Premier Christy Clark is a Coward: She’s Hiding from the People of Point Grey, Aided and Abetted by Her Friends in the B.C. Media. SHAME!!!
In Christy Clark’s home, as you enter, there is a hallway you run into rather quickly, where, among other rooms and a closet, you might find a bathroom. There, of all places (queue the joke machine please) you will find a mini-shrine of Clark’s past press and associated clippings. Clark with her face plastered on the cover of a local paper. Clark in a magazine article. Clark posing with her then infant son.
But it’s only the mini-shrine. You see, downstairs, in her basement, is the kind of stunning, stupefying evidence of sociopathy that multiple witnesses describe as something extremely troubling; something that you’ll likely find in a bad movie about a stalker’s prey. Except in this case the wall to wall, and partially up onto the ceiling, homage to Clark herself is simply frightening. Columns she’s written for the Province (tried to write…or had written for her), pictures from various campaigns, photos off more papers, Clark making presentations; pictures with other politicians. The shrine is so shocking that as one former Clark guest said to me recently, she was amazed at the amount of detail and time it took to do something like that.
And then she wondered ‘Why?’ Why would Clark do something like that?
Well, it’s simple. Clark has had so much artificial sunshine blown up her derriere for decades by, in no particular order, bubbleheaded radio producers; fawning radio executives; ONE prominent, star-struck global warming doomsterist, baritone former CKNW colleague; political sycophants and MSM trollops looking for yet another leak or exclusive, that it’s finally reached her head and the swelling is nothing modern medicine could address if a team of the world’s top doctors were assembled to do so.
So, for a woman who LOVES the sound of her own voice, and is said to have practiced speech-making for years infront of any mirror that wouldn’t scream right back at her, why would she be afraid to debate the NDP’s David Eby and her other opponents in the Point Grey byelection? This is the same woman who forever and a day talked about democracy and open government. “A more accessible government…” is precisely what she told us she would demand of her current colleagues. No more Gordon Campbell style staged conferences and photo ops, Clark told us. Right? Right?
Wrong.
Christy Clark has no respect for you, particularly those of you who live or work, as I do, in Point Grey. She doesn’t give a sniff what questions you might want to ask. Clark is profoundly disinterested in talking to you, unless you’ve been pre-approved by her advance team. They’ll go down the list of federal Liberal supporters in that constituency, check against her own personal list and then, and only then, can you hand her a flower or have your infant grandson pose with her.
Not a stitch about policy, nothing.
But it’s not Clark who should be solely condemned here. In 1989, I can remember a fairly heated argument I had with a young reporter named Vaughn Palmer. He was upset that then premier Bill VanderZalm would not be taking questions–FOR ONE DAY on the rumoured rising tensions in his caucus. Palmer was upset that he was promised an interview that didn’t materialize, by the late Socred Cabinet Minister Elwood Veitch. As it turns out, VanderZalm, usually robust and healthy had come down with a very bad cold, didn’t sleep very well, missed the ferry and wasn’t about to hop on a Helijet. Palmer was relentless. “I hope he’s not hiding,” he quipped.
This was followed by a rather heated column that was picked up by BCTV’s Clem Chapple. It was top news on a night Clifford Olsen was being moved from one prison to another because he was suffering from incarceration anxiety.
On any of the last week’s six o’clock news programs, Clark’s cowardice was nary a footnote. Nothing from Baldrey at Global, Beatty at CTV (The Christy News Network) or Smart at the CBC. Zilch, nada. Some loose references about the by-election and that’s it.
Today on CKNW, it was the sixth story down on the rotation, while Bill Good read questions prepared for him, he openly admitted this, by the BC Liberal Party.
For the last month we’ve been listening to major news outlets, and even friends of Clark’s like the Toronto Sun’s Warren Kinsella excoriate the Prime Minister for taking only five questions per day. See that here.
And here is another of Barbara Daffy’s breathless attacks about media being limited.
And here is a relentless pursuit by Brian Coxford of a politician hiding.
Meanwhile, the Premier hides and nary a peep from any of the media.

