CHRISTY CLARK ... stranger to the truth ... nose stretcher ... fanciful fabrication



Today, Wednesday March 8, is International Women's Day, and according to the website  International Women's Day is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action ... we're asking you to #BeBoldForChange ... help forge a better working world ...



Some, however, would have to question how some women are helping to forge a better world. 



Never mind the follies and foibles of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne back east ... or even Rachel Notley right next door in Alberta.  What kind of role model would most think BC Premier Christy Clark is for young women aspiring to consider a role, helping to shape policy and legislation, by becoming elected officials?

BC Premier Christy Clark


Just for interest sake, this morning, I did a Google news search under Christy Clark.  Of the top 10 listings, the following four (in order) were definitely negative ... a couple severely so.  Going further down the list also came up with more and more stories, and features, which did not put the Premier in a positive light.






New revelations about Christy Clark's donors (March 7th, 2017)

... paving and road maintenance companies that donated to the B.C. Liberal party received nearly twice as many contracts from the provincial government on average than companies that did not donate ... BC Liberals and transportation ministry also deny any wrongdoing and both said they’re committed to transparency...





The ‘best government money can buy’: How B.C.’s donor system is at odds with most of Canada  (Mar 7th, 2017)


... the B.C. Liberals are counting on big money to help bring them a win ... Clark has steadfastly defended her province’s political donation system, which has no limit on donation size and permits people who don’t live in BC — and even those who don’t live in Canada — to donate ... Clark clearly thinks voters won’t care...





Christy Clark apologizes for hacking allegations (Feb 11th, 2017)


... Christy Clark is a diva of deflection ... this story is allowing her to stop the public discussion of Alex Gervais — a young man in government care committing suicide ...

Huntington said the Liberal Party only has itself to blame for the private document being made public ...





Christy Clark’s World of ‘Alternative Facts’  Consider today’s throne speech promises in light of the premier’s past prevarications. (Feb 10th, 2017)



... there are many other recent examples where the premier was “a stranger to the truth,” to be politely parliamentary ... Can you believe Christy Clark’s claims? You judge ... There’s this ridiculous November Clark nose stretcher ... The Premier’s Office was left to do damage control, with little success ... No fantasy? How about fanciful fabrication? Or complete #FAIL? ...






The International Women's Day organization asks ... What if the world truly stepped up to take bold action?  Will you #BeBoldForChange on International Women's Day 2017 and beyond by taking groundbreaking action that truly drives the greatest change for women.




Christy Clark and her BC Liberal government talk the talk about taking bold action ... their actions however, certainly don't match the talk.



That's it for now ... in Kamloops, I'm Alan Forseth.

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
