Pammy’s Whammy: $130,000 INVOLUNTARY B.C.Taxpayer Kiss to a Christy Clark Friend
In case you missed it, the wedding of the millennium took place some 50 plus days ago (just ask the bride, it’s like no one else has ever bloody well gotten married). Wedded in matrimony were self-described “journalist” Rebecca Scott–formerly Bill Boring’s produceratrix and current Christy Clark staffer with Stephen Smart, all-round nice guy and CBC Vancouver’s Victoria bureau chief (WARNING: If you are a diabetic, view their website with extreme caution). The ceremony was conducted by Justice Bill Smart, who from personal experience, is one of the finest legal minds in the province and equally as decent a guy as his son, the groom.
Among the crowd at the exclusive Vancouver Club, was one Christy Clark, Premier of this province.
Flanking her was BC Liberal media promoter and Clark excuse-provider, CTV’s Jim Beatty and Clark apologist Global’s Keith Baldrey. They sat together for most of the night. In fact, Baldrey, much to my astonishment, has told no shortage of mutual friends in the media what a great time he had hanging with the Preem.
Now, to some of you who still haven’t caught on, I have only one thing to offer on the real story in this post: When the noses of two of three major network bureau chiefs are so far up the BC government’s derriere that they’re tweeting and bragging about spending social time with a woman who leaked confidential Cabinet information to a briber of public officials (Erik Bornmann) during the greatest scandal in BC history, and the third bureau chief is married to Clark’s chief bubble-headed staffer, what makes any of you think that the SHAMEFUL hiring of one Pamela Martin to the Premier’s Office staff is going to be covered with any kind of strength???
Baldrey has effectively emasculated Global’s newsroom by taking positions so pro-Clark that no one else there will get a producer to allow them to fairly cover the provincial government. As for Smart, well, it’s tough when your wife runs the show…and Beatty’s despicable lying about Clark’s “exoneration” through the leadership contest we’ve covered here several times.
But don’t let facts get in the way. While waiting for a in-flight decaf service this morning, next to me was a woman listening to the Vanilla Man on NW while shaking her gently coiffed, golden locks. Apparently, Bill Good thinks that the theft of your tax dollars by Premier Christy Clark (what else would you call unqualified patronage?) to gift her close friend Pamela Martin a job she doesn’t need, is perfectly fine because “most people in Victoria make about $130,000 per year.”
Just how stupid is Bill Good? Well, this HAS to prove it: VERY! Most people in Victoria DO NOT make $130,000 per year, not even those in govt are at all close. But again, don’t let the real story get in the way of a carnival barker like Good ,who also lauded Martin as a “great reporter.”
Fact: Other than a few short years as a reporter–that were entirely unremarkable, all Martin has done is read the news (like Good) and make qualified reporters wait as long as 45 minutes while she chose the electric blue jacket over the fire-engine red one or because she sashayed, stylishly late, from the same hyper-ritzy Yaletown salon that did her hair every afternoon.
Pathetic. If this absolutely shameless act of hiring Martin to be the Premier’s ‘Outreach Director’ (oops, there goes my bullshit detector again) isn’t clear proof that Clark and her government deserve to lose, than I don’t know what is.
Contrary to pro-HST fools like Chris Thompson (whose falsehood-loaded videos I will expose soon) and the like, consumer confidence in this province stinks, housing outside Vancouver is generally down, prices outside of medium to larger business are way up, the stock market is mostly sucking (uneven) wind, people in Cranbrook, Revelstoke, Prince George, Kamloops are being laid off, our resource sector is being bought up by foreign interests piecemeal, but the Premier thumbs her nose at the working man and woman in this province and wastes YOUR tax dollars on a multi-millionaire, whose husband does deals in the tens of millions so as to bolster that very same Premier’s public image.
I talk to people all over this province on a daily basis. I don’t selectively choose which calls to take or which emails to open, as they do at NW, so that I give you some spin. I tell it like it is: We’re in hard economic times my friends and the Premier of this province just handed her millionaire galpal $130,000 per year of YOUR money–for no other reason but to bolster the legion of tax-paid dimbells from various news outlets that are dedicated to covering the Premier’s well-pampered bottom (usually in full wiggle).
Beyond pathetic.
Meanwhile, MBAs from the Sauder School of Business at UBC actually have to look for work.
But please, PLEASE don’t alert Messers Good, Baldrey or Beatty. And forget Smart, he should have been reassigned long-ago as he’s in a complete conflict of interest. But don’t tell the CBC that either.
Behold! Pamela Martin, a woman who openly admitted during the BC LIberal leadership contest to knowing little about politics or at all ever being involved in it, not three months later is handsomely collecting from YOUR pocketbook, while she lives in the lap (um, literally) of luxury in tony West Vancouver, luxury home and all.
How many hot meals for poor, school-aged kids on the Downtown Eastside would just $130,000 per year buy? Programs for autistics?
Nevermind….only in BC could the media ever be successfully whored, time and again, by a woman who used them for four years.