NOTE: Apologies for the formatting issues of this post. I’ve since corrected it. Thanks for those that pointed it out.
You know whats truly sad? Global actually thought doing a whole news story about Crusty “working”, sorry I meant putting on a show just because of minimum wage being increased is an absolute travesty. Do you think British Columbians give a damn about that? I sure don’t. It is so blatantly obvious and sad how MSM prop up this woman with her various escapades. The MSM really need to be heald accountable for the poor job they are doing of working for the people.
[Translate]
They follow Keith’s velvet glove where Christy’s concerned. The story has to have teeth, claws and a snarl otherwise they won’t even look at it.
Smart’s got her covered at CBC and CTV truly is the ‘Clark News Network’.
[Translate]
She makes a better waitress than a Premier, and she’s a crappy waitress…..
[Translate]
Hey, easy there Lew old boy!
Christy’s credentials as a waitress are impeccable.
She worked as a waitress and part-time cook at the Blue Boy Motel.
And no, I’m not kidding.
[Translate]
“Clark’s cowardice was nary a footnote. Nothing from Baldrey at Global, Beatty at CTV (The Christy News Network) or Smart at the CBC.”
I would imagine Smart can’t deal with anything other than a Christy good news story or his wife would lose her job with the empress. The CBC radio on the other hand is giving coverage to Christy’s “empty chair” once or twice an hour.
“So, for a woman who LOVES the sound of her own voice, ”
Too funny, everytime I here her voice I wish I had long fingernails with a chalkboard handy for a comparatively pleasant sound to drown out the utterly unbearable, to me, sound of her voice, which sounds to me like a vocabulary delivered in cackles (which never fails to raise my hackles.
This post should be printed and delivered to EVERY doorstep in your riding. Her announcement on the Mount (Seymour) about removing parking meters from the parks was the equivalent of a wife beater being proud for the fact that he quit beating his wife, even if just for awhile because he was exhausted.
[Translate]
At the Blue Boy? On Fraser and Marine? I guess Jack Layton must know her too then…..

On Fraser and Marine, that was the one…

Christy Cluck=Hipocracy. Period.
I live just on the boarder of this riding, and every time I pass one of her signs, I feel like knocking on that persons door and asking them, why the hell they would endorse her.
Do they know what has been provided here?
And never mind that, as you state above, she will not show her face at a debate!!!! And she calls this transparent democracy?
Yeah, transparent, as in there is none.
First that dimwit Hedi Fry, now Christy. Wake up people and smell the hipocracy.
And lastly, I wonder what the media would say if Dix played the same game as Crusty? They would be all over him if he did not show up to debate the issues.
The fact that this lady gets the attention she gets just blows my mind…….
[Translate]
Boy Alex
…….all I can say is I am sure glad most of us on this blog are on your good side
Otherwise….. Yikkkeeess !!!

Luckily for me in my office I got very few political momentoes. Yes, a few political toons (I did NOT draw them) and a PacifiCat postcard. A lot of fighter jets though.
But when you’re as successful as Christy Clark you kind of are entitled to such a trophy room. You see a sports documentary when they go into the player’s homes? Christy Clark’s home goal sounds the same way. She sees politics as a sport, I betcha.
That said, this Clark strategy of face-to-face is risque. But what real change from Alise & Moe/punch n judy politics looks like…
[Translate]
“But when you’re as successful as Christy Clark you kind of are entitled to such a trophy room.”
You really are delusional. Very.
A egomaniac who was almost booted from SFU and has had no other significant employment prior to NW other than being a political hack (in Ottawa, where her exploits were ridiculed) and being a short order cook and waitress at the Blue Boy Hotel. No wonder she gets along with Mary Polak. She went from crew chief at Molly Maid to becoming a Cabinet Minister under Gordon Campbull.
It’s amazing the quality of Cabinet Ministers…hmm…all women who went from rags to bitches while under Gordon.
Meanwhile, Margaret McDiarmid and Moira Stilwell are not in Cabinet.
And the BC Liberals tells us that women support Christy??? Then they are ALL STUPID. What does it say about the BC Liberal WHOREHOUSE, that the most qualified women in caucus have no Cabinet seat because they would not support a hyper-sexualized dimbell, drunk on power and arrogance?
Head back to your birds Joe and flock off.

