Gordo doesn't just have

Gordo doesn't just have never completed goals, he gets visions which last for a few days, and he is off in some other direction. will the people of BC actually catch on to his actions? Today it was, lay off park wardens, and this from a party that rambles on about environmental issues. The poachers will be voting Liberal as they shoot everything in sight.Don't wander into the back country parks folks, it could be dangerous

The only disorder Gordo has

The only disorder Gordo has is that he's a huckster,a flim-flam man, a con artist. He's all talk and gets all excited on what ever the subject is today but that's all acover cuz the man has a hidden agenda.

Big Deal

"B.C.'s economy actually shrank in 2008 -- for the first time since the recession of 1982. The province's gross domestic product dropped by 0.3 per cent"

Oh, what a tragedy. A third of one percent decline after 25 years of growth. I'm shuddering in panic!

Combine the growth in BC in '06 with the '07 decline and compare that with Ontario or Québec and it's just about the same.

So by equivalents Bill, if you made $100,000 in 2006 you only made $99,700 in 2007.

Yawn.

Realisticman's attitude mirrors that of his Liberals

It ain't about the GDP. People are losing their jobs left and right and the Liberals are minimizing the human impacts of it.

This is why the Liberals must be ousted.

PADD

Political Attention Deficit Disorder: Realistic man should realize it ain't the actual dollars on a salary that counts, it's about the billions that Campbell's manic actions, rhetoric and outright 'untruths' will cost us over the long term. Two examples? His ride on Al Gore's hypocritical bandwagon - we get carbon taxes and secretariats coming out of our ears long after PADD-man has lost interest. "Green" power? Well, just check out "Jobs Lifted Many out of Poverty not a myth" on this site to discover just a fraction of what that will cost us if this scammer gets re-elected. We should have some way of holding political candidates to their election promises. If someone persuaded a financial investor by saying, "We will not sell company assets" and then writes up a 999-year lease to put those assets out of the control of shareholders, that would be called a fraud worthy of a lawsuit. Why should it be any different for the BC Rail deal, whether or not the deal was tainted. Anyone up for a class-action?

con man

I agree with Van Isle. Unfortunately, the Black and Canwest press machines are too busy integrating themselves with the Liberals to actually inform us about what's actually happening. Thank goodness for the Tyee, but it's just not enough to counter the huge propaganda mill I'm seeing out there.

Me? I'm voting tactically to help get rid of this fraudster. Whoever is most likely to beat Campbell's puppet in my riding gets my vote. In a parliamentary democracy that is allowed to use party whips for EVERY vote, with a first-past-the-post electoral system, it's the ONLY way to make your vote count.

"About BCNU
MEMBER ADVANTAGES
Strong Contracts

BCNU members take home some of the strongest pay and benefits packages in health care in the country.

The latest Provincial Collective Agreement with the provincial government was the best contract signed by any of BC’s public sector unions. The new contract provides wage increases of 14.2 per cent over four years, 15 per cent compounded. It doubles night and weekend shift premiums and provides a new allowance for members who use their own vehicles delivering care in the community

The contract provides the best vacation entitlement for nurses in Canada.

Other contracts with independent employers provide solid wages, benefits and pensions and ensure employers treat members fairly in determining work assignments, promotions, and issues related to job performance.

BCNU members enjoy superior pay and benefits and greatly enhanced workplace rights compared to nurses in any non-union facilities. "

I take it you haven't heard the news this morning

The HEW workers who lost their jobs as a result of Bill 29 and later had that piece of fascist legislation declared illegal by the Supreme Court of Canada are now being dinged to repay UI benefits.

Have you no shame?

ADD control issues to that list

I think you're being unnecessarily hard on the rest of us who lead completely harmless, if scattered, existances with ADD.
Really, do you think his attention issues or his control issues do more damage to the province?

Hey, get real................

......... this study

http://tinyurl.com/da7hgs

is commissioned by companies who pay compensation to workers who are transfered to cities around the world and has very little to do about livability, etc.

By being transferred to Vancouver means little or no extra compensation as compared to other cities in the study.

Thanks for the comic relief

Now about those health care workers...what do suppose 'their' neighbourbood is like?

Not that you care a fig do you?

Your life and your prospects are likely just fine - otherwise you'd pull up stakes and move your little operation somewhere else...after all, it seems to me it has happened before.

Maybe we could discuss your posts - from not all that long ago - about what great operators a couple of airlines who specialize in the Asia trade were.

Was it Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific, yeh, I think it was.

"Canadian cities boast the highest quality of life in North America, with Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary all ranking higher than major U.S. cities, according to a global survey released Tuesday.

Vancouver has the best quality of living among North American cities and ranks fourth in the world as measured by Mercer's 2009 quality of living survey. "

I guess the socialist influence on politics here in the Great White North hasn't been so bad after all. Even in places like Vancouver which according to the Right was ruled by "barbarians" and the problems are still being fixed is in fact doing quite well thank you.

I wonder how Saskatoon ranked...
