol James says that she’s cutting the Carbon Tax and I am all for that. But the pundits say she needs to find money somewhere. I am going to help. That’s with your help of course.

Wnot so many days remaining before the next election, our winter in the north is done enough that I have scraped the junk off my face.

But in doing that, I have to wonder if BC’s political winter is done too?

People are responding to the 1-2-3 Plan of BC Refederation. It’s slow, but the people see the wisdom in it.

Mike Summers, leader

Now we only need the support of the people between now and May 13th.
