It is also obvious, Campbell is working hand in hand with Harper. They have made sure, the BC people have no doubt, of their very close partnership. <br /><br />Ignatieff, also supports the HST. He first said no, and then did an about face, he now supports the HST. That makes him, a snake in the grass, and so is Harper.<br /><br />Right now, the future for Canada, and especially BC's future, looks very grim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-35667313198982327232010-08-26T17:26:06.581-07:002010-08-26T17:26:06.581-07:00Fighting against taxes is about the lowest form of...Fighting against taxes is about the lowest form of vote chasing that there is. It is easy to do of course much as Fight HST has proven but let’s see the likes of Delany put his name on yet another ballot for who knows what party and once again we will watch this frosted flake go down in flames.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-64974402483056718282010-08-25T11:01:12.128-07:002010-08-25T11:01:12.128-07:00I hope it is not BC First and its' backers man...I hope it is not BC First and its' backers many of whom were a part of the centre-right wars of the late 90's. I had to sit through many agonizing meetings involving some pretty far right nut bars (Enterprise League, Unity, Reform BC, BC First - not their first incarnation)<br />Not a comfortable position for a centre aligned, gay individual such as myself - did a lot of tongue biting especially with the likes of Kathleen Toth and Heather Stillwell at my table.<br />Thankfully that is ancient history in politics.<br /><br />StanStan Mortensennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-89648287780540726982010-08-25T09:04:16.840-07:002010-08-25T09:04:16.840-07:00It sure looks like a stage being set Stan.

Course, he has his right-hand man, Sal Vetro as the public face, just in case it doesn't work out (again, think BC Unity).

Olivia Chow, his wife, matches him and maybe exceeds him in her work for a better Canada. I am from Toronto and have seen their work first hand. It seems that we like to vote in psychopaths because during the election the manipulate and charm us. Next election think. Do you want a Jack Layton who will work for you or a Stephen Harper who is being manipulated by backroom interests?
