Third World Mentality

Reading the letters to the editor reveals a much too common theme both Federally and Provincially, DFO shuns science, Fisheries minister ignores the advise of his head marine mammal scientist about Harp seals and sets the unsustainable catch at the request of industry lobbyists, instead of government scientists. 

Torys dismantling environmental protection,Federal government slashes by half funds for Environmental Assessment agency and all funding to the Canadian Environmental network, and now the final nail, the gutting of the Federal fisheries act and calling anyone that disagrees with these actions radicals and even terrorists.

The same reckless environmental mismanagement at best and criminal negligence at worse is seen with the polar bear which Canada recognizes as a “ species of special concern” and has protected status under U.S. Endangered Species Act., with a declining population of an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 and we Canadians are still allowing them to be hunted, or how about the grizzly that is regarded as a keystone indicator of ecosystem health, 73 percent of BC citizens want the hunt stopped, but once again vested interests, greed and stupidity are the rule of the day, the same can be said about Caribou which are also thanks to global warming, loss of habitat and trophy hunting in serious decline, a 57 percent decrease in population drop in the last decade and the hunters answer is “ it’s better that I shoot the animal than it dies of hunger” 

! wow !.

All these travesties come down to a government that has no problem with letting resource extractors, corporations, pipelines etc. monitor themselves, like that has ever worked or ever will work, 

money has no conscience, greed has no limits and stupidity is rampant. 

If Canada is to carry on for the sole benefit of these carpetbaggers and environmental terrorists, Canada will rapidly become exactly how it is being run, a ravaged third world country.

Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed. --Albert Einstein

PS Historically man has no problem with not only the unintended extermination of species but the conscious extermination of a species such as the slaughter of 60 million buffalo in 10 years for the sole purpose of exterminating the plains indians.           
The more things change the more they stay the same.


P.S. When the inevitable happens and that last polar bear is identified there will be hundreds if not thousands of pathetic souls willing to spend millions for the pleasure of killing that last polar bear.         
Do you have any doubt?

Lieberals financial Shell game

According to Christy Clark Quote “We will implement a seniors agenda that will improve support and services for the fastest growing part of our population” unquote. 
Once again watch out for that duplicitous  left hand in your pocket as Christy Clark claims she wants to help seniors. 
The truth is Christy Clark obviously doen’t want to help seniors, they are not her family, big business is. 

What a sham at the very same time the ConFiberals promise up to $1000 a year that will help seniors live independently longer, I get a bill in the mail that increases my MSP payments $1392.00 a year, this is in addition to the $ 4194.84 that I already pay for medical and dental coverage but doesn’t include all the deductibles I pay in spit of this coverage.

I have to wonder what is it about a fixed income or pension that these people do not understand.

Have no illusions, MSP is nothing more than another tax that only BC and Alberta pay, and it does not go to the medical system as one would expect but straight into the general revenue slush fund where it is used for the really important things such as $1.7 million for advertising against the teachers, $6 million to cover up the BC Rail corruption,  $ 5 Million to help defeat the anti-HST referendum, paying for all the legal judgements against the BC government (taxpayers of BC) for breaking all those legal contracts, just to mention a few. 

It’s pathetic these pirates always find enough money to give themselves fat raises but when it comes to the real workers of BC the cupboard is always bare.


P.S. MSP is the ultimate rich mans dream tax, a totally flat tax that you and I pay exactly the same for as a multibillionaire, but I get to wait 78 weeks and counting to get into the hospital for a hernia operation.

Pot calling the kettle black

I just saw the new BC Liberal attack ad NDP leader Adrian Dix, it called him reckless and risky, I quite honestly did not know whether to laugh or cry, these are the people that broke many laws in the privatization of health services in BC and threw caution to the wind about hospital cleaning for example, not like it hasn’t been tried with disastrous results in Europe decades before. Well we know what that reckless gamble cost in money and 84 patients lives and counting, never mind the the lawsuits and class actions that disaster has exposed the taxpayers of BC to. 

The privatization at any cost and union busting legacy of this government has cost BC hundreds of millions and it still is not over with the imminent sale of the BC Liquor distribution system for less money than it generates in one year not to mention the many more workers that will end up with minimum wage jobs as a result of this governments anti-union anti-living wage, anti-worker, anti-middle class agenda. 

