    BCTF member sitting at the BC FED convention for the first time and proud of our new relationship. Lots of things are coming down those tracks and loaded to hit one target.

    Could we put his Cabinet Ministers behind him? We will then have to push a CN rail train, because we BC Citizens do not own any anymore!!!

    Maybe we can tie him up with the powerlines. We will still own them when he sells off BC Hydro. What's the difference between Gordon and a drug addict? None. He steals from the public(selling out our jobs) to pay for getting his quick fix(forgetting about the LONG TERM effects), and denies to alls ends that he is wrong or has a problem(ya so what is I get plasted in Hawaii and then drive with double the limit(It was on my own/private time) Its time to get this jerk out of office before there is nothing left in BC to sell to his BIG BUSINESS BUDDIES. PS, Funny how CN won(well, actually given) the bid for the rail deal. they are only the BC Liberals biggest corporate political money donor. Good one Gordo, have another drink with your cabinet thugs.

    Where is the Solidarity Movement - I'm choked at the BC Fed for not organizing a complete shutdown of this province when they had everyone on side - elders, homeless, welfare recipients, Government workers, students, teachers, nurses and doctors, hydro workers, BC Rail,the list goes on and on. The Liberals have slowly wittled everyone down that now evryone is afraid for what jobs or income they still have that it would be hard to stage a general strike - province wide by all sectors of the economy.

    With all due respect to Dave Brocklebank. There is no way that the BC Fed could ever have shut this province down with a general strike. Ther are too many BCers who are either in full support of the government or are otherwise satisfied with the status quo. There is simply a lack of a critical mass of people in the province to muster any substantive opposition to this government.

    One of the most irritating aspects of this government is the level of double talk jive they expect people to swallow.In every instance where Campbell has broken a promise,there has been an additional misleading element inserted - "We kept the tracks" to give him all the"wriggle room" he needs.Had the NDP ever even THOUGHT about pulling this kind of crap "Super Gord" and his corporate media friends would have been howling at the tops of their lungs.
