What fine print?

Doesn't our Provincial government have TEAMS of lawyers whose JOB is to READ all the fine print? Don't our cities and municipalities have many lawyers and legal people whose JOB it is to read small print in contracts? What were all these highly paid trough feeders doing when this contract came down? WHY did NO ONE actually READ this contract? Can you imagine ANY private business signing a twenty YEAR contract without knowing the implications of said contract? Can you imagine these people keeping their jobs after revelations were revealed that would cost the signee MILLIONS of dollars?

And if you HAVE already signed said contract, (like Dianne Watts in Surrey) and the RCMP and Feds want to add something that costs money, you simply refuse to pay more money under the rule that it was not the deal you agreed to!

Someone needs to be fired! Including a lot of fat cat lawyers and Shirley Bond.

Here's how it works in BC.

The Victoria Parliament Buildings at midnight. A meeting in the janitor's closet between two men ... both are wearing grey fedoras and black trenchcoats, with Groucho Marx glasses and fake mustaches. They are whispering ....

BC Ferries guy - We need a price increase of about four percent to cover our next years bonuses and payouts to executives for great service to the people.
BC Liberal guy - Listen, we always gotta consider the backlash to fare increases. Uh, lose the cigar, would you?
BC Ferries guy - Backlash?  That was only because David was making a million a year and the ridership didn't like it? 
BC Liberal guy - David?  
BC Ferries guy - David Hahn.The last CEO of BC Ferries.
(BC Liberal guy slits open the door and peaks out. No sound from the eerie marble hallway) 
BC Liberal guy - Oh yeah. The guy who was in charge when that ferry sank.
BC Ferries guy - Um, we don't talk about that one, okay?
BC Liberal guy - Well, he took the spotlight off Gordo's salary and pensions.
BC Ferries guy - Gordo who?

BC Liberal guy - Gordon Campbell, the ex Premier who we hid in England.
BC Ferries guy - Oh, I heard about that. The Gordon's gin guy, we toast him with tumblers. What about our fare increase?
BC Liberal guy - No prob. What 'll we say you need it for? Gas? 
BC Ferries guy - Well diesel, that's what we use. The boats were made in Germany, you know, not BC.  Easier to disseminate the money off shore ... if you know what I mean.  (it is so black neither sees the other's wink) Hey, careful where you nudge, eh?
 

BC Liberal guy - Okay, sure, okay. (pause) Well this is how it works here in BC. You come out publicly and ask for, say a 15% increase, we'll have Christy step in and say she's looking after families and only give you like, 4.8%.
BC Ferries guy - What's the .8 percent for?
BC Liberal guy - You'll be in charge of the money, yeah?
(silence in the blackness)

BC Liberal guy - Win win for all of us.

BC Ferries guy - Lose lose for ferry riders though. (snicker) Say, who's this Christy anyways?
BC Liberal guy - New boss lady, Christy Campbell, er, I mean Clark. Oops, Freudian slip .... (a tremble in his voice) Sheez, I could get sent to East Vancouver for that.

BC Ferries guy - Oh yeah, I remember, Clark is the BC Rail woman.
BC Liberal guy - Shhh. We don't talk about that one and we don't remember stuff either. (he worriedly puts his ear to the slit and listens carefully) Psst! If anyone comes just grab a broom and start sweeping.
BC Ferries guy - You'll get this through before any elections or anything though, right?
BC Liberal guy - Done. Even before the secret RCMP contract. Say, you haven't seen BC Hydro guy, have you?

BC Ferries guy - I think I saw him in the gardener's tool shed siphoning gas out of a lawn mower. Hey, wanna grab a burger? I know an underground MacDonald's that stays open after midnight.
BC Liberal guy - Sheez, here in Victoria? Does everyone do illegal stuff now? Okay, but let's leave one at a time.
BC Ferries guy -You couldn't go as a British Harpo, could you?


Since 2003, when the Crown corporation was quasi privatized, BC Ferries' fares have gone up by about 70 per cent on the major routes between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland and by 80 per cent on the minor routes, according to a chart on the ferry commissioner's own website.
As the ridership declines, BC Ferries considers charging more from the few remaining passengers. These are the elite brainy people who run our province for huge salaries. 

Christy Clark cheats again.

She has to call a by-election in Chilliwack. Hasn't called it yet. Christy and her candidate Laurie Throness are campaigning though regardless.
You see, it is a way of getting around the rules again. If she doesn't call it, the BC Liberals can spend all the money they want in Chilliwack to get their man elected because election spending doesn't count if Christy doesn' officially call one.
Sneaky huh?
Election spending only counts after an election is called.

