Mr. Harper’s BC Huffy Harridan Lets Him Hang: Now Christy Loves You, Now She Doesn’t….

50

Well, now that didn’t take long, did it?

Not 48 hrs after the Premier of BC’s office invited the Prime Minster to an ambush photo op at the hockey game of Ms. Clark’s son, she’s turned on him.

No, you say?

Read on.

At the final press conference today for the Premiers’ summit on healthcare, hosted this week by a completely embarrassingly, obviously out-of-her-depth Christy Clark,  the Prime Minster was appropriately excoriated for cutting off the provinces efforts to negotiate in December, by unilaterally declaring the “increase” demanded as a “non-starter.” His position was take it or leave it.

Apparently, they want to do neither, at this point.

With the agreement expiring in 2014, the Premiers of every province assembled in Victoria over the last few days to hash out how they would proceed in defining the scope of medical practitioners’ work, total costs from doctors’ and nurses’ salaries and common clinical guidelines.

After yesterday’s humiliating performance at the podium by Ms. Clark, where she said absolutely nothing of substance (there’s a shock!) and included a stupefying FOUR giggles (no, I’m not bloody well kidding) while talking about how much suffering there was in the healthcare system across the province and country, we were greeted at today’s presser with a rather brilliant opening grenade lobbed by the CBC’s Terry Milewski (one of my favorite Canadian reporters), who asked the Premiers about the Prime Minister’s brinksmanship. “Here’s your opportunity to tell the Prime Minister what you really think of what he did…”

And that’s all it took for Quebec Premier Jean Charet to completely unload on the Prime Minister opening with “Well, none of us expected to be blindsided by the Prime Minister….it’s absolutely unprecedented…” And it got worse from there, although he did offer an olive branch about how there was still time on the clock for the federal government to reengage in negotiation and then brilliantly explained a rather complicated funding equation that made it clear: The Tories are going to be starving parts of the Canada’s ongoing commitment to healthcare and this was “abominable” (the exact word he used to describe the scenario during one of his answers to a Francophone reporter).

If you could have seen Premier Prom Queen’s face, it was classic. Rather than the deer-caught-in-the headlights gaze she usually sports, it looked like someone had spontaneously snapped her garters under the table. Classic!

The best part–and the part the IDIOTS who thought it was a good idea to counsel the PM go and ultimately be used for the Premier’s weekend photo op must watch, is anything Ms. Clark said after Mr. Charest finished clobbering the Prime Minister from pillar to post for his lack of cooperation thus far.

Do you know how she defended the guy who just accompanied her to her son’s hockey game? The chap who provided her a perfect photo op with which to silently browbeat the BC Conservatives?

Let me tell you: She didn’t say a goddamned flipping word. Nothing. She couldn’t even bring herself to come to his defense, not just because she was sitting next to a heavyweight like Mr. Charest, who could have walloped her with his championship ring and belt, and not because she is clueless about almost any issue, but because she couldm’t (once again, your rights to properly funded national healthcare trump her political needs: she needs Stephen Harper to continue to be fool enough to allow her moments like this weekend so that she can try to convince conservatives in BC that she’s the chosen one and John Cummins isn’t (although, I assure you this is a strategy that will surely backfire).

But it was the most marvelous example yet that Ms. Clark is so woefully underwhelming and ill-equipped to govern this province that John Cummins or Adrian Dix would make mincemeat of her. I’m told by an eyewitness that during an in camera session, she completely got lost over the funding formula and didn’t know any of the percentages that others like Mr. Ghiz and Ms. Redford had at their fingertips. Of particular note, I am continually more and more impressed by Premier Redford of Alberta, although I am a very big fan of the Wildrose’s Danielle Smith.

And worry not if you think our Premier’s performance went unnoticed….

As one very senior aide from another province put it to me late this afternoon: “I can see why her poll numbers are so bad. She’s either not very intelligent or has some sort of undiagnosed anxiety disorder. She stutters and stumbles over everything and tries to rescue missteps with big smiles and silly turns of a phrase or peculiar, out of place generalities.”

You bet! A perfect summation of Premier Clark’s abilities. That’s our Christy!

Oh, so’s this:

Look at the brazen, shameless acting….

This was the picture I didn’t show you yesterday. Notice the unabashed hoisting of the Tim Horton’s cup, even though I’m told by insiders she’s a Starbucks girl.  Also, notice how she’s so over emotive (and fresh from Maui, I’m also told). He’s just sitting there thinking how great it’ll be if he can convince this dunce to support the pipeline. Well, Mr. Prime Minister you can’t count on her to back you up when the Premier of Quebec is leading a not-too-unreasonable charge against your lack of interest in democratically negotiating an agreement that affects every Canadian. You think this dimwit’s opinion on a pipeline is going to matter?

Good luck with that, Sir.

Christy: Hey, Steve, come in closer would’ya, it’s a little cold so close to the ice and I just got back from Maui…um, there’s something I need to ask: wanna see the ‘Venus Butterfly’?

