Epic Fail.<br /><br />You tried they hysteria smear on bodybags and H1N1 and failed again.<br /><br />You resorted to calling our sons and daughters in the military war criminals and have tried to discredit three retired generals and an ambassador who won't cooperate. <br /><br />It would be shameful but as Bob Rae pointed out you guys are shameless.CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-37161284652458120902009-11-27T16:34:27.669-05:002009-11-27T16:34:27.669-05:00I don't know too much about BC, but here in ee...I don't know too much about BC, but here in eevil Ontario the HST issue in not really much of an issue at this point. That might change between now and July, but for now most people seem to realize it's a Dalton+Harper thing and that threatening to vote Lib federally or PC provincially won't change anything. They know the opposition in both cases is complicit. And for all the howling Hudak is doing, CITY-TV cornered him the other day and asked him point blank will he reverse the HST if elected. He dodged the issue of course.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-89561971916840318982009-11-27T16:02:22.933-05:002009-11-27T16:02:22.933-05:00Groan.....this whole Wheat board thing.

HST wasn't even mentioned specifically during the election but he did say there would be no major tax increases or changes. He also said no deficits during the recession which now keep growing and growing. It was amazing and frustrating how it all unraveled over the weeks following the elections. <br /><br />Im fully expecting that every minor mayor in BC will lose their titles in the next elections, they did that the last time Campbell made them angry. <br /><br />The polls keep opening up a bigger and bigger gap though the BCNDP is its own set of troubles. The problem is when people expect British Columbians to show up to a rally. Unless there's marijuana there you wont get a lot of people at your rally. Plus I think a lot of people out here are as creeped out about supporting a Vanderzalm movement as I was. Taxes arent a good reason for me to get behind a socially conservative ex Premier who used government finances to sell his theme park.Gene Rayburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12438068218145410142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-31790786285763939422009-11-27T10:20:27.612-05:002009-11-27T10:20:27.612-05:00Gene,
