David Eby is a horrific individual who is running for the NDP in the same riding as BC Premier Christy Clark. He represents everything that is wrong with Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside. His views and, in fact, his raison d’être are synonymous with the destructive Occupy Movement. While voters in the upscale Point Grey riding have good reason to dislike Ms. Clark, if they elect Eby, they have clearly lost their minds.
He recently sat down for an interview with David Berner.
Horrific individual link goes to your photo site, and a great photo I might add.
I couldn’t make it theough the whole thing.
This point that the anti-pipeline people use bothers me. The scenario that a pipeline spill will jeopardize thousands and thousands of tourism jobs.
That is not true.It is an extreme emotional exaggeration. A pipeline spill will impact the immediate area. The Exxon Valdez crash did not shut down the tourism trade in Alaska. In fact an argument could be made that the coverage of the spill enhanced the tourism business by bringing attention to the wilderness areas.
Never mind. Scrolled down and found horrific individual story.
Christy Clark, the premier who got as far as high school.
The Conservatives are running Duane Nickull and he is better than Clark and Eby put together.
Honestly, you are starting to sound like a shill for the Liberals.
TJ, its a Hobson’s choice. I don’t think you can fairly accuse Robert shilling for the Libs.
You can accuse Alex Tsakumis of shilling for the NDP, as his raw hatred for the Libs and Clark, have blinded him to the evils the NDP is capable of, while he sits in his financial independence, earned from the capitalist system. Hypocrite!.
Dix has shown himself to be Dr NO, leading the party of NO, as in No to new industry, no to resource industry, no to the business sector, and no to jobs. But he’s going to throw more money at all his partisan supporters, welfarians and unions, with no plan to pay for it all. Every one of his promises, can be linked to the unions being enriched by more largess. More money for “post-secondary training”. Ah, yes, that means the post-sec profs get big raises, whether they earn it or not, while we train more arts and poli-sci grads, Beautiful.
And he says it with a smile on his face.
I still say, Xty should lose, even if Eby (as horrible as he is) wins his seat, so he sits in opposition, while the Libs pick an adult for new leader, and continue running the province.
One can dream……….
So TJ, you are suggesting that as the premier “got as far as high school” she should not be elected? Wow….if that is your basis for selecting a politician, I’d suggest you look around at the incredible successful people who only “got as far as high school”. I know lots of academics who can hardly tie their shoes.
Here’s Duane Nickull talking about one of his core beliefs. There’s more like this if you google his name. Carbon cultist. Stealth marxist candidate.
“So TJ, you are suggesting that as the premier “got as far as high school” she should not be elected?”
Yes. Any other questions?
RE: Duane Nickull video: April Fool’s Day post – note the posting date of Apr 1
I fully agree. For example, look no further than BC’s wealthiest man, Jim Pattison.
April fools or not, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck… Read what he has written.
So Christy Clark missed the maturing process people go through at university. Sorry, I mistook it for old fashioned stupidity.
“The Most Loathsome Candidate from Canada’s Most Inept Political Party”
When I saw your headline I thought this was going to be about Shiny pony and the liberals
I gave up after he said “sustainable” and “green” in the same sentence.
I wish I lived in BC so I could vote against him.
I guess I’m out of fashion – is slovenly in now? Looks like mommy didn’t scrub his face, or comb his hair, or trim it, and I suppose he will learn how to tie a Windsor someday?
Dave Eby has advocated for free prescription heroin for junkies (and everyone else) on Twitter, if you don’t believe me just ask him.
This is the BC NDP: taxpayers on the hook for free heroin for any junkie who wants it.
I hope the NDP wins. It couldn’t happen to a better cesspool of a province. It will serve as a decent cautionary tale to Canadians why not to vote for the NDP on a federal level. I just hope there are enough intelligent Canadians left who haven’t been indoctrinated by our leftist dip$hit infected education system.
A good point, Robert. The country is going left, and what we need is a far-left government in some place unimportant. The ROC has survived (indeed, hardly noticed) leftist governments in BC before, and will do so again. It will be good for us all to go through it again.
UBC is located on Point Grey, BTW, so it is easy to guess how that is going to go.
One problem that Vancouver faces is that the scum and dregs of Canadian humanity move west, for a climate which will allow them to survive out of doors. They start off in the East. Ottawa is not very hospitable. Usually the police put them on busses.Toronto is a catchment. The next step is a big one, to Winnipeg. After that it is easier. But one way or another most of them get there. There is a little park – it may have been cleaned out now – where the druggies go to sleep. Moans, cries, tears – it is an unbelievable sight (and sound).
BTW the druggies are mostly white, with a few Indians thrown in. The Asians are visibly unimpressed by it all. So much for the Great White Race! [sarc.]
Robert writes: ” While voters in the upscale Point Grey riding have good reason to dislike Ms. Clark, if they elect Eby, they have clearly lost their minds.”
It is voters in “upscale” ridings that give us some of our loopiest MPs.
” The country is going left, and what we need is a far-left government in some place unimportant. ”
Problem is John, you are not picking somewhere unimportant. When BC goes down a good part of the Canadian economy will as well. BC has 2 of the 5 main and most active ports on the West Coast of North America. Trade with Asia will make or break Canada over the next decade. It aint goina happen with BC in riot mode and that’s what the Left wants. The Unions are just “Useful Idiots” in the main scheme of things. Dix is another champagne socialist. His father was a businessman. Didn’t pass the business on to Adrian?? Sold it instead?
