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.

10 days left. Old parties still doing the same old.

May 2nd, 2009

A real sign of our times.

A real sign of our times.

With just 10 days left, BC Refed is making a difference in this election. Just as my BULLFIGHT analogy goes, the other politicians are still trying to manipulate the issues/cape to confuse voters. BC Refed has identified the problem and it is now, as it has always been, politicians. The people of BC have had enough of same old same old tired politics. The people of BC are being handed a choice in parties and what they are being offered. Onlt BC Refed offers the one thing people want NOW. What is that one thing? “CONTROL”. Once people of BC have absolute control of BC’s politicians, then the ‘issues’ will smooth out and life will regain some simplicity because the politicians will not go off doing anything extreme because they will “KNOW” that the citizens will claw back anything like it. I am very positive about this election. And I am proud to be associated with the people I running with.
Our candiadtes have done an absolutely stunning job considering how very little we have had to work with.
Good luck my friends. See you in the legislature, right?

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!