No problem by me. Nicely squeezed.
[Translate]
HAH ! and ya censored me?
oh well, my apologies buddy, wont happen again
[Translate]
Well ……..the problem is that the NDP success at the Federal level may scare BC voters into supporting Christy , even if wouldn’t normally.
The BC Conservatives best get a viable option going before Christy pulls the trigger after the by-election.
[Translate]
Why should she bother showing up for the candidates’ debate on CKNW? She gets John Les to fax in a list of questions and Bill Good reads them verbatim to David Eby. Nice. She ducks questions, but still gets to ask them of her opponent, all facilitated by the debate “moderator”.
This actually happened on ‘NW this morning and Good didn’t even blush.
[Translate]
How do you know that Les faxed the questions?
Are we surprised at Good? He’s pathetic.
[Translate]
Bill Good was defending Christy Clark from any points/critisism that David Eby had. It was BRUTAL. Good was parroting the exact same lines that Clark did.
” Dont you think as a Premier she’s extremely busy” asked Good when Eby commented that Clark should at least show up for ONE debate.
and on and on the Bill Good “spin team ” went.
When is that clown getting the hook?
[Translate]
That clown had his contract extended recently for three more years. But they will soon regret this, I promise you. They may even try to buy him out. He’ll lose THOUSANDS of listeners. Even the curious will abandon them. Just watch.
[Translate]
Good actually said on air that the questions had been faxed in by John Les. This was confirmed later in an e-mail to me by Jessica Hyatt. Adrian Dix also spoke about it on Mike Smyth’s show this afternoon.
[Translate]
I have to admit, I miss listening to Mike and Jon, but that’s about it. I listened to Simi when she was on filling in for the idiot. But that’s it.
Stunning that they keep Hyatt, Palat, etc. They along with Nicol and Scott were/are part of the problem over there. But NW has no competition, so they can provide shit programming and claim it to be platinum listening.
[Translate]
I broke my “no CKNW rule” to hear how the radio “debate” would go down. I couldn’t believe Bill was reading questions faxed to him from the BC Liberals.
Has the man no shame? Is there anything he wouldn’t do for the BC Liberals? What an embarrassment.
It only confirmed I made the right choice tuning out NW.
[Translate]
I must apologize for being distracted by the federal election, but I could not believe my eyes when I tried to catch up on the Point Grey By-election today. (Island people are slow you know)
The fact that our “premier non elect” will not attend a meeting organized by a Parent Advisory Council in order to understand her “Family First” platform for the constituents of the area, is unbelievable.
No ……let me reword that……..considering she is a parachute candidate…….it’s….. “Bullshit.”
[Translate]
She should be impeached for having such disdain for the people of Point Grey.
[Translate]
Alex.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter if you’re a liar, a thief, or any other type of scoundrel.
As long as you do exactly as your handlers say, have the Main Stream Media in your corner and dont get caught with a hooker( oops! Layton! Scratch that).
You’ll get elected.
Is this what our Municipal ( Mayor Moonbeam), Provincial ( Clark ) and Federal (take your pick) elections have come down to?
A predetermined shoe in?
And they wonder why the participation rate is so low?( or are they HOPING for low turn out rates?
I’m still voting but I’m increasingly finding it harder and harder to convince others to vote.
What a sad commentary of our failing democractic process
[Translate]
Indeed. Superb analysis. Sadly…
[Translate]
Alex.
Any luck on getting a copy of the HST referendum question? I first heard about it on NW last weekend. Maybe Michael Smith or someone like that? A caller mentioned it to him and he agreed that it was confusing and he would try and get it on the air.
[Translate]
I’m working on that for tomorrow.
[Translate]
I have seen the question on one site or other shortly after Craig James created it, and basically one must vote “YES” if they are against the HST or “NO” if they are for it. I suspect this was intentionally done to confuse voters. The natural reaction by most people is to say “no” to something that they oppose.
On the upside, the panel commissioned by the government to study the effects of the HST released its report today, and it belied many of the government’s assertions. They determined that it ia anything but revenue neutral to the government’s bottom line, will impact the taxpayers much more than the government stated and not have near the impact on job creation that Jack Mintz’s fictional report claimed. They also stated that there would be a negative impact on the government’s coffers by both the loss in revenue and the fact that BC would have to repay the bribe offered by the federal government.
[Translate]
The “shrine” room is bizarre. I could see if you had several photos of yourself at key points in your life or if you were with someone famous, etc.
But to have EVERYTHING that you ever did plastered on the wall is narcissic at best and disturbing on several other levels.
( Your “stalker” analogy is close to the mark. Perhaps she could sell some of it on EBay to her adoring fans?)
Perhaps some Psychiatrists or analysts out there could give us their professional opinion??? pretty please?
[Translate]
“John Les to fax in a list of questions ” I’m seeing this comment on other sites as well. Would someone clarify as to who the source is of this statement ? I’m itching to find out.
Guy in Victoria
[Translate]
As it turns out, I have investigated this and it’s TRUE that Bill Good actually had the gall to admit he was reading off BC Liberal questions. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!
[Translate]
Looks to me like Harper’s media policy worked out pretty damn well. As for Kinsella’s blog site, I have never seen anything so boring, not just the commentary, but the set up and design, almost as dismal and tiresome as the man himself. And, unlike Alex, he didn’t predict a Conservative majority, in fact, I know few who actually did.
[Translate]
Warren badly botched this election because he allowed his personal bias–he’s a Liberal organizer and during Gomery was implicated in the AdScam controversy, to bleed into his work.
[Translate]
Actually, I feel it is we who botched the election. Just as Clark can not be allowed to get away with avoiding hard questions…Harper should not have got away with it.
Conservatives will disagree of course, but those of us closer to the centre feel we lost our country the other night.