Clark attended Simon Fraser University, Edinburgh, and the Sorbonne. Did not get a degree but so what?
A university education often means a wealthy upbringing and Law School Graduates who never practice the trade arouses my suspicions.
Conservatives are going to be buried by the socialists unless we educate the younger generation. Political adds that do not educate are a missed opportunity. People need to be told where payday comes from not whose pony is shinier.
Christy Clark went to university — two or three of them in fact. She just never got any degrees, and she’s spent here entire adult life in politics — Liberal politics.
I know all about the NDP, and all about Adrian Dix. The coming NDP government is going to be one of the worst, if not the worst, ever elected in Canada. But I am not voting for the B.C. Liberals, because they are maybe one notch, if that, to the right of the NDP and they are CORRUPT. Their social policies are exactly the same as the NDP’s. The Canadian provincial political regime they resemble the most is the government of Dalton McGuinty. Carbon tax, all day kindergarten, HOV lanes, deficits and did I mention CORRUPTION?
So I’m voting for my local B.C. Conservative candidate. He’s not going to get elected, but the B.C. Liberals need to be flushed the same way the Mulroney Progressive Conservatives were.
At this point, it would probably be a very good idea for the Liberals and Conservatives to strike a deal, and call for strategic voting to prevent the NDP from winning. The reality is that the Conservatives can only win about a dozen ridings even if they get cross-over voters in a deal, but the Liberals could return to power. This deal should come with a written understanding on carbon tax reduction or elimination and a consensus on lower taxes and pro-business, small government etc.
The ridings to toss in the direction of the Cons would be the leader’s riding (Langley) and some Okanagan-Kootenay ridings. Otherwise I hope potential Cons voters will swallow their pride and vote Liberal, unless of course you want Professor Dix to retest Marxism one extra time (a lot of x’s there, as in WRONG AGAIN).
To quote Christy Clark, “and ya know what, that strategic voting thing just might work (bat eyelashes)” … you betcha, otherwise we’re going down the old Glen Clark road to nowhere.
Hey TJ,
“Christy Clark, the premier who got as far as high school.”
Credentialialism, with a healthy dose of elitism.
Leftist’s always place their trust in the packaging and appearance. Actual ability, experience and common sense is secondary.
Is the leadership North American’s have received lately from university educated/indoctrinated highly credentialed idiots your template for success?
It’s obvious it is, and I’m sure you’re ‘educated’ as well.
I gotta confess it’s tough to feel sorry for the people of Point Grey.
I would not want to be voting in this election. If my incumbent was a Liberal and had a good track record it would be a no-brainer. But if he were one of the f-ups that got them into the situation they are in, I would probably spoil my ballot. I cannot vote for anyone who tosses around words like sustainability, it’s a commie pinko word meaning do nothing or dismantle, usually tied to the word growth for distraction.
Exurban @ 3:16;
I totally agree. Conservatives cannot support the ‘anyone but them’ philosophy or we do end up with governments like the Liebels in BC and the PC’s in Alberta. I do not have a Conservative option in my riding so my choice is a spoiled ballot or a Green vote. The candidate is a moron but it does give them encouragement to continue their leftard vote splitting.
I live in Point Grey.
My next door neighbour has his Eby sign up.
The lady told me that she felt bad about me paying 100% for both sides of a new fence.
But demurred from offering even a token contribution. I didn’t ask.
I don’t like committees so was happy to just get the job done at my own expense.
Perfect, I thought.
Exurban:
I wasn’t going to bother.
But you’ve convinced me to go through with the pointless exercise.
You’re right about the stupidity of tactical voting.
That can be put in the too-clever-by-half file.
I’ll vote and vote conservative. Choose the least bad option.
Doowleb I am voting Conservative in this election, and very proud to do so. So I’m not a leftist.
This has nothing to do with “packaging and appearance”. Christy Clark does not have the aptitude to be a capable leader. She will be a disaster as premier, no better than Dix. This is obvious.
Sorry, but in the 21st century my expectation is that someone who claims they have the skills to run a province should have something on their resume that demonstrates at least some level of above-average aptitude. She has nothing.
Look up the Peter Principle and you will see Clark’s name next to it.
My vote will be for the BC Conservatives.
My eyes have been opened wide during the last five or so years.
Complacency doesn’t cut it.
“Perfect, I thought.”
LOL.
I have that mindset, too. Blockheads are hard to stomach.
Me No Dhimmi “The lady told me that she felt bad about me paying 100% for both sides of a new fence.”
What colours did you paint her side? Hint – use a long handled roller. Check the bylaws.
Scar, I cudda been clearer.
We paid for a new fence on both sides of our property.
Two high quality cedar fences for about $13,000.
On both the west side and the east side between us and the very affluent NDP neighbour.
This neighbour told me that she felt badly about me incurring the full cost of both fences but didn’t offer even a token contribution toward the east fence between our properties after her phony expression of concern.
I thought it was a perfect illustration of the insincerity of so many of these kind and caring NDP types.
