The BC Liberals Uranium Caper: Another Multi-Million Dollar Mistake

101

Some days, the stories write themselves.

For a week now, we’ve been greeted with the news that due to the typical incompetence and stubbornness of the BC Liberal government, YOU and I are now on the hook for an additional $30,000,000 since they unceremoniously pulled the rug out from under Boss Power, who had three days before the government moratorium, applied to explore a site in the mountains northeast of Kelowna.

THIRTY MILLION, all because the government thought they could get away with sticking it to BOSS, eventually through their lawyers. Once again, the Campbell/Clark government rolling the dice with YOUR MONEY.

Well, as so often happens in such situations, it all backfired–big time. As it did when this government ended up being slapped by the courts over matters such as their illegal conduct with the HEU and education system.

But this uranium matter is more instructive. It speaks to an arrogance I’ve never seen before.

On the other side of the ledger was Kevin ‘Foghorn’ Krueger, then Minister of Mines, known for his withering, lavish run-on tributes to Gordon Campbell–inside and outside the legislature. He was insisting to Cabinet colleagues that Boss should be supported and the ban idea be nixed.

Well, the same government that wants a pipeline across the province and tankers up and down the eco-sensitive coast; the same government that allows open pit salmon farming; the same government that permits lumber firms to log right down the edge of sensitive streams; the same government that says one thing and does another on the environment, wanted a ban on uranium mining to show what great stewards of the environment they are.

Then again, this is the same government that said the ‘Carbon Tax’ would be revenue neutral (haven’t they said that about every tax they delivered?!) while it’s been simply a tax grab and nothing more (it really should be halved and all the money sent to transit).

But it was uranium the government wanted banned and their top hatchet man, Rich Coleman, was out with the full force of the Premier behind him.

Coleman proclaimed, “We sought that moratorium because it’s the right thing to do and the province will see none of that business anymore because it’s wrong. The Cabinet made a decision that we shouldn’t be in that business period.

Really, Rich? That’s really rich…. With yellow cake running in and out of our harbors, the government makes nothing on that, eh? Not a penny, eh Rich?

What a buffoon. Maybe he should ask Pat Kinsella for permission on what to say next to keep Christy in the silks so the full story of  the BC Rail scandal doesn’t spill.

What a ship of fools the BC Liberals are. They’re a rudderless government, completely absent of the moral authority to govern. They can’t even make a good business decision on something as basic as the Boss Power matter. Three days after Boss filed their application, you pull the rug out from under them and you think it’s worth trying to drag it out in court?

I bet they could have settled for a few million. There was no huge cost at the time to Boss. But as is typical of the stubborn manner with which Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark govern, this government pressed the wrong buttons and now YOU’RE stuck with the bill.

Here is a good review of the whole matter by one of my all-time favorite legislative reporters, Justine Hunter–a superb writer and great journalist. 

_______________________________________

I’ll be back later to give you the inside scoop on the visit yesterday of the single biggest moron in Canadian political history (yes, bigger than Stockwell Day or Jay Hill or Eugene Whelan, bigger than Mark Holland or Sheila Copps, much bigger than Hedy Fry or Joyce Murray…um, okay, maybe not Murray).

Presto! Manning was here to help the whores further whore themselves. It just goes to show you that if there were notches for political prostitution, Christy Clark could be declared EMPRESS of BC–easily and with no competition.

And then I’ll tell you about which high-profile Clark staffer wanted to sue me for telling the truth about her and her husband’s proximity to one Erik Bornmann. She was apparently talked off the ledge, but that’s unfortunate. I would have VERY MUCH looked forward to presenting more documents tying her politically to Mr. Bornmann. I mean, let’s face it: Bornmann was a key player in the Clark political bailiwick. Why deny it? Oh yes, I forgot, because the Premier herself denied it, until I exposed her for the disgraceful liar she is.

She was also very upset at Sean Holman for the crime of reporting the truth about her as well–of course, with no colour commentary. Imagine, even the under-torqued are provided no quarter by the Clark camp! LOL!

Anyway, I’m off to a workout and then a visit to ‘Occupy Vancouver’.

I’ll see you later with the Presto! piece.