I couldn’t believe the ad with the NDP broken piggy bank, this is a government that has raised the provincial debt in one decade from 33.8 billion when the NDP left power to 53.4 billion of direct provincial debt and another 80 billion in hidden and unfunded financial commitments, P3s etc., compounding this problem is the fact that that the Auditor General of BC Mr. Doyle has accused the BC Liberals of deceptive accounting practices, so I suppose we will have to get a new government to find out how much this government has really cost the people of BC. I find the BC liberal claim that taxes will go up with the NDP laughable, the present shell game that the BC Liberals think they are fooling us with is a joke, siphoning off multi-billions of dollars from ICBC, BC Hydro, MSP, HST, gas and the many other fees that we pay for everything from drivers licences to passports to electronic’s, batteries etc. etc. that have all been doubled or tripled by the BC LIberals, according to the BC liberals these are not taxes but something else. 
The kicker is they still can not balance the budget.

Not to forget some of the BC Liberals finer moments such as HST, BC Rail, cost overruns on convention centre, the fact that the taxpayers of BC will be paying for the 5th lane on the Port Mann bridge decades after it has been torn down.

Last but not least the pennies on the dollar give-away of all BCs valuable assets that successive governments and generations of taxpayers have accumulated over the years, this government reminds me of the family drunk squandering his inheritance by selling off all the family jewels in a drunken orgy,  playing the foolish big-shot by lavishing all his buddies with exorbitant gifts, ending up with nothing to show for it but a huge debt, bankruptcy and decades of hardship for the citizens of BC as they are forced to pay down this massive debt. 

Is this pitiable legacy something any rational person would be proud of?

Time to put an end to this obsenity

Re: Where is Tory disgust ? MR News March 1/2012


Cheryl for a small hard core of Conservative there is no line they will not cross, no deed to despicable to utilize, their total lack of morals and ethics and fair play say “ success is the sole earthy judge of right and wrong” in other words the end justifies the means, end of story. Democracy to them is just another buzz word they subvert to their own purposes. 


They truly believe that “ It is not truth that matters, but victory”, they are so obsessed that they believe they can do no wrong, “ Who says I am not under the special protection of god”, “I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the almighty creator”, Steven Harper is not the first politician to believe that fallacy. 


They live by the belief that an admission of wrongdoing is fatal or as another man put it “ As soon as by one’s own propaganda even a glimpse of right on the other side is admitted, the cause for doubting one’s own right is laid”,  “ Strength lies not in defence but in attack”.
“ By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise”, 
“how fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think”. 


As Mr Harper and others know, 
“If you make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”

If you recognized the above quotes it is because they all come from none other than Adolf Hitler who was also supposedly elected democratically and as many Canadian's have seen, closely parallel the beliefs of another would be dictator Steven Harper. 


Fortunately most Canadians do not share Steven Harpers dismal vision of Canada. 

Time for the Canadian public to show this tin pot dictator and this gaggle of doppelgangers the door, call an election now, while we can still recognize Canada.

Letter to Governor General

His Excellency the right Honorable David Johnston

Governor General of Canada

Rideau Hall

1 Sussex Drive

Ottawa Ontario  K1A 0A1

Monday, February 27, 2012

Dear Sir

Like you I was born in Canada and have lived 69 years in Canada. I implore you, no I demand that you dissolve parliament and call an election to rid Canadians of this illegitimate disaster of a government. In all my years I have never seen such blatant disrespect and outright distain for the laws and traditions of Canada by any government. 

You pledged to the Canadian people when you became Governor General that you would Quote 
“ be a stalwart defender of Canada’s heritage, institutions and people, I want to believe your sincerity in that pledge.  

The Canada I was so proud of is disappearing at an alarming rate. 

The canada I loved was a respected world peace keeping country not a pathetic doppelganger extension of American gunboat diplomacy, the Canada I loved was a world respected democracy not a country that has fraudulent corrupt American style elections, where the party’s and big money are allowed to slander, lie, cheat, buy their way into power, and get a majority government with the support of 16 percent of the population.  

We obviously need a new proportional voting system but as we can all see most people are so disgusted with the present system and the resulting government’s they produce people don’t even bother to vote any more. 

The Canada I loved had respect for citizens rights and freedoms they didn’t enter into agreements with paranoid bankrupt country’s and cultures like America that effectively strip and subvert all our Canadian guaranteed freedoms, with obscenities such as the Patriot act and the draconian American national defense authorization act. 

The canada I loved had respect for Canadians privacy and did not have the need for unrestrained spying on honest people’s privacy without proper warrants. 

