| Rick Peterson |
And not just joined - investment advisor and former Edmonton Journal editorial writer Peterson will be Deputy Chair of their Finance Committee.
Peterson was a BC Liberal candidate for nomination in the Vancouver-Fairview riding in 2008 - but lost the vote to Margaret MacDiarmid, who became the candidate and then MLA in the 2009 election.
And Peterson was a volunteer in Falcon's leadership efforts in 2011.
This news will hurt in BC Liberal-Land and is another sign of the imploding party.
The next question is whether Peterson will run in the 2013 provincial election - and where?

Let's hope he runs in Vancouver-Point Grey.
So tell us Bill.
Is a vote for the BC Tories a vote for the NDP?
Anon 5:27 p.m. - The question may also be - "Is a vote for the BC Liberals a vote for the NDP?" We shall see.
The BC Liberals have already lost the next election, and there is nothing they can do to change that harsh reality. Poor Christy Clark is the Kim Campbell of BC politics as she has inherited a lost cause. They will make lots of noise--spend lots of money in a fancy campaign, but it will not make any difference at this stage. The BC Conservatives are picking up some of the non-NDP pieces, but it is not all their way either. A fundamental re-alignment is happening, and it is questionable if the BC Liberals will survive as a Party.
"Kim Campbell"? Hell!
Christie Clark is the new Rita Johnston! Before the shut off the lights, they should give the keys back to Gord Wilson!
Just saw an article on a fellows blog who says Ms.Christy's brother is recruiting Liberal candidate.The blogger is Tsakumis
The 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking.
Perfect timing.
Can you imagine how much better BC would be today if Gordon Wilson were not politically assassinated by another crooked Campbell ???
"Can you imagine how much better BC would be today if Gordon Wilson were not politically assassinated by another crooked Campbell ???"
Yep there would be more of the Bedspring Symphony with Gordon and Judy, only with a little more sax
during the money scene.
Wilson couldn't even handle his much ballyhooed Democratic Alliance.
He also crossed the floor to the NDP on convience so any aspirations of him continuing on with any party is out.
The 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking.

Well not precisely. The sinking occured on April 14.
It's also the 40th anniversary of the first NDP goverment. After that one was elected BC plunged into a socialist dictatorship and runaway legislation.
It took a coalition to stop the mess and a long time to clean up.
The province learned a lesson and so did the NDP.
The game has just begun. There is still just over a year to the next election. The BC Lieberal(Cons) and the Stevie Cons are working on the next election. They're stacking the decks. The soap continues. We haven't seen anything yet. Stay tuned.
Peterson is a light weight
I prefer to think that Rick Peterson's move to the BC Conservative Party was a too clever attempt by BC Liberal Finance Minister Kevin Falcon to kick start v.2 of his BC Liberal leadership drive.
Naked BC bloodsport politics at its finest.
They're stacking the decks. The soap continues. We haven't seen anything yet. Stay tuned.
The NDP is already making their moves. They stabbed Carole James and there will be more.
Stay Tuned.

Old news.
How about that budget today?
Shameful indeed. Poor working stiffs, seniors, families.
And the HST issue continues to be ignored and too few people get a break. By some slight of hand, there was some good news a few days ago for people wanting to buy new homes, and today for seniors who need to upgrade for health and safety issues in renovations, but nothing for the rest of us. So the bulk of people who can't afford new homes and who want to do modest renovations will wait another year until the HST isgone. How is this supposed to kick-start the economy?

