I have two words for Gordon Campbell and Colin Hansen: Be afraid.
That’s right. You read that right.
Be very afraid men, because in my opinion, the prospect of the HST is the proverbial straw that broke the camels back, and as everyone knows… camels have loooong memories – as do the people of British Columbia.You have both earned the [...]

Generally, I’m more inclined to use the power of my words to protest and fight the many injustices forced upon us by the current out of control Liberal government, rather than run around carrying signs and protesting.
The prospect of the HST , however, has spurred me to greater action.
That’s why I’ll be heading down to [...]

It’s official.
Having signed off on the rest of our lives at the lawyers, we are now the proud owners of a new home. Possession and move will take place this weekend, so of course, I’ve been packing and cleaning like mad over the last couple of weeks, and now that we are in the home [...]

Time for a blast from the past.
I originally wrote and posted this piece over a year ago- July 24th, 2008. Reading it tonight, I found myself shaking my head and laughing. A year later, not a lot has changed in the economic situation for thousands of British Columbians, except that the rich are getting richer [...]

RossK, author of the The Pacific Gazette, has something to say about blog coverage versus media coverage of Monday’s Basi-Virk pre-trial hearings, that resulted in some pretty nasty comments directed at myself here in the comments section under that days report.
