Pretty much. The only difference is that Falcon was in opposition and the election was his to lose. Which he did. In Spades. I didn't much like him 25 years ago when I was involved with the party, and still don't. I was a riding association president at the time, so I had some dealings with him...

When the carbon scam tax was imposed in BC, the intent was to buy green votes, to keep them from voting NDP. And it worked for a couple of election cycles. The main difference was that the BC carbon scam tax was offset by reductions in other taxes, making it revenue neutral. There was no gifting...

It can only be racist if you mean it to harm someone. The same word means entirely different things in different industries. I don't know why, and could never see any connection to race or skin colour.

Nobody gives a flying fuck what you believe. I told you how it was where I grew up.

And his punishment was?? Oh Right, zip, zero, nada. I wonder how many of those fine upstanding New York Democrats find themselves on the wrong side of the courtroom over the next 4 years?

I wouldn't mind Christy Clark as leader. She did OK in BC despite being stabbed in the back by a few sore losers. Including Falcon, who managed to single Handedly destroy the BC Liberal party during an election.

The entrance fee to get trashed in the election is kinda steep. Will the CBC pay for their preferred candidate's entrance? How about China? WWF?

Common sense does.

Once the Russian people divest themselves of the thugocracy, which will happen some time, the political and military advantage is largely irrelevant. Also the people with the money tend to think in terms of quarterly profits, not long term political strategy. The whole trade route thing depends...

Must be. Back before computers and google, we had to rely on the Anarchists Cookbook, and some geeks at school.

All because of the way we have been treated.

The part where a recount might cost him seats. Recounts are always chancy. Especially if it is done properly.

That is what the marriage was all about. To make the west think someone from the other side of the Rockys gave a shit about them.

I'm not sure. Petros would probably have a better idea than me. St. Mary's river valley is a 20 mile long iron ore deposit. Then there are all the other minerals buried in that area. As well as potential oil and gas deposits. That alone is probably worth more than 1 trillion. Then there is the...

And what if that gave him an even better majority?

SOmewhere in my reading, it said that the Liberal party rules state it must take 4 months to elect a new leader. Not if that is correct, but that will make the selection after an election must be held, assuming Parliament goes back in late March for a non confidence vote. And that is again...

Is he talking about Okanagan? It is semi desert.

That idiot is too stupid to watch to the end.

Cut back on the carbon scam tax a bit.

I'm guessing you have zero clue about the value of Greenland and Baffin Island? There was a letter about this in the Times Colonist today about this. Buddy thought we should sell Baffin Island to the US for a trillion $$$. Pay off our national debt. Personally, I think the idea is sound, but...
