Olympic priorities for all of our childrens educations

Please. Help me understand this.
I know that Gordon Campbell  recently announced in his Union of BC Municipalities speech that his government is spending our childrens future on todays bills, but humour me anyways.

How much will the HST really cost you? Figure it out for yourself with the HST Hit List

(* updated Wednesday Sept 23- new press release below this post)
Gordon Campbell says that the HST won’t cost British Columbians very much.
In fact,he says it will only cost the average British Columbian a couple of hundred dollars a month, but the benefits are far greater!
Finance Minister Colin Hansen’s claims are even better.
 When talking about [...]

Debate rages on over Enbridge ‘Northern Gateway’ Project and the Liberals plan to allow oil tankers along the B.C. coast

As I sat and watched the CBC documentary, ” Black Wave: The Legacy of the Exxon Valdez” , I couldn’t help but wonder how long it would be before a disaster like this hit our beautiful B.C. coastline. That is, if the Northern Gateway project goes ahead in northern B.C., resulting in oil-supertankers zig-zagging their [...]

RCMP announce preliminary probe into missing emails, same day as Times Colonist editorial declares:” The people who ordered the records destroyed have no place in government…”

Quote of the week, from the Times Colonist editorial of July 18th, 2009 (  thanks to Gazetteer for this heads up )
“ ….No one employed by the government could be unaware of the charges against Dave Basi, Bob Virk and Aneal Basi. It is beyond belief to think that any senior government employee would not know [...]

Things we can’t do during the Olympics.

“ For those interested, a reduction in services during this time will allow physicians, nurses [...]

70 things Gordon Campbell still hasn’t told the public about the sale of BC Rail. Or the rest of the government.

Think about [...]

The key to the BC Rail sale lies in Premier Gordon Campbells beginnings in real estate and land development.

One must never forget that  first and foremost, Gordon Campbell is a real estate man – his past and beginnings were as a developer, and at no time  when dealing with him and his administration should that be forgotten.
Not when it comes to forest land deals the province had been criticized for ( Weyerhaeuser /Brookfield [...]