A way to out-spend the opponents by going under the rules. But then these are Liberals, what did we expect from the BC Christy Party?
.

Should much more be said ....

.... than what Alex G. Tsakumis says?
This thorn in the side of the BC Liberals and Christy Clark is growing pricklier.

The BC Liberal government has most of the mainstream media in their pockets, obvious by their lack of coverage of anything negative about the party. Yet Alex just won't leave things alone. He acts like he is an old world journalist seeking the truth. Nothing like the current crop of media hacks in print, TV and radio, all being wined, dined and courted by the BC Liberals and their fire stompers.

This 'Atwal Affair' is one more emerging problem for a party so used to lying about everything it cannot stop.  The Christy Clark Liberals are like an old pickup truck, rushing toward the railroad crossing trying to beat the thundering locomotive, and in the back are all those same old lying cabinet ministers and henchmen, clutching on for dear life, still believing they can dupe the BC voters one more time.

Maybe that locomotive is a BC Rail engine?

The Kiss

Kissing has been, for generations, a way to seal the deal. Depending on what the deal is. Sometimes the deal is sneaky. The kissing goes on, from man to woman, (The wedding Kiss - with this ring I thee wed) which can be a sneaky deal; man to man (the Judas Kiss - the betrayal of Jesus) which was definitely a sneaky deal; and woman to woman, (the lesbian Kiss - a stolen moment) very often titillating and sneaky too but harmless.
 
Then there is another kiss, the secret deal kiss - the ultimate sneakiness which holds way more danger for way more people.

We`ll leave it to you to decide which one has the most potential of sneakiness ......

Christy Clark and Alison Redford
 Sneaky Dealings?

Alison Redford, the Premier of Alberta, has announced that she will, 'clear a path through BC for the Enbridge Pipeline from the Alberta Tar Sands to the BC coast.'  Some are wondering at what cost and what secret deals may be made behind the backs of British Columbians who clearly do not want a pipeline through their pristine wilderness? We don't know if Christy and Alison are an item or not, but the ominous significance of that hug is enough to scare the hell out of us and explode our sneaky meter.

Only one of these woman to woman endearments would be really bad for you.

But you already know which one, don`t you?
.

Did You Know?

Entry in our  -  Did You Know  -  section.-

Did you know that Christy Clark has hired an ex Enbridge Lobbyist as Chief of Staff. What does that tell you about her position on the controversial Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline project? Ken Boessenkool, is that man.
Do you think our self designated Queen of BC will be objective about potential oil spills with an evil counselor ala Basil Rathbone character whispering sweet somethings in her ear ?  Does she really believe she can convince us that Mr Boessenkool has no interest now in that Alberta tar sands pipeline to inland waterway Kitimat? Check out here for the route >  (http://caterwauls.blogspot.com/)
He was also a lobbyist for a Taser company! OMG.

Sort of like those people who are hired to tell us how WAR is good for us, you cannot believe a word coming from their mouths!
Methinks the lobbyists feel they have a double agent within the Liberal ranks.

Or was that the rank Liberals?

.
PS: BC Conservatives have just released info telling us that Boessenkool is the guy who thought up the per-capita proposal for health care dollars that Prime Minister Harper wants to implement and that Christy Clark sees as unfair to BC. More than a little embarrassing.   

Rearrangement

The BC Christy Liberals have tried about everything to look different since Gordon Campbell was shamed out of office. Yet Christy BC Liberal Clark's popularity continues to plummet. The problem, of course, is that no one can believe a BC Liberal, simply based on past performance and the fact that no one is changed among that cadre of scoundrels who have duped the BC public now for so many years.
The people of BC just can't bring themselves to trust these guys with any responsibility whatsoever.
It seems inevitable that the BC NDP party will form a government and the worst of all scenarios for the BC Christy party is that the BC Conservatives will likely be the official opposition, leaving Christy Clark to occupy that hallway closet office that her friend Gordon designated so cruelly to the lone NDP MLA so long ago.

The only thing remaining is to guess how many BC Lieberals will try to desert the Christy sinking ship and join that conservative party. The wise whisper of advice to John Cummins might be to avoid those slinking rats like the plague they bring with them.
Oratory may echo from the chambers of the legislature but the sibulent sound slipping under the door of that broom closet will probably still be - fast ferries fast ferries fast ferries.
