The gold plated pensions. Hahn's million per year, with BC Ferries. The totally absurd bonuses paid, while the disabled are booted out of their homes. Then we had Campbell and Harper forcing the HST on us, while BC people were in a deep recession, and still are.<br /><br />People do care about 131,000 BC children living in poverty. It is the Campbell/Clark BC Liberals who don't give a damn. Nor did Campbell give a s**t about the minimum fantastic wage, of $8.00 per hour. Campbell's misbegotten Ministers sat there with their fingers up their noses. They didn't to one damned thing, for the unfortunate. Meanwhile, they were watching Campbell stuffing his wallet, to overflowing.<br /><br />Everything that didn't stuff Campbell's wallet was disposable. Single mothers and their children. The disabled. Public school children so hungry, they couldn't do their lessons. Clean hospitals, didn't stuff his wallet. Schools in general, didn't fill his pockets. The women that went missing...were the last thing the Campbell/Clark BC Liberals cared about.<br /><br />However, Campbell's theft and corrupt sale of the BCR, did stuff his pockets. So did the valuable real estate that went with the BCR. Also Campbell's theft and sale of our rivers, made him a pretty penny. Rumor has it, there was a kickback for the stupid smart meters.<br /><br />Campbell/Clark BC Liberals, have totally fouled and dirtied BC, with a lot of help from Harper. Campbell betrayed his own peoples well being. He went to work for the other snake in the grass, Harper. The two of them should be tried for High Treason, and imprisoned. A pair of fascist dictators, is what they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-14652359092524712272011-10-27T06:37:16.054-07:002011-10-27T06:37:16.054-07:00I must have lived a sheltered life, because I firs...I must have lived a sheltered life, because I first became aware of people sleeping on heat vents while flying back and forth to Europe and especially London, during the late 60's early 70's. Maybe like so many others I wasn't looking. These last few years the poor have certainly become more noticeable. During the time of the NDP Government under Clark, I complained to a NDP MLA why we seemed to be growing more food banks. She told me I was living in an imperfect world. It sure hasn't gotten any better under the present bunch in power.Children in poverty are a great concern. The food banks are running broke, we build new stadium roofs. We lived for a few years right in the middle of the DTES, saw the lack of concern by many of those, shooting up in the alleys , getting beat up for their few dollars or their shoes. Yes this is an imperfect world and yes, most of us do turn a blind eye to others less fortunate than ourselves. I do read the articles of the reality from some columnists, you and Jody for starters.DPLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-40504765144970146302011-10-26T23:21:29.452-07:002011-10-26T23:21:29.452-07:00Speaking of everyone ignoring cries for help, chec...Speaking of everyone ignoring cries for help, check out the Victoria story linked to in the following article: <br /><br />http://thebernermonologues.blogspot.com/2011/10/important-piece-of-jourrnalism-found.html<br /><br />Seems that both the government and the BC news media have been MIA on this horror story.<br /><br />BC Kettle calling the China pot black?Blusternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-5061506711114338652011-10-26T18:12:22.781-07:002011-10-26T18:12:22.781-07:00You are right Paul,

Considering the relative prosperity we enjoy compared to those who we've been disparaging in China, what right have we to be smug and patronizing.<br /><br />Raymond GrahamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