[Translate]
Merv – You did, in fact, lose “your” country the other night. It is now “our” country. You excluded us from “yours” , so we will exclude you from “ours”. And if you had read Lorne Gunter in today’s National Post, you will understand that there will be many changes for quite some time.
[Translate]
Larry, with respect..I said I felt like we lost “our” country….Mine includes you..hence ours.
You’re the one who thinks it’s “yours”…?
[Translate]
Okay, let’s get back on topic pls. I agree with you Merv that that’s what you meant. Larry took it differently as Larry sometimes does. Bless you both.
[Translate]
Alex,
If you’re going to launch the rest of the torpedos in the tubes I’d suggest the time is now. Speaking only for myself, if you decide not to I completely understand. Frankly, I think the threats from the Special Prosecutor are nothing more than bluff. If you drop the hammer on Ms. Clark and it’s powerful enough to depose her, the Special Prosecutor will cut & run rather than show themselves as corrupt as the politicians & bagmen they’ve sought to protect.
That said, I don’t expect you to take the weight and have to shell out money for a lawyer (in case I’m wrong) for doing the job the mainstream media (who have unlimited financial resources) should have done. You’ve already outshone them and shown them for what they are.
If you decide to pull the trigger, know that I and a lot of other British Columbians will stand behind you as best we can.
God’s speed my friend.
[Translate]
Thanks Bob. The Special Prosector’s Office and the RCMP have already made clear what will happen to me should I dart releasing anything.
I appreciate the kind words and support.
[Translate]
Alex I don’t agree with a lot of your views but I whole heartedly agree with the above poster re;Standing behind you. If a war chest of funds for your defense is called for I would gladly contribute.
[Translate]
Very kind, thx Stew.
[Translate]
if they come at you with harges and you have to hire a lawyer…let us know where we can send a cheque for your “defence fund” Put me down for $500.00
[Translate]
That’s very generous, but I think I’ll be able to negotiate with the judge and the Special Prosector, so a lawyer won’t be necessary. I have faith they understand that the documents should all be released in the matter of the public’s right to know.
If something should come to pass that hinders this, or should I receive any more intimidation, then I’ll report that, certainly and we’ll go from there.
[Translate]
“If something should come to pass that hinders this, or should I receive any more intimidation,”
Many of us, will stand up behind you Alex, be sure of that my friend….
[Translate]
Thanks. Very kind.
[Translate]
just say the word and the “Defence fund” can start….. I wonder how long it would take to reach $250 k. ?
AND whatever you dont use, donate to charity. A win win.
[Translate]
I will let you guys all know what’s going to happen, but they will not get away with burying the evidence. I promise you that.
[Translate]
Alex, have I missed something?
I was under the impression that you WERE releasing documents, after certain events came to pass (presumably to protect the person who gave them to you).
Are you saying you’ve been dummied by the authorities? If so, is it pending some pseudo-investigation, or a permanently?
If the information you have was good enough to be accepted as evidence in court – and our courts are open for the public to see that justice is done – you being muzzled is nothing short of outrageous!
Add me to your posse of personal supporters – we are legion.
[Translate]
No, I’m saying be patient.
More information on the way.
[Translate]
I can’t help but think that our whole political system has evolved into nothing more than a knock off of American Idol. Voters seem to forget that they are acting as an employer that is collectively hiring an employee.
If you or I applied for a job and decided to not attend an interview by the company offering said job, what do you think our chances of getting hired would be? Nada, zilch etc. Why should a politician, no matter what party they represent, expect anything different? The answer is that they shouldn’t.
[Translate]
The people of Point Grey should vote NDP and send a message to Clark and the liberals they need to change. It’s one seat so they are not electing an NDP government just sending a message.
[Translate]
But of course this is the new politic in Canada, do not answer questions, do not debate, do not attend anything other than well orchestrated media events.
The electoral sheep then bleat – bleat , vote with a religious fervor for a party that really has no platform and sole purpose is to enrich its political friends. This is Canadian politics today.
There is no more left or right, rather it is them or us, with the thems being our die-hard enemies.
Canada has morphed, by voter neglect, into a Corporatist state, where the state kow-tows to major corporate interests and not the electorate. In fact the electorate is treated as lesser peons, there to be taxed.
Another sad thing is that religion is now taking its slimy hold over politicians and this mixture of evangelic religion and fervent religious corporatist agenda is slowly strangling our so called democracy in this country.
The real troubling issue is that Canadians are sleep walking towards a new and more sinister form of government, just like what the German electorate did in the late 1920,s and early 1930′s.
Canada is shifting into a new sinister era of a dumbed down democracy, abetted by a self serving politicians, with incestuous relationships with their political cronies. There is no hope for change, as there is no desire for change by the ruling elite.
It is all about how much we can screw out of government before our boy is tossed out and their boy is elected.
Clark, Harper, are cut from the same cloth, as are most provincial and federal politicians, including those in the NDP.
[Translate]
Evil eye – take a valium will you!
[Translate]
Um, they said the same thing to Winston Churchill in the 30′s about his comments on a certain funny little mustachioed Austrian, making noise in Germany.
[Translate]
Oh, they didn’t either, valium wasn’t even invented – but seriously, you’re comparing Stephen Harper to Adolf Hitler? But then I expect that from the Left. I won’t compare Layton and Ignatieff to Stalin, even if Stalin thought religion to be “slimy”, so much so that many of its practitioners were dispatched to the gulags to be worked to death; those that weren’t shot to death on the church steps.

