I haven’t been able to watch or listen to Campbell on any TV or radio program for a long time. The man disgusts me, and I always change the channel. I also stopped watching BCTV news a long time ago. It is phoney and there is no depth or balance to any stories. After Campbell is voted out next spring, I am sure he will be known as the worst premier in BC history.

I think many people noticed the slag on the 90’s, Olivia. As well as his blatant interference in a private company. And David Hahn is on record saying that he knew nothing of the situation until 20 minutes after the “campaign speech”.

(Response: So much for the ferries operating independently! Funny how when there are troubles, talk to the ferries, but when there’s an election coming, the government finds it DOES have a role! ho )

I was watching CTV and they said that the gov’t said it was not going to be a partisan/political speech, but did anyone else notice the 2 digs about the bad old 90’s? ie: the bad NDP government, and he got to say it on live TV. How can anyone believe anything this government says? He is pure slime in my opinion.

Gordon Campbell T V

Who else spends any where near what gordoh spends on advertising!
When the gag law kicks in there will be only one advertiser(under the guise of goverment imformation)

Interesting that on tuesday global newcast that Keith Baldrey stated that “Global news was not going to let Gordon Campbell hijack the news hour”

Looks like Baldrey got over-ruled.

I agrree Harv with your premise.

I also believe that it will backfire on Campbell,the more he shows his face the more people`s hair stands up on the back of their necks.
The 12 minute advertising slot will and did fail!

What was the bribe?
#1 return ferry service that was cut 2 weeks ago

#2 lower ferry fares temporarily to what they were last year.

#3 People`s deposit in BCs credit union were never ever at risk.

#4 A private pension fund(volentary) –not exactly a quick fix–try 20 years from now.

#5 I heard nothing about fast tracking P3s –They can`t get funding / IE port mann/ putella bridge

#6 5% tax cut—That tax cut is carbon tax collected/thus it is a saw off at best.

#7 Expect more cuts to education/ to equal the school tax that got removed /20 million a year

#8 The reduction of small business tax and raising of the fees to collect the PST is good

Finally—The advertisement/speech —Did nothing for seniors, students,forestry,minimum wage earners/the unemployed/ forestry towns/crashing housing market

And it proved that Campbell is a bald faced fibster–He has interfered with BC ferries/ which he claimed was a private corporation free from political interference–The same thing when they interfered with Translink.

P.S. — BC Hydro went up 15% in april—A 2 teir premium rate hydro went into effect october 1st —BC Hydro`s bas rate is going up 13% more at the end of the month–Year over year BC Hydro increase is over 30% –That cost home owners over 500.00 a year, even apartment dwellers its over 150.00 a year increase.
It blows away ANY TAX CUT !!!

By the way BC Hydro made 400 million last year—That number will rise to about 600 million year over year—And don`t even get me started on ICBC

Thank you, Harvey. Thank you. Thank you. Exactly what I was thinking as I saw it go down. But why are you the only one saying anything? Where is the NDP on this? You would think they would be concerned?
