Les Layne in Time Colonist pans Campbell and takes a swipe at the NDP too. HAVE YA HAD ENOUGH YET???

July 15th, 2010

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...

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?

Free ride for FUDGE!!

July 12th, 2010

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

Carole James meets BC Refederation Leader in Vanderhoof.

June 17th, 2010

Carole James and BC Refederation Leader Mike Summers

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.

Boy does this guy have it right!

March 8th, 2010

editorial-cartoonHow much is BC on the hook for?  A BC Refederation would do a forensic audit of the books to find out where we stand.  We cannot keep cooking the books.  And, BC Refederation will look at changing the date of the election for May to September to prevent the fiddling with the books by successive governments.

THE INSANITY HAS TO STOP!!!

Well the big party is over. Who’s paying for it?

March 3rd, 2010

Bill Tieleman reports on it on his web site,  and it’s clear that it will be carried on the backs of the poor and the people of BC other than the lower mainland.

What an  utter insult to the 3/4 of BCers who live in other places.

Luckily people in the GVRD are not a stupid as these arrogant Liberals think they are.

It’s a sad day in BC.

We can force the HST to be scrapped, and we have recall that we can use in November.  Send them a message.  They need one.

One has to wonder how long Campbell hangs on now that the OWE-lympics are over.

Writ dropped Tuesday.

April 10th, 2009

Well friends, the opportunity to dump the BC Liberals has finally come to us.

On Tuesday, the OFFICIAL campaign starts and in 28 more days from then, we hope to see the fruits of our labours.

I want to thank a bunch of people as we set off and want you to know how much I am honoured to have come to this place.

First, I want to that Dennis Shaw, co-founder and party president who has worked himself nearly to death to get us here at all.

Mel Garden, our VP and communications man. Mel, you will leave some awfully big shoes behind when you head to Oilberta. I hope you and Ingrid have every success there.

Dale Marcell, the computer guy. My head swims still Dale. Thanks.

And to our candidates.  The mountain is high and you are doing things with strength and determination alone because there sure isn’t much money to work with. Our numbers were good to start, but the economic pressures and the need to eat have pushed us back to a mere  500%  increase in running candidates from 2005. Good job everyone.

We as a party have made tremendous headway with the constant and simple 1-2-3 Plan message.

We are still easily the most democratically centered party in North America. Our non-extremist positions have favour with anyone we can talk to. I look forward to speaking to the folks at all candidates meetings and really hope we can break through the media wall that doesn’t even acknowledge we exist.  That will change this time out.

Be constant. Be strong. The voters are not a stupid as the other parties think they are.

WE ARE THE ONLY REAL ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW!!