PM: Oh, why I think Laureen got one at Christmas for her Harley…less dust on the seat she says.”

Christy: Um, that wasn’t the kinda ride I was offering buddy…I showed it to a couple of my CKNW colleagues and they’ve never been the same..now do ya get it?” (Winks twice…)

PM: Oh really? Goodness me, did you get it at a pet store? Golly gee willikers, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those…?

Christy: Um, no, no pet store involved…ah, but there’s petting involved…NOW DO YA GET WHAT I MEAN???

PM: Oh shucks Christy, of course, how silly of me…the ‘Venus Butterfly’…golly, you were a skater when you were younger!

Just watch, this is going to be a trainwreck for both of them. He’ll lose traditional, long-standing Tories in BC if this idiocy continues and she’ll chase the very same constituency straight over to the BC Conservatives. Neither agenda has been thought through at all.

And screwed, in the meantime, will be YOU, the never-mighty taxpayer because you have a Premier that hasn’t the first damn clue about what she should be demanding for your better healthcare. Or anything else…

While the BC NDP sleeps…and the BC Conservatives navel gaze…

    I reacted in a similar way – she cozied up to Harper one day and the next as chair/host of the Premiers she joins in on their Harper-bashing. I happen to agree that he deserved to be bashed for his and Flaherty’s attempt at unilateral one-sided rewriting of health funding arrangements for our Christy to so quickly join in after the previous day’s favours demonstrates that she is in over her head and is truly merely a puppet of higher powers; she could and should have played a bit more coy like she has been doing on the Enbridge pipeline, at least for the benefit of her party and the province, but instead like a bitch in a wolf pack she turned on her new friend and helped eat him alive. Harper did deserve to be chastized and corrected but in the circumstances it was foolish for Christy to so quickly join in.

      Well, Prime Minister Harper’s idiot brigade of foolish advisors and he himself must share the blame in what Christy did today. He allowed himself to be used and the next day she let him hang.

      Christy has never had any loyalty to anyone in her entire life, unless that person was able to deliver something to her. It has always been and will always be about her.

      Ye reaps what ye sows…I just can’t believe how stupid the federal Conservatives are playing this.

    ” completely embarrassingly, obviously out-of-her-depth Christy Clark ” I just had to pass this along to reinforce your description of someone who is really over her head. And the following doesn’t say much for the millions being spent on PR, let alone the over priced & unqualified Director of Outreach (Pamela Martin). From today’s paper ” The letter, signed by Premier Christy Clark was addressed to Burns Lake’s past mayor Bernice Magee and discussed Magee’s health care concerns for the local area. Premier Clark also congratulated Magee on her recent reelection to the seat of mayor.
    The letter was officially received by new mayor elect, Luke Strimbold during a council meeting last week.
    In an embarrassing bungle, Premier Clark overlooked Mayor Strimbold’s Nov. 10, 2011 win at the polls. Not only was Magee not reelected, but she never joined the election race for the seat.”

    BIG SURPRISE . . . Premier T&A uses someone, anyone and then throws them away!

    Ms. Cute & Perky, along with her ever “enhancing” cleavage will use the Left, the Right and the Center all at once then denounce them before the ink is even dry on her phony thank-you-card.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s the Trailer Park Boys or the Terminal City Club our beloved Great Successor Premier will use them for a Keith Baldrey love-in, them flush them down the WC the next day.

    The reality is all of this has nothing to do with politics it’s all for personal power, wealth and ego, since Christy has no ideology just an obsessive personality defect.

    Her kind have existed in Argentina & the Phillipines, Evita & Imelda used every male and even a few females to make themselves Third World super-divas.

    I suspect that the fast becoming politically-toxic Athana, along with her contract-chasing hubby will be cut loose just before the next election to appease “anti-on-the-take” crowd in the national media.

    The list of friends of the premier will be getting smaller and smaller as we near E-Day.

    Ultimately even Hamish will get the boot the moment he is no longer a . . . Mommy Dearest Photo-Op.

    After seeing this photo maybe Mr. Harper has another agenda for Ms. Clarke because it certainly looks to me like he’s got that ” if looks could kill” look in his eyes, or am I trying to see something thats not there?

      I thought that too. But I don’t think so. I’m hearing from some of the Prime Minister’s strategists that the move backfired. They’ve had a huge backlash against them for allowing the PM to attend a personal event with the Premier. Frankly, I blame him as much as the idiots that advised him to do it. It was an exceedingly stupid move.

    The out of province aide’s assessment of her is a true characterization.
    Couldn’t have said it better myself.
    She could be in for a rough ride thanks to Falcon’s stalling on the HST front.
    Stay tuned, the grassroots are about to sprout some vitriol that may not produce many smiles (of the phony photo-op variety or otherwise) in the east Annex.

