You read it here first some months ago, and the usual crew took flight. Charlie Smith accused me of fabricating dissent. Ferris Bula exclaimed that I was wishfully thinking. Ian Reid (whom I actually don’t mind at all) claimed my opinions were those of an “arch-Conservative.” Honestly, it amazes me what contemptible bullshit the Globe [...]
That’s the only way for this maggot to get what he deserves. Sending letters to George W. Bush telling him that he had prior knowledge of 9/11. Boasting about killing women from Hawaii to Ireland. Proudly claiming that he was a joint-venture partner in the ‘Green River Killings’. Olson is an insane, narcissistic, psychotic, braggart [...]
Honestly, if there is going to be a rewriting of history by those in the media, almost entirely Liberal sycophants, about Christy Clark’s motivations for abandoning her listeners then I think it’s almost equivalently scandalous to the free ride given Gordon Campbell over the last eight years and the incredible lack of coverage of ‘Basi-Virk’ [...]
Please join the incomparable Sean Leslie and I this afternoon at 5:30pm on CKNW 980AM for a round up of the crazy world of provincial politics. I expect we’ll be talking about the B.C. Leadership contenders and the wacky world of the BCNDP whose deep fissures are more apparent than ever, after the revelations of [...]
Ten minutes ago Christy Clark announced that she is taking time off and during that time she will be “thinking about” whether she will seek to replace her old boss Gordon Campbell. But I can confirm here that she has had extensive polling done that some of her backers tell me shows Christy head and [...]
After having spent almost an hour and a half the other day, interviewing Bob Simpson, the ejected-from-the-BCNDP-caucus MLA from Cariboo North, I learned quite a few things, but two were chief among the many. Bob Simpson is a really decent man. And Bob Simpson is not going back to the NDP caucus so long as [...]
I still think Kevin Falcon will eventually win the BC Liberal leadership contest at the end of February, based on the information I’ve seen thus far about all contenders: Falcon, Abbott, Clark, DeJong, Coleman and Stilwell. He’s compiled the best organizers from both the Conservatives and federal Liberals. On the Tory side, Ray Castelli has [...]
It just baffles me how Gregor Robertson has found such a willing dupe in Chief Constable Jim Chu. ‘The Great Chooo’ as we’ve nicknamed him here, is front and center every time the Mayor puts his foot in his mouth. Case in point: While the Mayor has been busy (wrongly) firing at the provincial government [...]
This is one of those moments when I cringe as I think about what a fool I was to believe someone else’s word, as I was warned not to. We all have those moments I suppose. But when I endorsed Andrea Reimer for council in the fall of 2008, with a free-standing column and not [...]
All of a sudden the mainstream press have discovered that the native aboriginal leadership in this country–that doesn’t care about the squalid conditions of younger generations, embalmed by inter-generational alcoholism and rampant drug use (and dealing)–is corrupt. All of a sudden it’s occurred to media from sea to sea to sea that what I’ve been [...]
