The NDP have at preliminary results garnered 60% of the vote in the by-election in Jack Laytons riding.
Now, the fact that the NDP won was no surprise but what I found interesting was that the Harper cons only got a few more votes than the Greens. And I'm almost sure that the Greens may surpass the Cons in the final tally.
I wonder if there was any Robo Call Monkey business during this campaign?

Fishing on a Holiday
I'm out on the ice today enjoying a cloudy day and catching a few fish. I notice a machine coming down the
ice and they turn towards me. As they aproach I notice it's someone from another area. Well he comes up to me
and asks why am I not wearing green on St. Patties Day.
My reply; " When was the last time you heard of a Welshman celebrating an Irishmans Holiday."

BC Mary: Simply The Best
BC Mary has passed.
Our hearts go out to her family and close friends.
It is because of BC Mary that I started this blog. I had been attending the Basi-Virk trial in Vancouver whenever I was down there and I had a lot to say. Every time I read a comment of hers in the Tyee I had something to add. I was commenting on her site when I left the courthouse but there was some kind of a glitch and she wasn't getting the comments. Mary had been suggesting that I start a blog of my own as I had much to say with a different angle. It wasn't until February 2008 that I found help in setting up this blog.
The first person to welcome me was BC Mary.
As with many others we corresponded through e-mails and she would always remember what I was working on and sent emails and attachments. I didn't post them all but I certainly saved every one of them.
I found that Mary was as passionate about the Campbell crooks paying CN Rail to take our railway as I was. It was theft of the worst kind for the people of BC and BC Mary never let anyone forget it. Even after the payoff and quick shutting down of the court case she was relentless.Never letting us forget what the Campbell hoards did to the people of BC.
BC Mary you may be gone but you will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace

Question Period For Questions and Answers?
Or is it for manipulation by Christy Clark, our NOT Premier.
I would expect that if a question is asked it should be answered. Christy is clucking away trying to change the question in question period. She's baiting the opposition. So far they aren't biting.
And we all know why she wants the opposition to ask about education.
Government is scrambling to try to turn the tables on the opposition. Nothing else has worked and now they want to control the question.
Before Question period there were accolades for Jim Green who passed away today at the young age of 68. Most prominent among the speeches was that of Jenny Wai Cheng Kwan. Her tearful eulogy was moving even for me. RIP Jim.

Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional Votes Down Tankers
The MSM has ignored the Terrace Councillors turning down the Enbridge Pipeline. Now lets see id they can ignore what the SQCRD has done.
Merv Ritchie has the story Here
Just to let you know what damage the MSM is doing by not informing people of these rejections here's a little story.
I was on the ice this morning (caught 4) and was having a conversation with a fellow from the coast. Although our politics differed we have the same views on poisoning lakes and polluting the environment. He is dead set against the pipeline. But here's the rub. He knew absolutely nothing about Terrace Council coming out against the pipeline and is he ever pissed about them not reporting that fact.. I can hardly wait till tomorrow to tell him this great news.

Where Is This Piece In The MSM
I awoke this morning and read my primary online news at the Terrace Daily online and they had a huge item at the top of the page. Some say that Terrace council has done a 360 on their position but I believe that it is only about 90 degrees as they had not committed either way.
Read it HERE .http://www.terracedaily.ca/show9364a/TERRACE_OFFICIALLY_DECLARES_OPPOSITION_TO_TANKERS_PIPELINE
After searching until about 11 AM I was unable to find anything in the MSM . But remember when it took a Micro Second for them to announce the Elmer Derrick illegal signing?
Merv Ritchie remembers too. For he wrote this twelve hours later.
I am reminded by Laila Yuile that we may be a small voice in the wilderness but I believe that we can get louder.
If you are a blogger please cross post this article by Merv. If the blogosphere goes viral then the MSM may wake up.
If you are not a blogger then copy and pate the email to your emails and send it to your friends. Let's put a stop to the Big media bias in this province. Get the word out.
