Hows the frack'n going anyways?
Same out come as usual, flammable water and trucking water to peoples homes?
Canada and US are 'friends and neighbours" we can put diplomacy aside for the benefit of the entire neighbourhood.
We've been trucking water out here for decades already thanks to nitrates and fecal coliforms.
HST Ballots going out in BC
B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon says he's confident a possible postal strike won't halt plans for a mail-in ballot on the HST.
Postal workers could be off the job as early as Wednesday.
Elections BC plans to send out the HST referendum ballots between June 13 and June 24.
It's up to the chief electoral officer to deal with the possible disruption in postal service, said Falcon.
"The public will get their vote," he said. "It's just a question of the chief electoral officer making sure he does that in a way that satisfies the Referendum Act and satisfies the potential unforeseen circumstances."
The B.C. government has already made one preemptive move in case of a strike — sending welfare cheques out a week early to avoid possible payment disruptions.
There's been no word from Elections BC on whether the referendum may have to be postponed. Results of the province wide vote on the future of the tax are not expected until August
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least the people of BC get a vote even if it is after the fact. I hope the people of BC decide to
scrap it so the Liberals will be shown up for trying to hide their massive deficit. The payout they
got from the Feds paid for half of their incompetence.

Yep.
John Baird is portrayed as a monster in the House, and Jack Layton wants a return to civility.....
Check it out! Especially the graphics.....see Mr. Layton and Mr. Baird compared on the negativity of their speeches.....
UPDATED: Question Period rife with rudeness, Layton most negative, new index finds | News | National Post
Of course, to be fair to Taliban Jack, the opposition's job is to be negative about gov't policies..............as he was, and will be.
And "positive" speaking in the House is of course more apt to be done by gov't members praising their own gov't......and "negative" speaking is not necessarily uncivil......
But interesting all the same.

Probably because it will destroy our economy. That was basically the intent. A massive redistribution of wealth to third world countries at our expense. Except for people that collect rich taxpayer funded pensions.
BC could be joining in on that bonanza as well if all the leftarded greenies of the world hadn't moved here. Now we can't even get a coal mine opened in an area that has a 150 year history of coal mining.
Yep.

I've got the solution. The problem is that all those MP's are too wound up and need to relax a bit... Maybe Jacko can organize a rub-'n-tug-friendship-weekend. I understand that he has preferred customer and can get volume discount rates.