    It amazes that people resembling the education shown on the Beverly Hillbillies can make into politics. Kevin Krueger has and will always be in my opinion a person who is is totally void between the ears. I’m included a quote from the Kamloops Daily to show you just how stupid this guy is. If anyone can understand the last sentence….well you’re a better person than I am
    ” The former mines minister said the B.C. Liberals took the bold step of banning uranium mining when companies, including at Birch Island in the North Thompson, were moving ahead with exploration in light of record prices.
    “The NDP were too cowardly to do anything at all while in office.”
    A moratorium under the B.C. Social Credit government had expired years earlier.
    Krueger said the $30-million price tag to keep uranium development out of the province is relatively inexpensive, noting the billion dollars in profit made at Highland Valley Copper alone in 2007.”

    This ship of fools, commandeered by the Queen of Victoria, bears more than a passing resemblance to the Altona’s woes. Although she was once active in radio, Ms Clark now has the dubious distinction of leading the most radioactive government in BC history. It’s one so bereft of legitimacy that even those fleeing the floundering ship are too badly contaminated with nuclear fallout to survive for very long.

    Indeed!

    However, one day, and not too far off, it will spill. There is simply no denying that.
    Someone who has been shorted on the Cover-up, will throw their hands in the air, and say, “I’ve been screwed, while others have prospered”.
    You know it’s coming, I know it’s coming…………………. hell even my cat knows that day is near.

    I heard Kreuger on cknw the other day and he called the ndp cowards, and he said it was pathetic that the ndp were pointing fingers ,concerning this $ 30,000,000 LIBERAL screwup. Kreuger has to be one of the most disgusting rude,sarcastis,fools in the liberal party. I wonder how Kevin is coping without his boyfriend Gordy,he must be heart broken.

      It’s truly beyond belief that anyone would take the word of a disgraced fool whose incredibly mindless conduct while leading a party that had no possible hope of being anything more than a protest vote. Manning’s idiotic positions on everything from healthcare to national unity fanned the flames of Quebec nationalism and fueled Pequiste sentiment at a time when it could have been waning. He was a most destructive force in this country and has about as much credibility as Karl Heinz Schrieber–the only difference being that one took and offered money for bribes and the other took money from his own party to become the honourable member from Harry Rosen.

      No wonder Manning likes Christy. It’s all about him. I was offered a private meeting with him once and turned it down flat on the grounds that I couldn’t guarantee my language if he started with that put on Western, down-home bullshit.

    Cover-up feared as taxpayers pay $30M to mining company
    http://bit.ly/uBJGNQ

    So here we have the sharp business minded BCChrities giving away more of our cash. 30 million to Boss, 6 million to Basi/Virk. Who knows how many other give-aways have taken place …

      Well, this is slightly different, in that this government has turned buying off defendants so that damaging information doesn’t hit the public record, into a cottage industry.

      Just as they did with Basi and Virk, they bought Boss Power’s silence by paying them $30,000,000 so that embarrassing information wouldn’t leak to the public.

      Where is Ms. Open and Transparent Government now? Adjusting her halter? Where is the media? Why are they not pressing this issue?

    Its rampant corruption with this govt and im not surprised to see manning show up Mr Harper is at least knee deep as he cant not know whats transpiring in BC and if not he should resign now and move on , as s aid before Fed govt waived GST fees on imported ferries they know what the issue was about and it wasnt because the jobs couldnt be done here either 100s of millions gone with ottawas approval its crap .
    Today there is new articles regarding 2.2 billion in hydro debts due to improper accounting techniques-http://www.vancouversun.com/Hydro+ratepayers+hook+billion+Auditor+General/5618155/story.html
    if IPPs and increases in rates which ive seen regularly with BC Liberals in charge were to improve BC Hydro and make it stable why so huge a debt wtf is going on whose pocketing our money.
    we need a full independent outside audit of BCs books and business dealings in every ministry we need to know where our money has gone and where it is directed to pay off what mess this govt has made.

