It's Time To Fight Back British Columbia

  Working without a mandate the Government of BC is attempting to muzzle it's citizens. After giving away our railway illegally, butchering the Ferry system, emasculating BC Hydro, overriding the utilities commission by politicking with hydro prices, Raping our rivers, and forcing polluting mines through the environmental review system by rubber stamping, they now have put this bill (Bill 37-2012) before the legislature.

 

Protected information

16  Except as permitted under section 17 [duty to keep information confidential] or 18 [personal information], a person must refuse, despite the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, to disclose the following:
(a) information that would identify the person responsible for an animal or an animal product or byproduct;
(b) information that would identify an animal or an animal product or byproduct that is located at or in a specific place or on or in a specific vehicle;
(c) information that would reveal that a notifiable or reportable disease is or may be present in a specific place or on or in a specific vehicle;
(d) information that would reveal that an animal or an animal product or byproduct affected by a notifiable or reportable disease is
(i) located at or in a specific place or on or in a specific vehicle, or
(ii) owned, or in the custody or control of, an identifiable person or body, or that an identifiable person or body is an operator in relation to the animal or the animal product or byproduct;
(e) information that is derived from a sample taken under this Act or that is submitted to the ministry of the minister or a laboratory identified in an order of the minister.

     Now, I allege that without a mandate any bills or laws put forth by the (not) Premier Photo op- Flip flop are not legal. I further allege that this particular Bill (now being called a gag law) under this regime is being put forth to protect the infected fish farms on our coast.

     For these farms, too much bad press has been given out both within and outside the Cohen Commission. It must be causing hell for their bottom line. I don't know anyone in my area who is purchasing these infected invasive fish.And if everyone stops buying their fish maybe they will listen to us. Now I am asking that everyone in the province refrain from buying farmed salmon as long as we don't get full disclosure on the health of their fish..

     If the salmon farmers can't tell us what is wrong with their product then don't buy it.

     If the government tries to muzzle us then I hope every person in this province writes their MLA (several times a day) no matter which party they support and demand they kill this legislation NOW.

     We got rid of the HST (and I'll have more on that in a  later post) and we can stop this Bill. If your MLA won't listen to you then try picking up the recall where you left off. Do it independently and do not involve any prominent party members. You are the voter. The boss. and there is no need to involve politicians. Politicians don't want recall to succeed. Once it's successful they know it can be done again. It's time to set these politicians straight. They aren't doing our bidding if they are forcing bills like this through.

What Do We Owe Our Soldiers?

     At 5:30 PM tonight May10, 2012, Dawna Friesen ask the question on Global National "What do we owe our soldiers?"

     My first thought without hearing the report was EVERYTHING
     Yes Everything. We owe them our our own god damn lives


     These men and women of our armed forces put themselves in harms way for us. To protect us on the orders of our government. Our chickenshit elected officials. Some gave their lives, others were wounded and severely maimed.

     And what do they get from these chickenshits in Ottawa? They get  basically nothing. They are ignored. Unable to possibly find gainful employment. reduced or cancelled pensions and medical help. They should be paid the same amount they were earning as soldiers indexed to the cost of living with all medical bills paid by the government forever

     I'm calling here for everyone in this country to stand up and demand this government resign. Resign immediately and call an election. Never, ever in my life have I been so outraged. Demand that all the governments pay above the basic be shifted to Veterans affairs or get the hell out of government.

     I'm so upset right now I had better quit typing before I say what is really on my mind.

Iskut River Fuel Spill

Where were the Provincial Government, The Federal Government, and the Media on this spill.

http://www.terracedaily.ca/show9524a/FUEL_SPILL_NEAR_THE_ISKUT_RIVER__-_NORTHWEST_FUELS

This spill happened on November 16, 2011 and we are just hearing about it now. And I am willing to bet the MSM doesn't pick up on this story.

What are the two upper levels of government going to do? I predict , nothing. Not a god damn thing.

5000 litres coverts to 1l00 UK gallons which is the unit of measurement we used to have before the government converted us to metric so they could jack the price of fuel through the roof and it wouldn't look too bad a litre at a time.

Toronto-Danforth By-election

     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
