    BC Liberals Suck Blog

    And of course there is BC Liberals Suck which has been going since 2005, the last election. With close to 20,000 hits since then, it's been noticed by the people of BC and probably the many parasites, er, media spies, er the Public Affairs Bureau of the Liberals.

    About The Hook

    Have you noticed all the "game-changing" in the news recently?

    Premier Christy Clark's plan to build two liquified natural gas export facilities in B.C.? "Game changer."

    Former ICBC president Robyn Allan's damning report on the economic risks of Northern Gateway? "Game changer."

    Mitt Romney's new debate coach? The coming Nintendo console? Kickstarter?

    All "game-changers," my friends.

    Are we on the cusp of some serious status-quo shake-up, or something? This week, count on The Tyee to scope out and debunk the latest game changers -- whatever that means -- here in B.C. and beyond. -- Robyn Smith