    He’s going to lose traditional, long standing tories?! The process has already started. Just ask some, they are tired of the Mulroney-esque Ministers (i.e. Moore) and policies (i.e. EAP, Veteran’s Charter) being paraded out as real ‘c’onservative policies. Some of us devoted our time to the party as we thought Harper was a fiscal conservative. Apparently he isn’t. Sigh.

      I don’t get what he’s thinking, especially here on the west coast. We have one of the largest aging populations, and probably the largest environmental conscience outside of Quebec. So not only does he start to piss off the healthcare crowd (which is also a big portion of his right-leaning base, Seniors), but also the environmental lobby (that granted doesn’t vote for him anyway), and the interior base (that is heavily right leaning) that doesn’t want to see a risky pipeline / port pushing raw bitumen to ship raw resources and yet more jobs to China.

      Now he’s pal’n around with Christy Clueless, and as everyone has noted, what does he stand to gain? Even Mr. Moore is starting to put out that ‘my crap don’t stink’ attitude, and there’s more then a few local vocal C’s that are giving their heads a shake.

      Is 2012 the year of bizzaro or something?

        I’m with you.

        It’s flummoxed several long time Tories in BC including some former BC organizers who have already told Ottawa they’ll shred their cards if an alliance with the dimwit is formed.

        Simply put: it will demonstrate that Stephen Harper is nothing more than anyone else he previously criticized. Oh well, if all he wants is one majority term, so be it. If he keeps this up, I assure you, the next government will be an NDP/Liberal coalition and the man to blame for putting such a disaster in government will be Stephen Harper.

        The arrogance of many of the people around him is astounding. Absolutely astounding. It’s clear that on some very major issues like the environment, the economy and crime, they either half a half baked plan or none at all.

        It begs to ask the question: how long before Canadians start tot turn their backs?

        That there is no alternative won’t matter. The party either splits again or good people stay home instead of venturing to the ballot box. .

    Upon reflection what we have in BC is a Dow-Corning Government where everything in one form or another is “enhanced” or “fake” to cover-up all the flaws and total gaps in its substance . . .

    Pamela Martin, after a decade of Mega-Botox use that 50-Plus-face doesn’t even move . . . let alone have any wrinkles.

    Kevin Falcon, hair-plugs gone haywire, there are days it looks like it was transplanted from his pubic region.

    Ms. Cute & Perky, in 1993 she was a B-Cup butt-kisser for HRH David Anderson. By leadership campaign 2011 she was a C-Cup MILF hunting for hockey-votes in Mission-Abbottford-Surrey Trailer Parks.

    When the BC election finally comes around she will be BC’s D-CUP WONDER!

    If this kind of political plastic ambition is taken to the next level, when she runs for Prime Minister, Christy will have renamed and rebuilt herself as . . . CHESTY CLARK.

    Let us hope Jean Charest is the point man for all provinces hes intelligent and experienced and knows Ottawa as well as anyone and is generally a good man met him many times , Harper is doing exactly what i thought he got his majority may have and is leaning to his far right support base the advisers and signs he would were all there .
    Clark is playing the game exactly as she has from day one she is a puppet and not a very smart one should we be surprised by her now.

    Harper was more balanced about what he did in minority moves were measured , he has opened doors to Fed Liberal rebuild to gain speed , pipelines tankers and healthcare funding will give them that ability to show policy far more appealing to voters Canada will always be a socially leaning society Conservative attempts to take us farther right will very likely end the majority they enjoyed .
    Why would any party open themselves up knowing healthcare is likely the one issue in Canada that is almost universally supported im lost trying to understand Harpers Governments logic .

    I also understand the Deputy Premier All But Title & Health Minister is rather silent. Perhaps because some BCLobbyist friend of mine is showing him up via some YouTube postings like http://youtu.be/7Zrh9ZDwzL4 & http://youtu.be/3rB4C17yXyo .

    Can’t wait for the BCLibs to realize they need somebody of sterner stuff. As in somebody who can take on Moe Sihota on C-FAX and make Moe page himself to FLEE (CFAX 1130 today half hour great listening)!! Or at the very least a passionate mere mortal who can get PMSH’s back instead of socialist Quebec’s!

      The problem with Mr. Boessenkool’s thesis is that he fills his reader with only part of the truth–a Jesuit lie, if you will.

      The provinces have NEVER negotiated a deal inside the cost of living or the growth rate. Without that ket piece of information the only thing his column purports is an ideal world after decades of quite the opposite.

      These matters don’t just become instantaneously corrected. It takes careful negotiation. Something the federal government isn’t prepared to do at this point.

    You’re right on the mark AGT, I noticed her doing the same thing a week or so ago in a press conference talking about BC’s deficit. Crusty had the gall to start giggling while spouting off that “we” (the taxpayers) will have a bigger deficit than they (the Lieberals) predicted because “they” (we, the taxpayers) have to pay back the 1.6 B in hostage HST payments. it came across as so .
    That giggling is obviously a defense mechanism to cover untruths (LOTS of giggling lately), and she must be at conflict with her social climber side, being in the realm of professional sociopaths. Oh, what a hard road we travel……