The Canada I loved was respected around the world as progressive world leader in all areas even if we bit off a little more than we could chew at times at least we tried to move the world in the right direction and were loved and respected for that quality. Canadian’s were at the forefront on most issues all the way from  human rights, democracy, science and the environment, and the natural world, now it is all about pleasing big business period.

Canadians don’t even rate a seat on the UN Security council anymore and I can understand why, they don’t even want us at the table anymore.

The Canada I loved had more lofty goals than wanting to make the penal system Canada’s biggest growth industry to rival America as to the percentage of Canadians we put in jail, once again mimicking a tragically failed American doctrine, suppressing everything from science to the freedom of the Canadian people.  

This government in no way represents the vast majority of Canadian’s, in fact they do not even attempt to hide the fact that they are a pure and simple dictatorship only interested in forcing their Americanized right wing ideology on Canadians whether they like it or not. 

Canadians deserve better, but Canadian’s have been complacent as is their very nature somehow believing this could never happen to us, after all this is Canada but we have allowed our democratic system to deteriorate to the point that it is literally no longer a democracy and quite likely not even capable of producing a true democracy under the present system, Mr. Johnston you could be Canada’s only hope to survive as anything but a subjugated slave resource territory for America.

You might want to reread “The Devils Advocate by Taylor Caldwell” and just replace a leftwing dictatorship with a rightwing dictatorship, it rings uncannily familiar.

Sincerely Wayne Clark

PS to this day October 13 2013 I have never had a reply to this letter to the Governor General not a say nothing form letter or even a F--k you. Canadians have to get away from this Royal bullshit it is a relic of a bygone age it is redundant and useless as a check to excessive government power and illegal government actions and needs to be replaced with a proper and effective check to an out of control government.

NeoCon Agenda

It seems the Gordon Campbell agenda of privatizing all profits and socializing costs is not a thing of the past, it would seem privatize at any cost is still alive and well in BC.  The Clark government obviously hasn’t learned any lessons on how to properly govern a democratic province and are once again about to make major changes to BC without a proper mandate from the voters of BC.  The hundreds of millions of liquor board profits that usually go to social programs, etc. will instead go into the sweet smelling pockets of a chosen few fat cats. 
You might ask who is going to make up all that money when liquor profits are privatized ( any guesses ) let’s us not forget, private businesses pay minimal taxes in BC. 

The harsh reality is that yet more workers will lose half their income and drop unceremoniously out of the middle class and the taxes from their reduced incomes will drop drastically also. 

This money shall be made up one of three ways, first it will be taken from other cash cows such as ICBC or BC Hydro and guess who is going to pay more for these services as a result, don’t forget the Lieberals already siphoned off a billion dollars from ICBC last year to pay for their financial ineptitude, not counting all the extra taxes they got from the HST. 

The second way will be to simply raise your income taxes.

The third way these shortfalls will be dealt with is simply by cutting social or other programs these profits go to support, period.

If you think that liquor will be cheaper when it is privatized better think again, the fact is that private liquor stores already pay 16 percent less for their liquor than government liquor stores do and they pay their employes about one-half what government liquor store employees earn, that is why that tip jar is on the counter because like all minimum wage jobs you the customer are expected to supplement their income, and I have yet to see anything cheaper in a private liquor store.

This like the HST is definitely an election issue and if the government insists on doing it an election should be called to get a proper mandate from the people of BC.

Mystery of Main Steam Media

Re: This is huge news MR News Feb 17/2012

Cheryl your point is well taken, but I am sure the reason is no real mystery to you or anyone else. 
The mainstream media is the stepchild of the 1 percent and it is more a means of steering the debate than furnishing the unwashed masses with relevant information, for instance if you were to just read the mainstream media you would think the occupy movement is over and done even though none of the issues it was about have been addressed, in fact it has gotten decidedly worse on all fronts, with our very civil rights and personal freedoms now being assailed on every front. 

As you point out is it any wonder why the government now wants to control social media and the internet as well, they have seen the power of these communication tools unfold around the world over the last few years, china has already dealt with it and now it is our turn, big brother is here and we have seen his face, and all felt King Stevens oppressive hand every day of his rule, especially for the last few years since getting a majority.

Quote Steven Harper 
“ You won’t recognize Canada when I am through with it ”. 
Those dismal words are the only words that have ever come out of his mouth that I truly believe he meant, he is dismantling the Canada that we were all so proud of and the rest of the world not only respected but envied brick by brick.
