Gimme a break! Be open,honest and accountable? Why change whats worked for 11 years?
I hate to keep harping on the budget day tweet by the premier,but she had no reason to do that. She could have kept quiet and let Kevin Falcon present the budget and that part of the day would have been fine.
But she didn’t,she lied.
This from a Premier who ran her leadership campaign on open accountable honest government.
It’s not happening and as taxpayers you have a right to be choked.
There are lots of other hidden taxes other than the aforementioned MSP Lie.
I am the Premier and I can fool all of the people all of the time!
The Premier Lied! She went on Twitter in the Morning and said there would be no new tax hikes in the budget and then increases your MSP Premiums. A Premium is another word for tax.
Finance Minister Falcon Shrugged it off by saying it’s only $5 per month ( $60 per year).
In the BC Liberal world it’s only $60,in ours it’s a LIE.
This is just another in a long line of gaffes By the B.C.Liberal Premier.
She promised to do politics different and she starts her budget day with a lie.What could be worse?
Kinda makes you think the Premier is in over her head,doesn’t it?
Kinda makes you wonder if you can believe this whole budget thing too ?
Hey Martha another day and these suckers will be ready for picking!
“I have always had a problem with the idea that the state should criminalize an act which is essentially no more complex than putting a couple of seeds in your back yard, waiting a while and then, when something grows, you put it in your pocket, you chew it or you smoke it,” Mr. Plant said.
BC's Economic D-Day should be now,not after Election 2013
This week in Ontario Don Drummond,chair of commission on public service reform , released a 688 page report that should serve as a cautionary tale to voters here at home in B.C.
We have a little over a year until we have our own provincial election and we have plenty of time to ask those who are running what they are planning and what will it cost.
We should not have to wait for the writ to drop do know exactly where we stand fiscally and where the parties will take us.
All during the last election we heard that the deficit was in the area of 495 million only to be told right after that it was in the billions. The B.C. Liberals told us no HST and then brought it in right after the election.
Today,Adrian Dix and the NDP have a number of promises and plans so how much? What is your plan to get us to where you want the province to go.
Adrian says he doesn’t want to be in the limelight. Guess what Adrian ? You are applying for the top job in the province and a formal interview is in order!
Every politician should now and always be in the limelight.They want to spend your money!
An independent economist should be appointed and have to release a no B.S state of affairs. Both the opposition and government should have to read it and tell us well in advance of any election what they want to do and how much it will cost.( Not just now but before every election)
This report is not to be confused with the upcoming smoke and mirrors budget. This week the government will say and do anything to try and boost their standing in the polls.
We all wait with bated breath to see how long and what will happen with the transition.
Finance Minister Falcon says that we will find out Friday because they still have some last minutes negotiations to finish up.
Fridays are also known as bad news days in the government and the business world.Aptly named because most people don’t follow the news as much as other days and it is ripe for sneaking in bad news.
Did I say sneak in relation to news about the HST,that would be far to generous!
Come On Caller,I might be doing a Faux Throne Speech,but call by-elections?
In a ruling that was not shocking,given the judges comments last week,Provincial Court Judge Malcolm MacLean tossed out the application to televise the riot trials today.
This following a morning of listening to the Premier on the radio telling the world she is going to review this and review that.
She has been on the job for 11 months and she is just getting around to reviewing the processes that most people have been complaining about for some time.
She had a great chance to show leadership on the issue of by-elections,but of course she didn’t. She said she would get around to calling them soon.
If you live in Chilliwack or Port Moody,the Premier just “Whatever’d ” you. How did that make you feel?
Nope, Her interview this morning was classic Paul Martin,lots of dithering,little substance.
In the name of safety,shame and fair hearings the judge that will rule on the application Monday thinks it’s a sham.
This is another in a long line of misjudgements and gaffes made by the Premier!
There is one trial, however, the people are anxious to see on TV. It will occur on election night in 2013.That day Christy Clark and her government will be judged by a jury of their peers.
That trial date can’t come soon enough!
It's bloody obvious isn't it! The people are not smart enough to connect with me!
Thank god these two can't vote,I can't afford any more bad news!
More bad news for the BC Liberals as the BC Conservatives continue to eat into Liberal numbers.
Glum news for a Party and a Premier who have been making announcement after announcement this week.
This probably explains why the Premier is returning to her old stomping grounds on NW radio Monday for as Justine Hunter says “a faux Throne Speech” with Bill Good.
Prepare to be nauseated for 90 minutes. This will more than likely be an opportunity for BC Liberal staffers and party members to phone in with easy to answer questions that even the Premier can answer.
Maybe we all will get lucky and she will call those by-elections.
Minster Pat Bell said today, after it came out that they had spent $17,000 on a photo-op for the Premier,it was OK because “as of 45 days ago they had only spent $850,000”.
In the manner of the pot calling the kettle black,Adrian Dix said this ad was merely a re-branding of the Premier. Uh Adrian,how many times have you been re-branded over the years anyways?
