Bill C-30 flies in stark contrast to Conservative legislation promoting greater freedoms
European Union and climate change are the great failed socialist experiments of the last 100 years
The B.C. Supreme Court slapped the wrists of the B.C. Liberals by ruling B.C.’s roadside convictions unconstitutional.
The B.C. Liberals climbed aboard the “low carbon” bandwagon, largely in an effort to claim the “green” high ground from the NDP
Proposed wind farm will be subsidized through higher utility rates
Occupy protesters want to dismantle the same system that gives them the right to exist
Now Christy Clark wants to create jobs. One wonders why the change of heart. After spending the first half year of her regime introducing a spate of NDP-inspired job-killing policies, now Clark believes she can somehow “create” jobs with a speech or two and a visit to the Far East.
Media types and drive-by politicians will be quick to suggest the recent referendum on the HST was an "exercise in democracy".