Ah, how I love living in B.C. The politics are better than anything on t.v. I am close to getting rid of the t.v because the political blogs are so much more entertaining & so much less expensive.
Now as to Rick Peterson jumping ship. The lieberals were never a homogenous group to begin with. Now that some have decided Chrustie & her lieberals are truly going way, they are looking to re establish themselves some where in the political sphere. People need to continue their careers.
Kevin isn't going to be jumping ship just yet. He doesn't want to loose that cabinet minister salary, along with the perks. He will wait until after the election and/or right before the election.
How about that budget today?
Shameful indeed. Poor working stiffs, seniors, families.
Yep shameful that many don't recognize a need for balancing the budget, and very shameful that there's always people out there that want goverment to give them everything.
So does this poster have an alterntive he can take to the NDP for if they become government?
If so, outline it here.
(What the NDP would do, not what the BC Liberals would do)
:Yep shameful that many don't recognize a need for balancing the budget, and very shameful that there's always people out there that want goverment to give them everything."
Guess that must include the Libturds!
(What the NDP would do, not what the BC Liberals would do)
and that is...
Let's list it here. Now:
The liberals are the government at this time, and they have failed miserably at governing for the people the last 11 years. They have pretty well sold off most of the assets that are owned by the people of this province, and continue to sell off our assets; they have signed contracts worth billions and won't report the costs of those contracts; they have given themselves pay raises in excess of 40%; they have paid exorbitant severance packages for a few years work; they have done away with thousands and thousands of family supporting jobs by shipping raw logs overshore for one; they have run up the provinces "debt" but have hidden it off the books. The damage they have done to this province will not get corrected in my lifetime, and probably not the grandkids lifetime.
imo, they are nothing but a bunch of corrupt, lying crooks. Disgusting bunch.
restore fair taxation starting with the banks that Gucci shoes Taylor sold out too.

Next step: Tell Dix this is what you want. Cryin' about it on a blog isn't going to help.
NDPers hate banks. Except of course VanCity (technically not a bank, but it does use the banking system).
put an end to the shady business dealings that have BC taxpayers paying ridiculous premiums to subsidize guaranteed profits for Campbell's BC Liberal cronies in the run of river scam.
"NDPers hate banks. Except of course VanCity (technically not a bank, but it does use the banking system)."
Not at all true. We just hate corruption.
On the other hand, I switched to Coast Capital. Dropped the Royal Bank like a hot potato. $48 less a year and no debit fees.
Not at all true. We just hate corruption.
and who is "we'? What would "we" do when the NDP starts its own brand of corruption? Let's begin that scenario whereby people who worked Adrian Dix's leadership end up with coveted posts.
"On the other hand, I switched to Coast Capital. Dropped the Royal Bank like a hot potato. $48 less a year and no debit fees."
Fees are one thing, but Coast Capital as good as they are, they are technically a bank. The difference is the communal share of institutional dividends and also reduced fees. They still use the banking system.

"Cryin' about it on a blog isn't going to help."

"Cryin' about it on a blog isn't going to help."
Two different concepts. One goes after the other, as in:
If you're not preparded to list workable solutions, then don't perpetually cry about what you hate on a blog. It's isn't going to help resolve the problem.
Either assistt with the problems by bringing out workable solutions
or perpetually cry about it.
If you perpetually cry and whine about what you hate , it's not going to be fixed by posting to a blog.
Coming up with workable solutions is much better than perpetually whining about BC or Canada being a dictatorship which is what alot of blog contributors do, and not much else beyond that.
Make yourself useful. Work out a solution and put it out there.

"and who is "we'?"
Taxpayers. Duh.
"and who is "we'?"
Taxpayers. Duh.
So 100% of the taxpayers out there agree with this blog and of those,
95% agree with the above statement
I doubt that.
Duhhhh.
Probably just 0.001% of taxpayers agree with this blog. Assuming that 100% of the taxpayers out there know that this blog exists.

As long as there is enough voters to kick out the criminal Liberals out on their backsides. You might be the lone supporter left.
"You might be the lone supporter left."
only between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and not during lunch...

and bring in the soon after they become goverment NDP criminals to their seats.
You might be the lone supporter left after three years.

Not bad but the above poster missed this part before spewing the post:
But one of the paper’s authors, Stéphane Côté, professor of organizational behaviour and psychology at the Rotman School, cautioned against making blanket assumptions about people based on class alone.
“We’re definitely not suggesting that any upper-class person … is going to be less ethical than every lower-class person. You need to be cautious in terms of applying these findings to predict the behaviour of a single individual,” he said."
no one is suggesting the BC Liberal PAB have any class whatsoever.
The BC Liberals are "Gordon - Campbell - World - Class". Classier than an empty convention centre and an overcompensating roof combined!
