With talk of a Quebec election the talk of the never-ending referendum has started up again.
This time Quebec MNA and nutcase Bernard Drainville, in anticipation of an election victory ( read: taking the Quebec electorate for granted) unveiled extortion plans to get the referendum happening when the PQ get to power.
Why shouldn’t Marois and her team get into the act?
It comes on the heels of last weeks hijacking of the Premiers meeting by dimwitted BC Premier Christy Clark who stood on her soap box in what will no doubt be a vain attempt to extort money from Alberta and buy votes from the good citizens of BC.
This is obviously a case of monkey see monkey do as Clark looks in the mirror and sees Marois and vice versa!
Stuck in the middle? Some say Prime Minister Harper.
The real answer is the taxpayer who will no doubt foot the bill for these shenanigans.
Had enough yet?
Who do you think will do the Extortion Shuffle next?
Redford : Out here in Alberta we have a saying: Shoot,Shovel and Shut Up! Ms. Clark if I were you I would consider shutting up!
Christy Clark has gone from alienating most of the voters in BC to pissing off the Rest of Canada.
The ROC now see how fortunate they were when Clark earlier skipped the Western Premiers Meeting.
Clark has taken this weeks affair and instead of being a good leader on a strong Canadian team , stood on the national stage trolling for votes needed to save her political life.
There is a fine line between tough and stupid and with her outrageous demands Clark once again crossed it.
You want more money? Go on record and tell us what our votes are worth. Then how about conducting a normal business deal? Call Enbridge and negotiate with them.
That, however would require Clark and her government to take a stance on this whole issue. Something they are loathe to do!
Clark won’t and in doing so, she has managed to add to the group of people who will vote to cast her out of office next May. Her attempt at extortion has shown the six nations people the person who she really is. ( That would be a sleazy unelected Premier with no leadership skills).
Christy Clark is a dangerous politician. The polls show her on the way out. The next 9 months will not be about good governance for BC. They will all be about Clark trying to find a way to increase her public support and to keep a thin hold on her party leadership.
So while the other Premiers are hard-working on the National Stage trying to solve the nation’s health care problems, what is our erstwhile Premier up to?
Texting on her cell phone and it’s obviously not work related given the smile.
Sitting there goofing off and flaunting it in front of the National Press gallery.
Why do we waste our text dollars sending this dimwit anywhere?
Christy Clark AKA Cruella Deville ; I am what I am!
Every village has its idiot and British Columbia’s is on the national stage attempting to extort money from the rest of the country for a project she has yet to take an official stance on.
She refuses to take a stance on the project but uses baffle gab like ” It will be terrible for the environment but for the right price we can over look it. ( That in itself is a rendition of the old joke” I know what you are now it’s a matter of haggling over price”)
Clark’s position on the Enbridge project is telling of her character,something that those of us that live in BC have been subjected to for quite some time.
She is a devout socialist, something that comes through every-time she says no pipeline or blockade.
She is a phony and has talked about native treaty rights so much lately it won’t be long before she utters those famous words. You know” In my heart I am a six nations person”
She claims she wants her ” Fair Share” for BC but refuses to say what the “Fair Share” is. When questioned Clark’s reply is that she does not want to negotiate the project in the press.
In truth and in fact that just shows what a liar Clark is, her public rebuttal of Allison Redford is exactly that; a public attempt to get Redford to give up some of the royalties.
I have said before that Clark and the BC Liberals biggest fear is that somebody will take her up on it and want to talk.
If that happened Clark and team would have to take a position one way or another. Something they desperately want to avoid.
This whole public discourse is Clark’s futile attempt to find a so-called wedge issue to prop up her dead carcass in the polls.
It won’t work and now the whole country is getting to see the laughing-stock we refer to as Premier.
In fact even Kevin Falcon himself did his best to get her off the front page when he unveiled the deficit today.
In a picture tells a thousand words scenario, note where the BC Liberal team had Clark positioned to give her keynote address to the recent barbecue used to pump up the troops on the island for the coming election.
Never on to miss a photo-op,Christy Clark stands next to a sign that captures the mood of those questioned in recent polls!
You would think that with all the problems that the BC liberals have had, new communications guy Morton would have seen that and had her positioned away from it.
Not so and this is yet another gaffe by the BC Liberal team currently predicted by the polls to be wiped off the island electoral map in 2013.
Who will Clark blame for this? The Media? Pollsters? Her Communications team?
Christy Clark: I never lie and I never break rules!
John Van Dongen was back in court this week trying to obtain transcripts from the BC Rial debacle.
Included most likely in those papers will be evidence of who knew and leaked what in the controversial case.
It should come as no shock to most of us that have been following events on the blogisphere one such target could turn out to be inept Premier Christy Clark.
The Liberal Vancouver sun continues to run the picture used for affair l’farebeat forgetting that most people would prefer to throw Clark under that train rather than hold Dix accountable for his actions.
Not only does the poll show that the BC Conservatives are on the rise ( up 3%) but it also tells the tale of the women voter.
You would think that Clark would have the market cornered on that segment of the population but not so, she has lost that too!
The worst news for Clark and crew to come out of the Angus Reid research?
That would be the numbers that say people feel Dix and the socialists are better able to manage the economy.
I will say that again so there is no mistake: Polled Voters think a bunch of socialists are better able to manage the economy than the supposed Free enterprise Chumpion Clark.
Not only that, the poll goes on to say that 55% of those folk’s opinion of Clark has worsened!
Furthermore 64% of those people disapprove of the way she does the job.
This is leadership at its weakest as poor leader’s tend to blame underlings for their faults.
Just ask Clark mentor Stockwell Day.
You recall as a leader of the Canadian Alliance he threw one of his staffers under the bus for the research gaffe on which way the Niagara river flowed.
Repeatedly BC Conservative Party Leader John Cummins has stated that the party has no intention to marge with the failing BC Liberal Government.
For one thing a lot of people in the BC Conservative Party are not just disaffected Federal Conservatives looking for a home but the party is also made up of people who have had enough with the current political system.
The BC Liberals ( We are not Liberals folks) would like to think that the Conservatives are the sole reason for their defeat in the by-elections and are the main reason the corrupt governing party will lose the next election.
If the truth be known,if the BC Conservatives did not exist and there was no other alternative, the BC Liberals would still get wiped out in the May 2013 election.
The only vote splitting that will happen will be by the downward trending BC Liberals and that issue was addressed recently by Rick Peterson in an excellent op=ed piece in the Vancouver Sun and redistributed on this blog.
Today the inept BC Liberals and their supporters attempted to once again ” Reach Out” board members and supporters via a letter from the desk of Peter Brown :
This letter insults all Conservative people under the BC Conservative Umbrella. It as if it is our fault that the supposed coalition has split apart.
Mr. Brown, Inept Premier Clark and the BC Liberal Crew need to take a good solid look in the mirror.
What the will see is their former leader hammered on a Hawaiian vacation, their new inept leader tee heeing her way through photo ops the whole time up to her arm pits in BC Rail,sleazily introducing and dragging out the HST and other assorted and sundry bull shit too numerous to name in this blog piece.
The BC Liberals had 11 years in government and they blew it. They will go out in infamy,their legacy will be corruption and sleaze.
They had a wonderful opportunity when first elected in 2001 and they have flushed it down the toilet.
The BC Conservatives on the other hand stand for honesty, integrity and accountability.They stand for reduced taxes and increased employment.
Why on earth would any BC Conservative in his or her right mind want to join a party like the BC Liberals?
