The
letters “C”, “L”,”B”, and “C” used to stand for Community Living
British Columbia … now, more aptly; they should stand for Creating Lies, Bedlam, and Chaos.
Last
Fall, British Columbians were rightly outraged that Executives of Community
Living BC were receiving huge bonuses, while at the same time the agency was
cutting back on services. So what did
the Liberal government say they would do?

| BC Premier Christy Clark |
Christy
Clark said, and led us to believe, they had ordered an end to the bonuses. As we now all know, they waited for 6 or 7
months, and then rolled the ‘bonuses’ into the pay of these same CLBC
executives.
Was
that honest or truthful? Not according
to Jordan Bateman, of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation:
"Whether implicitly or between the lines, we were led to believe last fall that the bonus structure was gone. I think most taxpayers thought that meant that money was going to go back into front-line CLBC services where it belongs, and yet now we find out that really nothing's changed, just the way the executives get this money has been altered."

Still, Christy Clark insists that we have it all wrong … that we don’t
understand … and that the opposition coming from the BC Conservative Party, the
NDP, and the advocacy groups like Moms on the Move, have it all wrong ... and that some are deliberately
misrepresenting the facts.
Christy … there is only ONE group misleading the province … that is the
BC Liberal party.
DON’T tell us we don’t know the facts!
