It’s sick. It’s a sick culture ... it’s really unhealthy. I was talking about the legislature

This is one of those blog posts where I will let the words of others do the talking ... including Christy Clark.  She, and others, have already said it so well. 

 

 

CBC (June 5th / 2013):
"We say names like WAC Bennett and Bill Bennett and we think of leadership — two great leaders who shaped our province," said Clark. 

 

National Post (Apr 13 / 2013):
It’s no secret that Christy Clark’s government has a credibility problem ... Ms. Clark continues to misinform, mislead and just make up stuff. 

 

Doug Morrison of Garibaldi Highlands (Vancouver Sun June 11 / 2013):
Today’s government policies on private power are in the process of bankrupting W.A.C. Bennett’s greatest contribution to the growth of the B.C. economy, BC Hydro, the “powerhouse of British Columbia.”.  Christy Clark has no right at all to be channeling the spirit of the great W.A.C. Bennett. 

 

 

Chilliwack Progress (Apr 22 / 13):
Clark said on Thursday that Strahl is an example of a retired federal politician who is "very actively helping us on this campaign and I'm really proud of the contribution (he's) making." 

 

Strahl confirmed that he has "no involvement" in Clark's or anyone else's campaign 

 

Vancouver Sun (June 11th)

...  Christy Clark’s BC Liberal government has significantly increased the maximum salaries it can pay to its top political staff ... boosts the maximum salary that can be handed to Clark’s Chief of Staff ... can now also make up to $230,000, representing a boost of almost 60 per cent from the position’s previous cap of $144,000. 

 

CKNW 980 on the Bill Good Show with Mike Smyth June 12th):
Finance Minister Mike de Jong is defending surprise Liberal pay increases for political staff, even as his government preaches austerity.  

 

CBC News (June 7th / 2013):
Delta South Independent MLA Vicki Huntington says she is dismayed over the $25 monthly fee charged for wheelchairs or wheelchair cushions. 

TIMES COLONIST: MLA nearly ejected over heckling

Kamloops South Thompson Liberal
MLA Kevin Krueger

My MLA for Kamloops South Thompson riding, Kevin Krueger, is well known for his outbursts in the BC Legislative Assembly. 

Last, week, as outlined in the following story from the Victoria Times Colonist, he continued that tradition.  The story described him, politely, as being 'boisterous' ... 'interjecting' ... 'heckling' ... and 'rude'.

NDP MLA also said that Krueger's comments were, "... loud, vindictive, boorish and irrelevant to the budget debate."

Here is the story in full:

THE HECKLER - The boisterous member for Kamloops-South Thompson, Kevin Krueger, was almost booted from the chamber this past week for not being able to keep his mouth shut.

Krueger, whose booming voice is often heard interjecting into other MLA speeches, cut into independent Vicki Huntington's response to the budget Thursday.

"Do you represent anything?" he shouted.

"I represent the people, Member," she replied.

Huntington had to sit down twice to wait for silence, but Krueger kept on going.

Conspiracies abound ... I think not :)

It is unfortunate and regrettable that some people have to see conspiracies and plots every where.  Such is the case this weekend at BC Blue, a blog by former member of the BC Conservative Party,  Dean Skoreyko.  This blog is much like another one written by someone that appears to stay in the dark and be unnamed in their blog at http://www.bcconservatives.ca/.