I’m back tomorrow with the Clark pieces I promised. And mark August 15th on your calendars. BC Liberal MLAs have. They’ve been told to “be available” any time thereafter–clearly for an election call. Clark is scared out of her mind as her numbers continue to drop, so she’s going to risk it all, no matter what happens with the HST. This is causing serious indigestion in caucus and a possible revolt may brew. In addition. they have all been whipped for the caucus retreat. To show (false) solidarity, none of them are allowed leave this year.
And then, we’ll talk about a VERY interesting little nugget courtesy for the Auditor=General, who if truly independent (and I believe this to be the case) may deRAIL Clark’s shameless plans…or more.
Stay tuned!
Clissando, thank you, Lilla said much the same to me. “Don’t change a word.” Anyhow I wrote this as you can see with much anger. Stephen may be the best Prime misister ever but I simply do not care. He was wrong and I will never forgive him for this. Why not a Rick Hansen rather than A hated Campbell. They are rubbing salt in an allready painfull wound.
The NDP are cowards with no balls, Were were they when BC rail was given away, not one word when Craig James was shoved down our throats, 100′s of items they should have been screaming about and not a peep. Voted to all the raises Campbell brought in and to the extra years pay if not re elcected. Absolutely discracefull
P/S I would not have a clue how to start a petition even reading how to do it.. But again, thank you.

I do not condone the riot that happened last week, but I can see the point of displaying an absolute hatred for TPTB (the powers that be). I talk with my son’s friends all the time about if they vote (25 to 30ish age group) and they say they don’t, that it is all fixed, so what’s the use.
They have grown more disenfranchised by TPTB and the utterly arrogant, criminal behavior that does not even get the perpetrators a slap on the wrist and says to my generation ,”Well-FU too” and will sooner than later, have our collective heads on a platter (hope I’m nothing collateral damage). I hope it’s sooner, because I’m totally disgusted by the criminal goings on in this province the past 10 years of THIEVERAL rule.
In fact I’m offering up my arsenal to these people when the time comes (though I’ll keep a couple for my own protection, just in case of total chaos). Nobody’s coming through my door without a present.
ANd if you don’t think the mindset is there, step outside Vancouver where the goings are real tough and talk to these disenfranchised ones and you’ll see the ANGER AND HATRED FOR ALL POLITICIANS, whatever stripe they call their own.
The shite might be hitting the fan sooner than the politicians and cops think, just like when they under-estimated the riot (or was that by plan?. Another reason to take away more civil liberties?).
They tell me if something doesn’t change soon, and by all gov’t's, then they are going to react, and it won’t be nice!!!!
Well, just my two shakes at it,

The Vancouver Sun posted a column from Vaughn Palmer last night at 9pm. It shows Leonard Krog needed to see the judge to obtain BC Rail documents. The media already obtained these documents and used them to clear the Liberals.
At 2 am the article was reposted and all the comments were removed. Some of the comments had links to this site as well as Sean Holman’s Public Eye article on David McLean lending Christy Clark his CN Rail jet. Its seems suspicious to me. I’m sure you’re all over this
