I’m trying to figure out if I was surprised to hear of Carole James resignation or not. Certainly I was sorry for Carole whom I believe is a fine person who probably, as I said long ago, is not of the right temperament for politics, BC style. She’s a conciliator not a fighter but ironically […]

What a glorious opportunity for a 3rd Party claiming the centre of the political spectrum! I was surprised at the action taken by Jenny Kwan asking for a leadership convention.

First, let’s talk about what this means for the NDP. As Carole James looks at the numbers she will note that while the Liberals […]

The polls have Gordon Campbell’s Liberals a massive 23 points behind the NDP. Though this is three years away from the next election one has to conclude that Gordon (Pinocchio) Campbell is electoral toast. It is he who has micromanaged his government from the start and thus it is he who is so unpopular. While […]

Carole James is no autocrat — and her party, for better or worse, lacks discipline. Much note has been taken in the press of the conflicting speeches of Jim Sinclair and Carole James at the recent NDP conference, with Sinclair representing the BC Federation of Labour and James speaking for herself and those who support […]
