"Exploiting an independent office in such a premeditated and consciously partisan manner is simply unacceptable."

And it's the way both Campbell and Clark do business. I'm happy to see your link to AGT's blog. Alex has done a great job of exposing the morality,or more correctly,lack of it, in the current Liberal regime.

For the first time since Dave Barret, I will probably vote NDP, just as the (hopefully) lesser of two evils.

I used to say,as a joke,that we need a revolution instead of an election.

It's getting to the point where that's no longer a joke,as political elites from all Parties stack the deck for their tiny group of friends and force the rest of us to pay for it.

We have 85 hogs at the Provincial trough in a Province with a population of 4 million. One would think there'd be a statesman somewhere in a group that large, but no such luck.

I'm a fan of both our independent MLAs - Bob Simpson and Vicki Huntington - actually. I don't agree with them both on everything, but I like the way they conduct their business and represent their constituents.

I agree, though: whether it's the NDP or the Liberals, both of our main provincial parties seem to represent their own select group of special interests. It gets tiring sometimes...

Voting for the NDP is a horrible evil thing to do. Dix is crazy. There are much better 3rd parties to vote for. Support the HST!

That's true. I wonder if the Sex Party is still up and running :)

Voting for Christy Clark is also a "horrible,evil" thing to do,and the Conservatives have yet to announce a candidate here yet.


I've never missed an election, and will vote for sure, but there isn't a hell of a lot of choice at present.

Old joke: we need a revolution.............

There's always spoiling your ballot, or handing it in blank, I guess. I feel where you're coming from, though - we're not exactly spoiled for choice here.
