Sound of head shaking......

I won't even begin to comment on Campbell's speech to the UBCM. It didn't even begin to make sense as originally spoken. The look in his eyes in the photo above is almost manaical. Sad.

SAD

Actually when I look at that picture I thing about Saddening. How a man can start with so much glamour and end up with so low. I say again that we should have a law for two term for any leader of a party. They get too confortable and starts to think that they are God. Campbell will be remember for his lies for the rest of his life and his legacy will be the disgraciful way he left his party. He will be out soon but if he does goes on, it only shows that the man has no principles at all. I'm sure that he will do everythin in his power to mudder the waters about the HST and to make sure that it stays in this province. It doesn't matter what the people wants. That is the problem with the MLA's right now, they are refusing to listen to people that vote for them. They are getting the same disease that their boss: they think they are GOD! Would be much simple to say, I'm sorry, we make a mistake and cancel the tax. It will never happens so I do hope the recall campaign is a success. It would be a eye openner for any politician in the future.It is more than time for people to take action and take back their power.

What does it take...

What I want to know is, what does it take to get a political leader charged with treason? Selling off assets that belong to the public? (Check.) Lying to the electorate? (Check.) Deliberately implementing policies that may kill our recovery and is bankrupting small businesses? (Check.) [Insert your Campbell debacle here...] (Check.)

This man has *GOT* to go, and the sooner the better. With all the harsh feelings expressed towards this sociopath of a "leader", I seriously wonder how it is we don't have more political assassinations in this country. Gee, maybe the gun registry works! (Mixed blessing, that...)

Interesting to observe

the desperation now apparent in this government and its cheerleader/shills in the MSM.

I believe a lot of the consternation comes from the fact that now there is a real possibility that Campbell or members of his government may be recalled by legislation that was designed to never work for the people.
And now? This recall thing I find fascinating to observe; it is a type of rebellion we are witnessing; a revolution; Canadian style of course.

Could he be remembered as the first Canadian premier to be bounced from office by Recall?

You also have to wonder about the irony of the worst premier we have ever had in this province wanting to be remembered as the guy who brought us the most corrupted sporting event on the planet.....ice skating and the rest of the Olympics? Isn’t it kind of fitting.....both of them together at last?

Where is the leadership?

Where is the leadership? Where are the huge demonstrations? Where is the Recall? It does seem ironic that we in BC have the tools needed to make ourselves heard by the government, but don't have the brains to use them. There are two things needed:
1. A genuine Recall site. Where all the elements for change can be organized into a co-ordinated Coalition for Change.
2. Once there is a compass pointing the disenfranchised towards change, things could be organized locally - protests and recall campaigns by riding. Letter writing to newspapers and alternative sites with links to the Recall site.

Give people that kind of direction and a forum to make plans. You will see protests in the major cities.
I'm not advocating revolution but we need change. You know and I know that this change is coming all over the world. Here we have the tools at hand to peacefully throw out a neocon government which doesn't work for us. Will we ever get another chance if we don't do it now?

A legitimate recall campaign is needed. Not this Wooden Shoed Three Card Monte Mr. Vander Zalm is trying to sell us. Mark my words, that is a right wing 'Co-opt and Control' game. THANK YOU to all the volunteers who got us to this point and I see many of them also want immediate recall.

Sorry, but having a contest to pick just three ridings to target, and waiting til next January to start just doesn't cut it. First, three MLAs being recalled won't topple this government. Second, waiting till January will waste the very best time - Christmas. Imagine overtaxed and underpaid BCers with thin wallets rushing from mall to mall and the only relief they find is in Recall groups with signs which say:
'GIVE YOURSELF AN HONEST GOVERNMENT FOR CHRISTMAS. Repeal the HST and Recall the Liberals!'
Third, don't forget that Elections BC is now controlled by a Liberal appointee. So applications for recall should be filed at the earliest possible date - which is Nov. 15.
Vander Zalm will never do that because he knows that if there were an election next spring the NDP would win. And the NDP knows that if they win and don't repeal the tax they are toast. Angus Reid poll says NDP is in the driver's seat.
Meanwhile, as time passes, the Liberal party is hiring dozens of sociopathic propagandist zombies and Gordon Campbell is spending money like a drunken sailor. Where will the money come from to pay for these infrastructure projects? As a commenter on the Vancouver Sun put it: 'Mr. Campbell seems to be pulling a George W Bush jr. by raping and pillaging before leaving office...'
Welcome to another lifetime tax on the poor and middle class. Mr. Campbell's fake referendum comes up a year from now and he says he will be bound by the outcome but won't put it in writing.
Now is the Time.
