If you're attempting to suggest that few people in Vancouver own a car, you must be joking. They may very well be more inclined to use transit for their daily trip to work, but for social and recreational trips in the evening and on weekends they are just as reliant on the auto as people in the suburbs or the Interior.Budd Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194826986794514558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-6912847188694272302008-07-28T10:58:00.000-07:002008-07-28T10:58:00.000-07:00Oops Robertson...

Or have I miunderstood things? Is someone suggesting that business activist Susan Heyes could be the nominee? <BR/><BR/>If Heyes were to win the nomination many of the "radical" elements in the NDP, who were already upset by Robertson's win last time, would go through a whole new series of machinations designed to denounce what their hero <B>Svend Robinson</B> once angrily called "the mushy middle" at a federal NDP convention.Budd Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194826986794514558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-15757902526328914402008-07-25T14:59:00.000-07:002008-07-25T14:59:00.000-07:00I heard the Liberals will sent in a Lady for the r...I heard the Liberals will sent in a Lady for the riding of Fairview.小良https://www.blogger.com/profile/07504064090212169055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-73119109355378144592008-07-24T20:11:00.000-07:002008-07-24T20:11:00.000-07:00The Liberals don't have to poll to see what people...The Liberals don't have to poll to see what people think of the carbon Tax. Most folks have spoken loudly about it and they arn't happy. Gordo , when the cost of fuel was going up almost every day would have looked sensible had he did as WAC used to do. Take a sober second thought. Hold off on the tax until the prices settled back, But not into sober thoughts, the arrogant twit did nothing except spend a ton of money telling us just how great it is. The sale of SUV's should rise by the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