Alex, lead story on the CKNW News at 6:30 this AM:
Christy Clark hosts online Town Hall Meeting last night.
Lead story on News 1130:
Christy Clark no-show at All Candidates Meeting.
See the difference?
I do.
Cheers. Right?
[Translate]
Right! LOL!
[Translate]
I’ve been thinking about this post Alex, and something has been bothering me.
Your description of Christy’s wall of self, is quite impressive, but something is missing…
I ask you Alex, don’t most people have a picture of their children on their wall of accomplishments…
especially if they are “promoting themselves” as putting “family first?”
That is the one glaring fact that jumped out at me…
[Translate]
This is a complilation. There’s nothing about families first or last. It’s all about her.
[Translate]
It was interesting this morning that News 1130 had a story about Christy not showing up to the debate last night. They also had a few people interviewed that were NOT impressed with her “no show”
CKNW had Bill Good interviewing SFU students that were working with the homeless in the Down town core. No mention AT ALL about last nights Pt. Grey debates.
” Pretend the problem doesnt exist and it wont be a problem.”
One wonders what will happen If David Eby gets the seat?
Apparently he was VERY well recieved.
Perhaps the Libs are betting on a lame horse?
[Translate]
Can see the opposition to Christy Crunch, but this is getting a bit personal isn’t it? Don’t you have plaques and awards in the drawing room?
The political opposition is kosher, but attacking what a politician has inside their own house is a bit offside in my mind.
[Translate]
And on the toleration of dishonesty and corruption by our various politicos, etc., including but not comparing them to terrorists and tyrants, we have this:
“We sit by and watch the barbarian, we tolerate him (her) ; in the long stretches of peace we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence, his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creeds refresh us, we laugh.
But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there is no smile.” – Hilaire Belloc.

