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?
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.
What do you think? Is Clark a bad joke?
The Albatross around British Columbia’s neck, Premier Christy Clark, chose Vancouver-Point Grey to lose her seat in the upcoming general election in May 2013.
That’s the riding she won by a mere 500 votes and judging by the phone calls I got today makes her the InDUMBent!
No sooner had Clark called Alison Redford’s reaction to her demands for the Enbridge project silly than I was reminded that she referred to a suggestion by the leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition,Tommy Mulcair as “Goofy”.
With slang like that how does our Premier expect to get any respect at all.
Clark went on to say that she is fighting for BC. This prompted phone calls and emails along the lines of what does she think we are all idiots?
No matter the outcome of the Council of the Federation this week, Clark comes out once again looking like the chump that she is.
She should have started very public discussions regarding the Enbridge issue ages ago, perhaps at the Western Premiers meeting that she skipped and sent lackey Pat Bell to.
She didn’t and has now created the kerfuffle that has got people talking about the constitution again.
Make no mistake about it, Clark is not fighting for BC. She is fighting for her political life and doing a lousy job of it.
Only time will tell if the lucky voters of Vancouver-Point Grey will do the deed that most folks polled wish they had the opportunity to do.
That would be to show Clark the door at the first available opportunity.
I suspect her BC Liberal buddies won’t give them the chance.
What do you think?
First it was skulking around Alberta and Saskatchewan undercover of darkness so to speak meeting with Premiers Redford and Wall.
Then the big announcement comes from the government and Clark is nowhere to be seen.
Why?
The answer is typical Ken Boessenkool playbook strategy.
It goes something like this: When your leader is as low in the polls as Clark is, you hide her for the summer and start over again in the fall.
In Clark’s case it’s worse because even if they need to use her she can’t stay on message and so this fits with the Boessenkool strategy as well.
It’s no small wonder 77% of Albertan’s would rather have Redford as a Premier than our Clark. ( see the poll at the end of the blog written by an Albertan thanking his lucky stars that Clark is not their Premier)
Ordinarily the BC Government should have made a big deal out of Clark’s visit to Edmonton. It should have been showcased as a great stepping stone in the Enbridge project.
Instead as the blogger depicts it was more like a Mafioso Don meeting with the head of another family. I am surprised Clark didn’t hold the meeting in the back of a bakery.
Although what would you expect from a government who invites gangsters to budget meetings.
Not only that but this far into the process and after today’s big announcement they still haven’t taken a position.
Quite frankly I don’t think they will.
I think getting rebuffed by Premier Redford was part of the plan, a plan without leadership.
They will eventually say Alberta is not offering enough.
It is a plan to bow out of Enbridge without taking a stance.
But then what would you expect from a government who has no leader?
Where oh Where could Christy Clark’s handlers be?
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.
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?
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.
It seems however those folks in the mainstream media are starting to wake up to the fact that just maybe Christy Clark has been lying about her involvement all along.
It is both good and bad that we will have to wait until at least September to see what light these papers will shine on the tales Premier Pinocchio has been telling.
The bad would be that perhaps we will have to put up with her until the documents reveal her involvement.
The good will be that it will cause a great big kaboom in the middle of her rename the mafia ,invite the free enterprisers fall convention.
As everything else she has done this is sure to blowup in Clark’s face.
The most recent gaffe would be Clark’s attempt to offer condolences to those families of the missing people.
Perhaps if they hadn’t cut back on the people responsible for investigating this kind of stuff it could have been prevented.
At the very least somebody might have been there to open the email that warned them of the pending tragedy.
But then, I suspect Clark has been too busy covering up her lies to actually worry about families, she more than likely puts herself first.
What do you think?
So whatever happened to picking up the phone and talking with another ministry.
Why does everything have to be reviewed ad nausea?
Case in point:Three provinces ( Ontario,Quebec and Saskatchewan) fund a breast cancer test that examines genes and helps predict whether breast cancer will return to patients that have formerly had the disease.
In BC if a women wants to get this test done,it costs her and her family $4,000 out of her or her family’s pocket.
The outcome of this test is used by doctors as a tool to decide whether or not Chemotherapy should be undertaken.
The Oncologists changed their mind 30% of the time as a result of findings this test provided.
Seems like a good test and a great deal for families having to go through the torture of Chemotherapy.
In Christy Clark’s BC calling the other provinces who fund the test and asking for faxed copies of their studies does not appear to be an option.
They will undertake yet another review ( you remember we are reviewing the justice system?)
You would think a government with a family first agenda who sucks in the polls would get on this a little quicker.
That is if they really cared about families.
What do you think?
Speculation has been mounting in the press in recent weeks whether Murray Coell, Saanich North and the Islands MLA would leave politics.
Today he confirmed that we would not run again and joins the growing list of MLAs bailing on Clark!
I did a lot of volunteer work in the old days ( 2001-2004) in Coell’s riding and wish him every success!
Coell is a good guy who works very hard for his constituents and the BC Liberal Caucus will miss him.
( I know you guys will probably comment that I should wash my mouth out with soap for saying nice things about a BC Liberal)
Who will give Clark the high hard one next? Falcon? Coleman?
At this rate one of these guys could leave before the weekend!
What are your thoughts?
Angus Reid released the most damning poll of all for the future on the Clark BC Liberals and for Premier Christy Clark herself!
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.
No wonder Dave Hayer didn’t say thanks!
How bad is that?
If the BC Liberal Executive has pulled themselves up off the floor and are paying attention: this poll spells the end of Christina Joan Clark.
You cannot and will not form government in the next election.
In fact the momentum is now with the BC Conservatives!
This poll also sends a message to Peter Brown and it would be : Mr.Brown you are backing the wrong horse!
What do you think?
Long time MLA Dave Hayer bid provincial politics good-bye today and he like most of the cast before him thanked everybody except Premier Christy Clark. ( Cue Kash Heed’s swan song)
Hayer even took time in his statement to thank Gordon Campbell.
It wasn’t that long ago the BC Liberal Caucus Crew couldn’t get rid of Campbell fast enough and now on the way out they give him plaudits.
It just shows you how low Clark has taken the party when those leaving don’t bother to say thanks.
Kind of makes you think they are all leaving because of her. ( They are 67% of the voting public don’t trust her,why should her caucus)
Hayer’s middle finger to Clark is even more significant than Heed’s, after all they worked together when the BC Liberals first came to power!
Who will go through the revolving door next at Chez Christy Clark Liberals?
Do you have any idea?