      1) Please explain how the Prime Minister is “at least knee deep” in knowing of what’s going in in this province and why this is a new duty which he should be committing to? Are you aware of the way this country is constituted? Send me your address and I’ll send you a copy of our Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Perhaps you’ll understand then, that the Prime Minister, indeed the federal government, is in fact, NOT responsible for keeping tabs on what’s transpiring in Victoria or any other Canadian capital or provincial government. Quite to the contrary, provinces operate largely autonomously.
      2) The waiving of the GST on imported ferries was done at the behest of this government, not the one you want to attack. It was recommended by federal accountants. You need to become better informed. But we get it, you hate Stephen Harper. Well, that’s great, but manufacturing reasons seems odd.
      3) You’re mixing issues. IPPs are indeed a problem and should be stopped, but what that has to do with ferries is beyond me. Perhaps you’re swifter than I.
      4) Corruption in Victoria has absolutely nothing to do with Ottawa. The mere suggestion is completely and utterly absurd.

        Alex the Campbell/Harper connection went past friendly hellos as demonstrated by Campbells appointment , Harper is well aware of who was doing what in BC .
        I may be just a tad more pissed off at all of them lately and mixing a few issues
        but waving import taxes to have ferries built elsewhere was as much to punish an industry for its NDP alliance before than any other real reason and any fed tax audit to waive fees should have asked for proof that work was not possible at home it would be in best interests of many Canadian companies in several regions to see such due diligence do you not agree , why send our tax money elsewhere ?
        I am saying the levels of inept operation across several ministries has a common theme privatize as much as possible creating debts on books that make sell offs look good in order to benefit friends your own work has proven its the system applied with this govt it appears its not just BC Rail but any ministry they can find to pillage has been toyed with we need a full independent audit of all ministries books sooner the better , trust me reading 2.2 billion debts to Hydro considering whats transpired over the last 10 yrs was the icing on the cake i paid a hydro bill yesterday that was double what i paid 10 yrs ago where is my money going?
        i have to take ferries tomorrow walk on for 3 plus parking mid-island to mainland 120 dollars return no wonder they are losing riders and as said this is to walk on ive had enough of these scumbags .

    Hi Alex,

    This is the tip of the iceberg..

    Think also of Flathead park and how much the liberal incompetence is going to cost for yanking away mineral/energy rights (BP) to appease the environmentalists in Montana.

    For a government that is willing to “consult” with the Native Industry ad nauseum, they sure don’t have a problem with sticking it to wealth-generating corporations in order to get a few hundred more votes. Lekstrom was at the Helm for Flathead and Bennett dreamed it up.

    They are doing their best to destroy mining in BC. I sure as hell am never voting Liberal again.

          Christy is pumping prosperity knowing full well it will be rejected because it lies on “stolen native land”. There isn’t a hope in hell of that mine getting approval but that won’t stop the government from trying to encourage more people to invest in exploration activities.

          To their credit, The libs have promoted mineral exploration very well, but at the same time know that when a resource gets defined, they can simply drag the permitting process on forever until company xyz goes bankrupt.

          Iits the BC way and the reason why there’s tonnes of mining companies based in BC but only a handful that bother to develop projects other than pump and dump ventures.

    I would ask why 500 million should leave my country and pay foreign wages when i could certainly use the generated tax /cpp/ei contributions in my federal coffers , makes sense does it not?
    those issues are what make em question politicians real leaders take steps over and above and help people where they should not sign rubber stamp approvals with no oversight.

I’ve taken positions that are supportive of political parties influences well-outside my own political beliefs. My support of the Prime Minister is no different. He’s further to the right than I am, but on key points like the economy, foreign affairs and provincial autonomy, he’s been terrific.
          3) Campbell’s appointment was originally rejected by two of the PM’s senior staffers. I cannot tell you what happened after that as I would be betraying the confidence of someone who is one of three people (excluding me) to know the whole story, inside-out. Sorry.

