Heaven help us! Christy Clark is 'not scared of Donald Trump' ... and she's 'not scared of the rich American union leaders'
The other day, a friend posted a comment to something I
had shared online.
They asked, "Why do politicians feel like they need to dress
up when in photo ops? The kind of dress
up that I guess is supposed to say Look at me. I'm just like you"
Well Christy Clark is NOT just like me ... or the majority
of British Columbians ... and she really hasn't had to worry much about getting
the kind of job the rest of British Columbians struggle to find; one where they can
raise a family, and send their children to schools of higher education.
I find her expensive photo ops, where she show up with her
phony beaming smile, to be galling.
Which is why at another one of her recent hard hat /
safety vest events, in Quesnel this past Friday (April 21st) I found her comments
to be irresponsible, or at the very least, careless.
Here's what she had to say:
"I'm not scared
of Donald Trump and I'm not scared of the rich American union leaders."
She went on to say, "We are going to fight and we are going to fight to make sure that the
workers here at West Fraser, the workers at Tolko and the workers at sawmills
across this province get a fair deal."
She might not be scared, but she should be ... and sawmill
workers across the province should be nervous as well.
After all, the Softwood Lumber Agreement expired TWO YEARS
AGO. Now, with the provincial election campaign
well underway, she is suddenly the champion of workers at BC's sawmills.
Where has she been on this file, that impacts thousands of
hard working British Columbians, during the past twenty-four months?
Last time around the United States government imposed
billions in penalties to the softwood industry ... and those penalties cost the
jobs of FIFTEEN THOUSAND British Columbians. (total taken in tariffs /
penalties was $5.3 billion, of which $4.1 was eventually returned).
Have no fear ... Captain Hardhat is on duty, and all alone
she will go up against the evil forces of Captain
Tantastic as he attempts a Trumptastrophe on BC's forest industry.
While Photo Op's appear to be her specialty, along with B---S---ing
the people of BC with phony balanced budgets, she is racking up tens of
billions in added debt. And that's
ANOTHER big worry in this issue.
Twenty Seven Percent (27%) of our provincial debt is at a
floating rate. And don't think a big
kick in BC's forest industry won't ratchet up interest rates on our debt.
Last year fiscal year alone, the cost just to service BC's debt was TWO POINT THREE BILLION DOLLARS.
Captain Hardhat ignores this, and other perils ahead, as
she shrugs them off and says ... "Don't Worry -- Be Happy".
Maybe that's why Moe Sihota was quoted in a recent article in the Vancouver Sun saying that he, "... forecasts Clark’s defeat in the
next election because of what he sees as the weaknesses of her and her party:
arrogance, superficiality, and a tendency to underestimate ..."
Potential disaster might be just
around the corner but fear not. Christy
is not 'scared
of Donald Trump' ... and she's 'not scared of the rich American union leaders.'
Heaven help us!
