Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

A little while back there, I was talking about which Liberal MLAs we could recall beginning on the 15th of November. I was looking forward to the possibility of people like Ida Chong or Gordon Campbell being removed from the Legislature. Since then though, Colin Hansen has proven that it's capable for this government to break another one of its own laws.

Recently, he has announced that he will be sending information to every household in the province informing them about the budget. He then went on to say that he would also attempt to stop the apparent misinformation about the HST that is being spread by the NDP, the FightHST campaign, and Bill Vander Zalm himself.

If I remember correctly, and as my MLA clearly stated in the Legislature on Thursday, there is no opponent group for the Initiative to end the harmonized sales tax. Yet Mr. Hansen is using public tax dollars to get the public on his side that his new tax won't cost them more even though about 82% of British Columbians know it is not going to be revenue neutral. Another Liberal MLA is breaking the law.

I was stopped by the Recall and Initiative Act, so shouldn't he be too? Mr. Hansen, like everyone else in this province is not above the law. He must apply as the sole opponent to the Initiative, or else that is another law he is breaking. I could write a novel listing all of the acts these damn Liberals have broken in the past 11 months.

It has become increasingly apparent that the Liberals don't like democracy. First, they broke the mandate that they were elected on only three days after the polls closed. Then, they attempted to push the bill through even earlier then they announced to suck more dollars out of our wallets. Now, after all of this, they are attempting to defeat a citizen's initiative. You can't make this stuff up.

These are the final days of the Campbell ministry; it is only a matter of time until Gordon cracks under the pressure...
