Gordon Campbell's First Lie

Well, it was queer intuition based on a report. Early on in the Liberal term, I had heard the NDP had handed over a surplus in the provincial budget. I felt consternation and bewilderment as Campbell used the disastrous state of the provincial coffers to wage economic violence on those in the province who would not be able to generate a profit. Namely, the big business in the province and in other places wanted to "dispose" of those people deemed most costly to the province's finances! The Liberals looked to the most vulnerable because they did not possess the economic clout to hit back. The elderly and those with disabilities, as well as public service workers all were easy prey. Easier prey because of the great lie. The lie was BC's deficit and the necessity of cuts and the selling off of public utilities.

I will always remember the panic in the older womans voice. She had been walking around St.Paul's hospital during the demonstration. She said she had children at home who relied on her because of their disabilities. She knew she was losing her job because it had been privatised!

Then I remember "the suicides" reported. People on disability who had received the new application form after having been told they were under review! This was all based on the big liberal lie perpetuated by an eager fat head, wanting to be liked by the people who have wealth and standing in the province. He would show them he was one of theirs, the Point Grey man, the Shaughnessy and Kerrisdale socialite. Gordon Campbell the toast of the best part of town.

Now it is out! HE LIED MORE THAN ONCE. I guess all it took was for us to beleive the first one, so he could use fear to make us acquiese and compel others to be compicit in his plan to exploit the province for his politiacal partisan gain.
