Welcome to Ruritania! Where is Peter Sellers when we need him? We now have a legislature pretending to act like big kids do, leaders acting as if they really are in charge, a government out of control, and an opposition dedicated more to supporting the government than to raising issues. Through the looking glass: Clark’s […]

The Christy Clark government’s back down on LNG, as evidenced by the throne speech, is an admission that Ms Clark and her colleagues misled the public in the 2013 election and is an unmitigated disgrace. As we all remember, Ms. Clark, found herself badly behind in that election. Something had to be done. She turned […]

I have some questions for Premier Clark. Premier, I’m a simple man who by nature asks simple questions. You and Alberta premier Redford have evidently agreed that there will be a pipeline from her province through ours to the sea and that BC will make some money out of this deal. Is this the end […]

Christy Clark has pulled off the sort of miracle the Boston Bruins managed when coming back from a 4-1 deficit to the Leafs recently. One would be ungracious not to extend congratulations. The story is more than a matter of manners, for the truth is that Adrian Dix blew the election – big time. I […]

They’ve proven to be no friends to BC’s finances, nature or the truth. The polls are “tightening”? Have we taken leave of our senses? Surely the people of B.C. can’t endure another four years of corruption and mismanagement! Here are my top five reasons why Christy Clark and her party must be refused a new […]
