TIME for an ENEMA

It would seem that after Christy Clark promised a open and accountable government that she has opted to stick with the Gordon Campbell game plan of governing from dark secret rooms with unelected CEOs with vested interests, once again ensuring that all the opposition and most of the Liberal caucus and of course the public is excluded from the decision making process, the same chosen few power elites who hatched the BC Rail scam, HST, the bankrupting of BC Hydro, NERT, EPIC and all the other privatization at any cost we have witnessed over the last decade. 

Campbell broke many of his own laws such as running a deficit budget, not having a spring and fall session of the legislature racking up a record 253 days without our supposed democracy in session. 
So now Christy Clark is going to even outdo her mentor Gordon Campbell in the subjugation of BCs democratic system and it’s citizens, so much for open and accountable government.

Canada traditionally has a parliamentary democracy and one of the supposed safeguards of that system is a Lieutenant Governor, I sincerely believe it would be in this provinces best interests for you the Honourable Steven L. Point to use your powers as Lieutenant Governor of BC to dissolve this sham of a government and call an election as soon as possible. 
The reasons for this are many and all to obvious, we live in perilous times governments and countries rise and fall in less time than the next scheduled election in BC.
1 Christy Clark does not have a mandate to lead this government from the people of BC or it would seem from the members of the Liberal caucus.
2 Christy Clark and the Liberals do not have a mandate to complete Gordon Campbell's privatize at any cost agenda. 
3 Christy Clark and the Liberals definitely do not have a mandate to carry on a dictatorship in BC as they have for the last decade, no more of the peoples business conducted in secret with unelected individuals with vested interests, our democracy from here on has to be conducted in the legislature in the full light of day with all duly elected parties present, with all the questions, ideas, compromise, and finally consensus or what Clark apparently sees as sick but the rest of us recognize as democracy.

 It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

BC can not afford to function one more day without it’s traditional democratic system intact and the practice of ostracizing members of their caucus or the opposition has to stop, not only is this practice disrespectful and undemocratic but it totally disenfranchises all the people that particular MLA represents, It is clear you like to have nothing but yes men around you, but debate=friction is a crucial component of any democracy. 

The citizens of BC demand a proper election now and have a proper accounting to see how much trouble this province is really in without all the sleazy Enron style accounting practices they have been using to hide their mismanagement and incompetence.

We know Christy Clark does not like Victoria but until the capital is moved to Vancouver or Spuzzum that is where the government does it’s business and anyone unable to deal with that fact has no business running for provincial politics let alone Premier.

If the Lieutenant Governor can not do the job we all believe he has the power to do, then it is imperative that the people of BC find that fact out, we most desperately need an election and consequently a new effective government that works for the people of BC instead of the chosen few, and as importantly BC needs a workable recall system so that the voters of BC have a mechanism to make sure this travesty will never happen again.

Michael Sather

Michael Sather has more smarts and more university degrees and integrity than the whole Lieberal caucus put together, if we had a couple dozen more like Mr. Sather we would not be in half the mess this government has imposed on the people of BC, all the way from BC Rail to HST to BC Hydro and NERC, EPIC, etc. etc. and other secret sweetheart back-room deals we don’t even know about yet, never mind the multi-millions of tax dollars squandered on privatizing and trashing our public health care system or the so called failed NEW ERA, and all the other failed ideological disasters this gaggle of incompetents has spawned. 

Christy Clark maybe you could tell us just one issue Randy Hawes or Mark Dalton have been on the right side off or behind, my god the man found out about the HST 2 days before the voters of BC did and he was totally all right with that fact and has generally been nothing more than an empty suit polishing a chair with his mostly useless butt in Victoria for nothing more than a big wage and an even better golden parachute. 
Maple Ridge and the voters of BC need proper effective advocates not some pompous twit imposing his masters ultra right-wing agenda on his constituents. 
An MLAs job is to be the spokesperson or advocate for the people that elected him not just another mouthpiece for the head of the party. These two remind me of the show “Being There” where Chance the Gardener, a moron is given a position of power, neither of these people have been involved or informed about most of the legislation from HST to NERC or EPIC and are quite comfortable with the fact that they are nothing more than talking heads regurgitating the sacred words and polices of the dictator and when things go wrong coming out with comments such as “ Yes that was handled badly or It is just to political to talk about", on the other hand Mr. Sather also an MLA has literally been ostracized and been forced to do all his own research and dig and find out about all these secret sweetheart deals by his own means, Mr. Hawes and Dalton are in fact a personification of the failure of this whole government and all the problems it has produced. 

I think all the Lieberals should have to take a compulsory course in Democracy 101 to learn at least the basics of democracy such as running an election on a particular platform, or getting a mandate for projects you believe in, I don’t know about you but I don’t ever remember voting on privatizing BC Rail, HST, bankrupting BC Hydro, NERC, EPIC, and privatizing the liquor, as a matter of fact I wrote Christy Clark in April of 2011 about privatizing liquor and in Shirley Bonds answering letter there was absolutely no mention of privatizing Liquor, one of the days they might want to pay close attention in Democracy 101 would be when they learn about MANDATES and why you need people like Mr. Sather in a democracy that are not just YES men, but then again how can you run a good dictatorship when you have MLAs  actually doing their jobs. 

The people of BC deserve better and we should only be so lucky to have a government made up of people of Mr. Sathers intelligence, intellect, integrity and courage. 

Once again Mr. Hawes has it all ass backwards a vote for the Lieberals is a vote for Conservatives and more of the same.
