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.

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.

Blair Lekstrom bails on Liberal sinking ship!

June 12th, 2010

The first casualty of the Liberal insistence on ramming through HST is Blair Lekstrom.

Lekstrom admits to voting for it, but he said it has been made abundantly clear the his constituents don’t want any part of it.

Blair is hoping that bailing has saved his political butt.

Now there is six more MLAs that need to make a move.  Will they?

Letter to Flaherty Published in PG Free Press

Don’t bring HST in

Editor:

An open letter to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty

As you are aware, the citizens of B.C. have collected an astounding 600,000 signatures, representing over 15 per cent in each of the 85 constituencies.

That petition demands that the Government of B.C. introduce legislation to withdraw the agreement with the federal government, or take it to a referendum. We respectfully ask you to honour the wishes of the people and delay implementation of HST pending validation and final vote in any referendum that may subsequently be called.

I need not remind you that this is only fair to voters who have long supported Conservative members and who seek a democratic response from government.

And, it will add to the stability of business in B.C. which will be asked to shift tax collection methods one way, only to have them shifted back upon successful referendum in September 2011.

At that time. the government will be obligated to repay consumers in B.C. and it will likely result in a breaking of the bank.

For that reason, I adjure you to put off implementation of the HST pending final resolution of the petition.

Mike Summers

Leader of BC Refederation Party

and Regional Organizer Fight HST

Campbell’s Olympic sized implosion!

January 15th, 2009
Comments Off

picture-44-1

We are heading for what might well be the biggest single implosion of a ruling political party in BC’s history.

Massive overruns in costs and other expenditures connected to the 2010 Olympics is expected to destroy the BC Liberal hopes of winning the next election.

Elected originally as the party of fiscal responsibility, the BC Liberals have clearly shown that they are anything but the great money managers they sold BC on. 

However, as bad as the Liberals have shown themselves to be… How bad would Carole James be? A lacklustre leader at best, Carole really doesn’t have any sound plans for controlling BC’s economic future.

And both of those two parties still don’t want to hear from you. We all know that the citizens of BC, you remember them don’t you? The ones who can’t go anywhere without a political hand reaching into purses and pockets looking for your spare change???

Both of those parties are campaigning already telling you they intend to bring “GREATER ACCOUNTIBILITY” to BC politicians. Poppycock and horse feathers they are!

The sad fact is that the politicians don’t really want to hear from you beyond your vote for them. The problems of BC very likely can be solved idf we just listen to and “OBEY” the voters.

And there is only ONE party with a comprehensive plan to give the citizens the power to control politicians and the final say on any piece of legislation passed by any BC politicians.

And, BC Refed is clearly the only voice of reason to temper the politicians in Victoria. We need your help to get us there.

And we only need to govern “JUST ONCE” to accomplish this.

Join us today!
