Right wingers in British Columbia are squirming, so nice to see
They lied, got caught and now the people have started a recall campaign targetting vulnerable ridings. One desperate MLA is Ida Chong, look at her here pouting and squirming. It's so amusing to see this one know her time is up cause she fucked up and now she KNOWS her shit won't be tolerated.

As if we care who is behind the recall, it doesn't change what she did.

3. Just for my edification
Edited on Sat Dec-11-10 10:57 AM by Zanzobar
Can you expand on a few things?

What's the problem with Ida Chong?

And...

"Kevin Falcon, credits inspiration from the neoliberal Olympians Thatcher and Reagan."

I'm sooooo confused. Maybe we need a conversion table of Canadian political terms.

And...

It looks like the HST is more progressive. What's the objection?

5. Yo!
Okay, been drinking, but will try. First off, think Parliamentary system.

So, the BC liberals are not liberals at all. Right wingers who hijacked a name to get control. Chong is one of their typical robot "privatize and give it to my rich friends types" Best thing to know about BC politics is that the liberals are conservatives


HST? Hst is basically taking the Goods and services tax (a federal tax) and combining it with the provincial sales tax (speaks for itself, right?) However, this basically puts a flat out tax on EVERYTHING, even your rent. Typical tax and spend conservatives.

So, Chong is pretty well one of them pricks.
