Commentary

Commentary-The ridings in this survey are considered either ‘very winnable’ or ‘must win’ by the BC Liberals. The results show that effective ‘smartbomb’ polling by ROBBINS, specifically targeted to divide the weakened (dead) head of the party, Premier Gordon Campbell (economic-political), and the tail of the party AG Geoff Plant (legal- political), can be easily implemented. Three of the twelve ridings involved in this survey are in Vancouver City. The remainder are in the Fraser Valley (BC Bible belt), and the Okanagan. Those respondents in Vancouver support the ‘Charter’ and the rights of minorities. In ridings in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan there is not a similar respect for this document.

Currently, ROBBINS estimates that the BC Liberals have 26 winnable seats in the entire province. It is crystal clear that in BC Liberal strongholds in Langley, the Fraser Valley, and the Okanagan direct democracy issues likely have significant primacy over the Rule of Law. In question #5 ROBBINS asks the question about same-sex marriage in the context of divorce considerations, an area that same-sex proponents have not wanted to go near, particularly when studies show a historic pattern of promiscuity (PP) amongst homosexual males. Notwithstanding the higher degree of pro traditional marriage respondents in calling areas outside the city of Vancouver in this survey, ROBBINS has revealed in other surveys, that if a rationale can be provided in survey questions for respondents to avoid supporting same-sex marriages, they will take it. There is no rationale that can be similarly applied to proponents of traditional marriage.

Insight-Same-sex marriage is a Charter construct for political liberals. It is a flimsy construct and liberals all across Canada must be preying that no-one calls their bluff and utilizes it as a successful ‘wedge’ issue, or no western provincial government implements notwithstanding opportunities within the Charter. The argument for equal rights and same sex marriage does not have the intellectual weight that the argument that same sex marriage is a liberal political construct does. In BC, I would use this as an election issue if I were leading a provincial Conservative Party. If one is able one should always counter an average emotional/ideological political construct with a superior pragmatic political construct. At the end of the day, the liberals will light their hair on fire, others will scream and shout, but the vast majority of the public will support the latter construct.

Conservatives should not always underscore the traditional marriage argument, with family values. They are provoking too many voters who would otherwise support them (often silently) with this somewhat pious position. The liberals prey on this, and spin it as church vs. equality. The core of the issue is really the tyranny of the weak over the silent majority advanced by liberals through the courts and the media.

The language question comes up as this relates to the Serb-Croatian employees at UBC who filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal. The Human Rights Tribunal gets its power generally from the Constitution and considerations there under relating to Administrative law. The statute for authority comes from the province. If this complaint is successful, it would provide conservative advocates with the opportunity to lobby for a third language under the Charter, that of ‘pig-Latin’. At the moment only English and French are officially recognized languages under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Provincial jurisdictions are recognized under the Constitution and the Charter. UBC is a provincial jurisdiction. This is a no-brainer, watch the HRT do what it is mandated to do, that is circumventing the Charter whenever it sees fit, and invoking the systematic process of passive aggressive politics and smearing (PAP-SMR).

Lastly, I have some more unfortunate news for liberals. Women are really violent too. For decades they have hidden their violence behind close doors. With teenage aggression and violence on the rampage, female violence is not a secret anymore. We should stop spending tens of millions on the lie, and deal with violence as violence, no matter the source.
