But most of our other papers have become Harperite cheerleaders.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-24742339174126493732013-10-06T20:11:17.008-04:002013-10-06T20:11:17.008-04:00Seems to me this sort of thing happens in the abse...Seems to me this sort of thing happens in the absence of real knowledge about issues. For instance Canadians don't know anything about the two important trade deals being negotiated right now. Seems to me if we had a media which covered issues like this citizens could make better decisions. When was the last time any of you read an article covering the provisions of these agreements. I have to read blogs to get my knowledge. And no one has covered the fact that RCMP forensic labs are being shut down when they are so badly needed. We learn less and less. No wonder we are so easily manipulated.

Harper rewarded Campbell the post of, High Commissioner to the U.K. Campbell did a lot of dirty work for Harper. Christy Clark also works for Harper, as Campbell did before her.<br /><br />Christy Clark's economic and job action plans, are identical to Harper's. Christy doesn't have any either. Harper prorogues Parliament. Christy prorogues Legislature. Harper's list of degenerates is, as long as his arm. Campbell as his best. Campbell was so drunk, he even drove on the wrong side of the road. Christy hired another of Harper's henchmen Boessenkool. He was so drunk, he did some serious misconduct, to a female staffer.<br /><br />Harper has attended Parliament, 5 days in 6 months. No-one remembers the last time the BC Legislature, had a session?gingersnaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386082013383928747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-43587031254821115322013-10-06T10:44:34.757-04:002013-10-06T10:44:34.757-04:00Old Joe Kennedy -- a master of self promotion -- r...Old Joe Kennedy -- a master of self promotion -- reportedly told his son Jack: "It's not who you are that counts.

A premier who refuses to allow the legislature to sit, is always on the campaign trail literally vomiting out sound bite after soundbite. The marketing has been brilliant to bring Clark, an unelectable moron from the depths of scandal to lead the province. Little do the consumers know, this marketing director has zero to offer the province, much the same as her master harper at the federal levelbcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.com