Here is a GOOD Question for the Unelected Premier.
What do YOU think of the slander lawsuit against Ujjal?
Another multi million lawsuit ….most likely paid for by the taxpayers of BC.
I thought Mr Malik was broke.
Then again SHE might want to talk about it, saves from talking about BC Rail.

Anticipatory of May 8.
SONNET TO MY MOTHER
Most near, most dear, most loved and most far,
Under the window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
Irresistible as Rabelais but most tender for
The lame dogs and hurt birds that surround her,-
She is a procession no one can follow after
But like a little dog following a brass band.
She will not glance up at the bomber or condescend
To drop her gin and scuttle to the cellar,
But lean on the mahogany table like a mountain
Whom only faith can move, and so I send
O all my faith and all my love to tell her
That she will move from mourning into morning.
George Barker.
[Translate]
Bless your mother and all mothers on this and every day.

She’d rather “talk” to hand picked prescreened audiences than get “yelled at” by other candidates, to paraphrase the Province story this morning.
If she doesn’t want to get “yelled at” by anybody, candidates or voters, she’s in the wrong business.
But the MSM continues to give her a free ride. That’s politics in this province.
[Translate]
Yes. Correct. She’s hiding.
[Translate]
I can tell you that a lot of the questions at her Point Grey town hall were picked by her staff. A few people did a good job of trying to “derail” her, no pun intended.
[Translate]
I know.

The difference between average folk and some self promoting person like “Perky Christy” is that most of us don’t hang up news articles about ourselves. Yes some folks put up plaques, but I for one have a number of them from different squadrons, and associations I belonged to. They are somewhere in a closet along with my medal for 22 years non detected crime.( CD) The more average folk learn about the self important women the less likely they will support her. The Liberal caucus , except for one backbencher( Now Cabinet Minister) shunned her when she decided she wanted to be Premier. And now she is there, she won’t debate anyone running against her for MLA. Strange lady.
[Translate]
Correct. Great comment.
[Translate]
Dam..
I think Christy kidnapped Alex, or is trying to co-opt him into taking some Gov’t position
I just got my case of Remy Martin VSOP from the Ivanhoe, best vintage years (aka :connections”) and was gonna invite him and Christy for a taste testing soiree.
Damn..I guess I will have to call the Hawaiian “B” list.. Fred, Kathy and Gordo..
Maybe next time
[Translate]
Nope, just busy. If she had kidnapped me, I gather neither of us would be around or much longer…
[Translate]
Perhaps Christy is practicing to come and get you Alex…it seems last night she did a ride along with police in the DTES … she wants to do it again in the downtown Grandville district where most of our police resources are spent at closing time…
Some of us wish she was concerned enough about resources to explain why 6 million dollars of tax payers money was spent to pay legal bills of convicted criminals…
[Translate]
Oh how I wish the Premier would come after me. But cowards can’t do that.
Wait for my review tomorrow. It will tell you everything you need to know. And how if David Eby can actually refine his campaign in the final days, he COULD beat her.
Frankly the BC First candidate is a NIGHTMARE.
Until tomorrow.
[Translate]
I am aware that the withdrawal of the HST proposal is a big issue at this site, though I myself am not so convinced that it is all bad. That said, the tax and spend NDP now under Adrian Dix, talk a lot about that tax and its unacceptability, but are uninterested in talking about whether or not they will stand up to unions of the provincial services sector and including the teachers of the province. We wonder if, just like Premier McGuinty, he is already in talks with the union officials involved and is in secret negotiations that would guarantee him their support in the up-coming provincials. This is what the media should be digging into and with terrier-like tenacity.
[Translate]
Alex, I read in one of the comments that said the RCMP, were going to charge you if you released, any documents about the BC Rail sale? if so it is shocking! Does that mean that there will be no more information coming from you re; the BC rail sale? If so what a shame. Good luck in your fight with Clark, RCMP, and the Special Prosecutor . Jesus what a turn off. Cheers Bruce
[Translate]
Don’t be so turned off pal. I’m not giving up and will NEVER give up. Christy Clark’s conduct through the sale of BC Rail is something that will come out one way or another, BEFORE the next election. And I’ll be the one to get it out there.
Just please remain patient.
[Translate]
What a bitch.
[Translate]
I live in Point Grey and I can’t vote for either Clark or Eby.
Can’t stand the Liberals and cannot in all conscience vote for someone who has thrown their support behind the polygamy of Bountiful.
I have reached a point in my life where I firmly believe politicians do not care anything for the people of their ridings.
They only want to further their agendas. In face, they decide to go into politics expressly to fulfill THEIR agenda.
It’s not about the community. It’s about THEMSELVES.
[Translate]
Sadly, you are among many.
[Translate]
Hey Chris, what the heck. Vote for Eby.
Its a vote AGAINST Clark !
Dont worry about voting NDP. If he wins the seat At least he wont be able to accomplish anything as one of the few NDP’ers in the Legislature.
Just to see Christy scurrying around the province trying to find another “safe seat” would be worth the NDP vote! If she though she was too busy to “debate in Pt Grey” wait til she has to represent Cariboo Country !
[Translate]
I consider the right to vote the most important key to democracy.
I will not, and cannot vote for someone I completely disagree with.
Even to defeat a party i can’t stand.
For the first time in my life I will probably spoil a ballot with the words
“Can’t stand any of them”
But I will go to the poll.
[Translate]
Chris(We are legion) – Do you suppose that Dix has more than 1 wife, or girlfriend, or significant other, or catamite or whatever? They say that polygamy is having one wife too many, and that monogamy is having one wife too many too.