    Guess I’m completely out of the loop again here. I absolutely want to see a pipeline across the province from the oil sands to refineries and massive tankers on our ports. I also want to see uranium being mined (if there is a market for it) and I want to see the prospect mine go ahead, and any other mine that is feasible, because I want jobs for Canadians, and Aboriginal Canadians if they want them. We have huge mountains of minerals out there just waiting to be mined, refined and processed and made into products, if possible. I want the water that is being dumped into the sea, to be captured and sold to the highest bidder, and …. I happen to like Presto and voted for him on several occasions. He put the run on the likes of traitors like Joe Clark (whom I also once voted for) and the other twit (whose name I have forgotten) who jumped to the Liberals.
    By the way, who remembers the doom and gloom prognostications about the Gulf of Mexico and the entire Caribbean being turned into a Dead Sea because of the huge oil spill? Seems Mother Nature has a way of fixing things faster and better than we can destroy them.

    Sean Holman has bust his be-hind to get to where he’s got.

    But the worst kept secret is he’s starved for cash to continue his ops.

      AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Neither one of them would ever cover any of my stories, it’s why I booted Holman from my blog roll and Leslie still thinks I was “jerky” to Carly Nicol for censoring me with respect to ongoing comments I was making in the press about the Premier–the same press that have now finally arrived at the same conclusions. I was attacked by a fellow panelist in Holman’s radio program and instead of reprimanding that idiot who made the statements he did, Holman sat on his hands and NEVER apologized to me at all. Sean’s a nice guy, but he’s got some very interesting principles. If you don’t like them, he has others. That he’s being allowed to bring young minds into journalism at UVic is laughable. What’s he telling them? His disciples will be putting out the most bland and sometimes inconsequential claptrap on the planet. Sean’s recent Tyee piece on Clark’s insiders was very good, but not great.

      And I don’t know why a syndicated columnist would whine about money. He’s employed at Monday Magazine, the Mop and Pail, UVic and collects advertising on his blog. When you make such claims people start to wonder.

      Hey, don’t get me wrong, Holman was pivotal in helping my career as a writer, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful. But his behind-my-back criticisms (read: penis-envy) is a little much. When he was canned at 14 hrs and I made the cut he was apoplectic. I didn’t appreciate that, but the pettiness in this business is so rampant, it now just slides off my back.

      If the media were more me than Sean, this province would have a different govt and more honest politicians.

      Think about it.

    Thank you for telling the world (and me) about Sean Holman getting whacked by Team CC.

    Just one more demerit towards Christy Clark.

    Sean Holman has bust his be-hind to get to where he’s got.

    But the worst kept secret is he’s starved for cash to continue his ops.

    Attacking him will fix that problem pronto. Provided he can broadcast he was attacked and needs cash to even the playing field.

    Makes it almost impossible to support Christy’s people after this. Holman fights for people who need fighting for. I think THAT was supposed to be the Christy Clark brand, now AWOL.

    Alex, I listened to Vanilla Bill just now. And right at the last minuet, they mentioned that Clark was heckling one of the opposition,Palmer and Baldrey both said that it was unprimer like to act this way. Vanilla was quiet on this. If there were anything that could prove that Clark was not fit for the job of primer, They just had to listen to her former cheer Leaders in there statements that she was unqualified for the job. I guess the penny has finnally drop for Baldrey. Cheers

    Today there is new articles regarding 2.2 billion in hydro debts due to improper accounting techniques-http://www.vancouversun.com/Hydro+ratepayers+hook+billion+Auditor+General/5618155/story.html

    Just to add that I called BC Hydro the other day to stop them from installing a smart meter on my house and they told me that they cannot do that until I receive a letter from them stating that they are coming to install the smart meter and I am not on their list for installation as yet.
    Any odds on that letter coming the day after the meter has been installed??? Any takers???

    i happen to have the fortune of Mr Krueger as my MLA we have suffered many years with his twiddle and daft blaming of the ndp for everything including winter and toll booths. he even wanted a speed increase for when he commuted down the Coq.
    However, maybe they will close a few more group homes or delay seismic upgrades to pay for there mistakes/

    Vancouver Real Estate = Drug Money

    If you think the Fiberals have been good for Business in British Colombia, I want to know what business you are talking about. As all indications are that for honest business it has meant going out of business or being driven out of business

    While for the organized crime business, it has been nothing but a growth industry.

    The problem is not the policy it is the out right corruption, in public office, on the Bench, and in the Law society.

    Time to get tough on corruption and start putting the real criminals in jail.
