Liberal "Reality Show"

Today the anti HST forces in BC anounced the 18 MLA's who they will be targeting for recall. They are going to let the ridings that sign the most canvassers go first and have dubbed it the "Recall Survivor" game.

Premier Gordon Campbell has suggested the leaders of the recall initiative are making light of a serious situation comparing it to a reality show while his Liberal party takes it seriously.

If there is a reality show here, it should be the Mole where an individual lies, cheats and acts only in the interest of himself and his friends. With Campbell's claims of not thinking of the tax until after the election and his assertions that only he and his large business friends know what is good for us while we are too stupid to get it, I wonder who the Mole in this show is.

Don McRae, one of the MLA's on the list says people are trying to refight the last election.

In the last election, a majority of the people in McRae's riding voted for him to represent him. He is so arrogant he doesn't even consider the possibility that now the majority of voters feel lied to , betrayed and cheated. They want him gone because he is not representing their wishes and priorities and the last election has nothing to do with it (except that many believe his party lied by omission about the HST).

Terry Lake, another MLA who is targeted is quoted as say that the leaders of the recall are "two spoiled children who are going to jump up and down until they get their own way."

A spoiled child who is caught eating cookies before dinner will lie and say he didn't even with cookie crumbs all over him. The Liberals say they weren't considering the HST even though there is documentation that makes that as likely as pigs getting elected (although that might be preferrable to people who don't represnt us). Between people who are asking the elected government to represent the electorate and someone who I don't believe, I find the person of questionable honesty the most childish.

To the Liberal party, stop playing games. Listen to the people you work for. Represent our collective wisdom. Repeal the HST transfer of $2 billion a year from business to people. It isn't about you, it is about us.
