Some time ago, while in a heated debate with Cristy Clark, the talk show host, over BC Ferries, our friend
the powellriverpersuader branded Clark "cluck cluck"
And now Clark has proved Grant G right. This mornings Province reports that Clark is still hiding. She still won't debate the issues.
By all appearances she is setting herself up as another Photo-op Premier I allege who is being run by the big
business interests in British Columbia . This type of governing is known the world over as "Puppet Ruler".
Just like her predecessor she runs around making meaningless announcements and throwing candy to the
voters which she will take away later. You remember him. He appeared at every shovel turning in the province
for some 9 years. He made his Lackies explain his screw-ups in the Legislature. Invoked closure on Bills so
he could go on vacation and not have to worry about it. Ruled by Order In Council. Had fireside chats when
rumours started like the one where he and his wife were no longer together. telling us how they met and
"clicked" but never dispelling the rumour. Tried to save his job by giving us candy. Like big income tax breaks.
Yes folks, by all appearances the Liberal party is governing on looks, appearances, propaganda, and lies.
When are the voters in this province going to wake up. This is not the way to run a Province, nor a business.
And definitely not a Country.
VOTE YES TO EXTINGUISH (GET RID OF) THE HST

More Liberal Spin On The HST
The BC Liberal “myths” about the HST just keep piling up.
We don't have the budget to fight the lies, we need your help. Keep the message going by forwarding this link to all the people you know and ask them to do the same.
Following is their latest Top Seven – all new and misleading as ever – HST Myths:
1. The HST is now 10% - False
The HST is 12% and will not be 10% for three years – if ever. There will be an election before that, and even if the HST were to miraculously drop to 10% - it will still apply to hundreds more goods and services than a 12% PST/GST for a consumer tax increase of $1.6B per year. And who says it won’t go right back up again later?

And who says it won’t go right back up again later?
2. The HST will lower taxes – False
This one is hilarious. The HST increases taxes for British Columbians by $2.8 Billion per year. That’s an average annual increase of $500 per person - or $1208 per average family – forever. Finance Minister Falcon says if his side loses he may disregard the result and expand the PST to items previously exempt – and that’s illegal. Do you really trust this guy to cut the rate if he wins?

3. The HST will save you money - False
And the tooth fairy is going to leave you a quarter under your pillow too. To get their numbers to show the HST actually “saving” you money they are calculating only “routine purchases” and that 90% of what you pay in HST will be passed back to you in lower prices. Have you seen lower prices?... We didn’t think so.

4. The HST benefits seniors - False
Seniors and people on fixed incomes are some of the hardest hit by the HST. A one time rebate of $175 if you vote in favour of their tax in exchange for paying it for the next 10-30 years of your retirement is a deal only a snake oil salesman would offer. Why take $175 when you can vote to cancel the HST and keep all your money? How dumb do they think we are?

5. The HST benefits families – False
Next to seniors, working families are hardest hit by the HST because they are among the largest consumers and have dependent children. Bribes of $175 per child when your cost is closer to $400 a year each makes you wonder if they think all of us failed math as badly as they did. And what about a single mom with two kids going to college? She gets nothing while the Premier and Finance Minister who earn big six figure salaries get the rebate. Nice.

6. Business will pay more so you can pay less - False
A temporary increase of 2% in corporate taxes will be passed on to consumers with increased prices. Either way you pay the final bill whether it’s in HST or higher prices.

7. We will owe $1.6 Billion if we cancel the HST - False
The “Independent Panel” says the HST generated $850 million more than budgeted. Setting aside that is the biggest tax grab in history, it means government already has $850 million to repay Ottawa. BC has only received $1B, and Ottawa collected $300M more in corporate taxes under the HST than under the PST. So it’s a wash. And keeping the HST would cost British Columbians a lot more than killing it – over $28 Billion in new taxes in just 10 years.
Vote YES to extinguish the HST and save your province, your democracy, and your money!

For Shame For Shame
It was only a god damn game
I have waited a couple of days to write this. The reason for the wait was to cool down. We all know how bad my language can get and in this case I don't need to feed the language cops any more than I have already.
The destruction was senseless and at this writing I can't comprehend acts of kicking an inanimate object. (Booting an overturned car)
Breaking windows and looting businesses using sledge hammers is a premeditated act and deserves full and complete prosecution. I see our premier tonight yapping about the same things but using words like the "revolving doors of justice". If you want to fix things Premier then lets start with the corruption in government and the revolving door in such cases as the BC Rail Giveaway.
The instigators of this riot was instituted by GOOFS. I use that word to let some of these no-minds know that this word will be added to their vocabulary when they are sentenced. Other than Pig, used by inmates to describe the guards, and Maggots, used by the guards to describe the inmates, the word GOOF is used as a derogatory term to describe other inmates. It is most likely the worst word used in the prison system and it suits every one of these morons that caused this riot and destruction.
I commend the police and guards as well as the people who are donating their movies and photos to catch these GOOFS.
One thing for the Premier. You had better hire all the Sheriffs back that had been laid off and put out requests for more or none of these GOOFS will get prosecuted
