“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country.

The Great Debate: Sickly Smile ... You Should Have Done This ... You Never Apologized



Here's my synopsis of the televised election debate last light, between BC Liberal Christy Clark, the Green Party's Andrew Weaver, and John Horgan for the NDP. 

Lights -- Cameras -- Action.  And then basically the same thing played out over and over, through-out the 90 minutes.


Christy Clark

                                    Jobs

            sickly smile

                                                You'll add more taxes

                        Sickly smile

$1.00 a day


Andrew Weaver (alternate looking Left to Right -- alternately pointing Left to Right)

                You didn't do this ...

                                                                                                                You didn't do that ...

                                You should have done this ...

You should have done that ...


John Horgan (I'll keep smiling not matter what they through at me)

            "If you came to question period more often I could ask you about ..."

"You've never apologized to the kids that lost a generation of educational opportunity"

                        Housing ... "Why did you wait so long"

"We have put forward legislation 6 times to get big money out of politics"



Christy Clark

                                    Jobs

            sickly smile

                                                You'll add more taxes

                        Sickly smile

$1.00 a day


Andrew Weaver (alternate looking Left to Right -- alternately pointing Left to Right)

                You didn't do this ...

                                                                                                                You didn't do that ...

                                You should have done this ...

You should have done that ...


John Horgan (I'll keep smiling not matter what they through at me)

            "If you came to question period more often I could ask you about ..."

"You've never apologized to the kids that lost a generation of educational opportunity"

                        Housing ... "Why did you wait so long"

"We have put forward legislation 6 times to get big money out of politics"


Christy Clark

                                    Jobs

            sickly smile

                                                You'll add more taxes

                        Sickly smile

$1.00 a day


Andrew Weaver (alternate looking Left to Right -- alternately pointing Left to Right)

                You didn't do this ...

                                                                                                                You didn't do that ...

                                You should have done this ...

You should have done that ...


John Horgan (I'll keep smiling not matter what they through at me)

            "If you came to question period more often I could ask you about ..."

"You've never apologized to the kids that lost a generation of educational opportunity"

                        Housing ... "Why did you wait so long"

"We have put forward legislation 6 times to get big money out of politics"


We'll all have our own opinions of who won, however I believe John Horgan took this round.

Christy Clark looked unbelievable, after the first five minutes, because the same sickly smile never left her face.  It left her looking unbelievable.

Andrew Weaver looked like a grumpy father from the 50's as he alternately looked, pointed and chastised Christy Clark and John Horgan for 'not doing this' ... 'not doing that' ... over and over and over again.

John Horgan at times, looked like a deer in headlights but remained composed as he brought forward the NDP plan.  At the same time he held Christy Clark accountable for the BC Education system, what he called a lost generation of children, along with huge increases in housing prices.

There's less than two weeks to go -- anything could happen between here and then.

    Once again Horgan came off as a big buffoon. He even managed to misspeak his line about corporate funded campaigns. Horgan showed no respect for either of his opponents.
    The Vancouver Island Horganites must be getting very worried about Weaver's growing attraction to voters in the once sold NDP fiefdom on the Island. If Weaver's Green Party cnadidates win a couple of those ridings, Horgan is very likely going to spend another four years where he rightfully belongs - in opposition.

WARD STAMER: “Hopefully he’s actually listening to what people have to say, and not just showing up for a photo op”

In his latest travels across the province, BC Forest Minister Ravi Parmar touched down in the Okanagan. A trip essentially, he said, to be on the ground meeting industry people. I read what he had to say, and about how he has been tasked with getting more timber to market. Let me start by saying, “ He hasn’t been tasked. He and Premier Eby guaranteed 45 million cubic metres of available wood fibre – they guaranteed that .” BC Timber Sales is a government agency within the provincial forest’s ministry, which is responsible for managing a portion of the province's Crown timber; specifically, 20 percent of the province's annual allowable cut. Unfortunately, BC Timber Sales did not provide anywhere near that amount last year, it was just 12.2 percent. Three years ago, BC mills cut 52 million metres of wood, bringing in nearly $2 billion dollars to the provincial treasury. That figure doesn’t include the taxes from 55,700 people directly employed in the industry, nor from the tens o...

  Chantelle Williams/Facebook “Somebody has to come out and tell the truth on what happened and who’s at fault” ~~ Martin Watts, Uncle of Chantelle Williams The Conservative Party of BC is urgently calling for a coroner’s inquest into the death of 18-year-old Indigenous youth Chantelle Williams, who tragically died under the care of Usma Nuu-chah-nulth Family and Child Services, an agency of the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

BC Conservatives launch petition in effort to halt BC NDP's 'power-grabbing' Bill 7 (Western Standard)

The BC Conservatives have launched a petition in an effort to block the BC NDP's controversial Bill 7. If passed, the Economic Stabilization (Tariff Response) Act would give the government sweeping power to combat the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump without legislative approval ... BC Conservatives labelled Bill 7 "the most undemocratic, power-grabbing legislation in BC history," warning that it would "grant Premier David Eby and his Cabinet unprecedented powers to override provincial laws, regulations, and even personal privacy rights." "This isn't just legislation, it's a direct attack on our democracy and on your freedom." ... CLICK HERE for the full story
