Scott Simpson and The Sun

On October 30,2009 you ran a story on how the Liberals screwed the people of BC by directing that Hydro shut down Burrard Thermal.

In your article you state that "Hydro is now looking to add 6,000 gigawatts per year of new electricity supply -- enough power for 600,000 homes.At full operation, Burrard is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the province."

Firstly you fail to mention that Burrard Thermal is run on NATURAL GAS. Then you fail to tell your readers that the by product of this burned fuel is Hydrogen and Oxygen. Which by the way when combined as two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen the resultant is WATER.

So I really fail to see how Burrard Thermal is one of the biggest polluters in the province when it produces water as a by product. Even if it produced heavy water 2H2O which is used in nuclear reactors that wouldn't be pollutionbecause the production would need to be controlled.

Maybe you could enlighten the masses by doing further research on this puff piece and let us know just how this plant pollutes us. And if you can't find anything then please ask Campbell for me because this appears to be where the lie is coming from and his party doesn't answer my e-mails.

Terrace Daily reporting rumors of Alcan

The Terrace Daily Online is reporting rumors that Rio Tinto will be making a major announcement on Monday November 9,2009.

The rumor says that they will be shutting down the plant at Alcan. Paving the way for them to convert strictly to Hydro Production. It goes on to say that there may be federal and provincial input into the closure. ie: for environmental reasons.

Doesn't do much for the escalating unemployment in the area either.

BC LIBERALS Expected to table back-to-work legislation today, in paramedics strike.

That is how the headline in todays' Sun online should read. It is not the province who want this it is Gordos' big business lobby.
I predicted that this would happen after the election and I guess it wasn't the highest priority. So they finally got around to it today.

Now my bet is that the Paramedics get the shaft and shortly afterwards the executives of the BC ambulance service will get raises and bonuses and golden parachutes. Any takers?

Wake up BC these idiots in the liberal party are not looking after your best interests.

Another CN Rail Incident On Our BC Rail Line

Sources have told me of a CN train incident on the BC Rail Line at Mile 64.

CN Rail apparently has been told to use patrols in the mountainous areas of this line but have quietly removed these patrols and put more lives in jeopardy.
The reason for these patrols is mainly to advise engineers in advance of rock or other obstructions on the line. There are also electric fences in place which trip an alarm to warn of danger. These fences do not always set warnings.
Picture if you will a huge boulder careening down a mountainside. These boulders are most times very large but can still bounce as they go. CN was warned of this scenario but chose to remove the patrols anyway.
Now picture a loaded train which takes miles to stop rounding a curve and there is a house sized boulder on the track. No warning, no time to stop Crash.
Further to this incident where lives were put at risk people are put at risk of there employment by being threatened to do as they are told. This is the type of management that has been given control of our Rail Line.
Damn the lives , get the shareholders there money.

As of yesterday morning Sunday September 20, 2009 orders went out to re-introduce the manned patrols from North Van to Kelly Lake, which is just south of Clinton and is the approximate northern boundary of the mountainous area. Effective immediately.

So I see three main questions here:
1: how are these people getting away with putting peoples lives in danger?
2: where is the Transportation board on these obvious breach of rules?
3: why aren't the mainstream media publishing this story? They were certainly not lax in crucifying Glen Clark.

Does the drop in Revenue by about 1.5 Billion have anything to do with this incident?

Update: Tuesday September 22,2009. Still no reporting by the biased Mainstream Media in BC.

Hansen's New Spin On The HST

"We have to do what's right, not necessarily what's popular," he said on speaking the other day of the HST.

Firstly Mr Finance minister what is good about transferring the tax load to the voters from the manufacturers.
This is a value added tax the will see a further increase in what the consumer pays for goods not previously covered in Provincial Taxes.

Secondly. What gives you the right to impose this tax. You have no mandate.

And finally for you and "Mr. Better Suited To Manage the Economy" when in the last nine years have you done anything that was right for the people of BC.

All you have ever done is give away our Province, tear up contracts, and Give away revenues when giving away our Railroad.

Get Out And Protest

Today is the day. At approximately 12 noon all over BC they will be protesting the latest lie by the Campbell administration.

This is an opportunity even for the apathetic voters in the last election to change what Campbell is doing.

It's your life people.

I will be at the 100 Mile House rally today.