“… stupefying evidence of sociopathy that multiple witnesses describe as something extremely troubling; something that you’ll likely find in a bad movie about a stalker’s prey.”… – AGT

Alas, one of my favorite movies.

Not my favourite Eastwood outing, AGT – but that said, anything with/by Eastwood is seldom disappointing… And like certain SingleMalts, vintage ‘GrapeJuice’ – he just keeps getting better!…
Also, afterthought/aside re: ‘Misty’s'/nix that! – Christy’s PersonalShrines & other HighCrimes&Misdemeanors ‘o Narcissism, Vanity, Conceit&Arrogance… I am minded to think of the ‘SevenDeadlySins’ [of ontology] – of which, only one is worse than GrandHypocrisy. And that would be…
Solipsism.
Book her, Dano!

Speaking of races, partakers, bets and winners/losers etc., huge field in the Kentucky Derby. Could be a classic of the classic.

Commentary at SDA suggests Gwyn Morgan of Encana is close with Christy Clark and will be advising her if she is elected. Don’t know about the veracity of same, but there is a piece too, saying that the schools will be making cutbacks because of a cost shortage re: carbon taxes initiated by Premier Campbell before he left. Alex? Will be interesting if they had to lay-off teachers because of this wouldn’t it? Most likely though, it will be the parents picking up the bill in higher education taxes.

Good on Mike Smyth for also starting to call out Christy on her tactics…

C.L.M.
In the dark womb where I began
My mother’s life made me a man.
Through all the months of human birth
Her beauty fed my common earth.
I cannot see, nor breathe, nor stir,
But through the death of some of her.
Down in the darkness of the grave
She cannot see the life she gave.
For all her love she cannot tell
Whether I use it ill or well,
Nor knock on dusty doors to find
Her beauty dusty in the mind.
If the grave’s gates could be undone,
She would not know her little son,
I am so grown. If we should meet,
She would pass by me on the street,
Unless my soul’s face let her see
My sense of what she did for me.
What have I done to keep in mind
My debt to her and womankind?
What woman’s happier life repays
Her for those months of wretched days?
For all my mouthless body leech’d
Ere Birth’s releasing hell was reach’d?
What have I done, or tried, or said
In thanks to that dear woman dead?
Men triumph over women still,
Men trample women’s rights at will,
And man’s lust roves the world untamed.
O grave, keep shut lest I be shamed.
John Masefield
One must remember that he died nearly 50 years ago, and things have improved greatly for women (though not for men!) And yes, I am a bit of a mommy’s boy, but it is, after all, Mother’s Day!
