| Commentary: |
| (36.4%) of the respondents in this ROBBINs poll indicated that "they either did not regularly vote and/or did not vote in the last general provincial election--in 2005, but 'believe' they are eligible to vote or could become eligible. |
| (62%) either voted in the last general election in BC or vote fairly regularly. |
| The past has caught up to the establishment and now but four months to go before the next SominexFest---the provinces two parties—Chocolate and Vanilla are set to contest for the next four years—“Oh yea oh----mirage—that’s all you are to me” (Tommy James and Shondells). |
| So what? Has Gordon Campbell earned a third term? If the answer is “Yes” than Carole James should hang her head. |
| Before the recent Campbell plug-plus---god was that shameful---I said to Van Rassel “Jim, ya know I think Campbell could get crushed!” |
| “I think you’re right” said Van Rassel---then ka-boom Campbell’s numbers skyrocket almost without reason---I’ve never seen anything like it. Jim and I laughed our heads off—it was truly good comedy of bad politics----Platox-crement—I call it. |
| Citizen// politics—I’ll tell you----it isn’t everyman for him or herself. We are friends with our neighbours—we are aware of people far away. We don’t handle the neighbour like our parents did— they were flawed but---so honourable----honour---that’s the essence of a man’s existence. If a man—no matter his place—has no honour—he has nothing. |
| My father introduced to me W.A.C. Bennett—the greatest person this province or any other has ever seen---///my dad who knew Ted and Herb Doman well—said—“Son”—(pointing at W.A.C. Bennett)—“This is a great man”. My favourite book on W.A.C. Bennett is by David Mitchell—an academic from B.C. doing very well for himself back east. I would like to see David Mitchell—President of my alma mater Simon Fraser University---I loved that school—summertime. |
| Kids—and old people—stay in school—learning and knowledge matter—it’s what makes us better---growing—changing—learning--looks like my eldest is heading to Simon Fraser--good. |
| This is what gentlemen and women of FREE Enterprise live and breath for. Freedom to create-- Freedom to put a family and a history together. |
| I tell you a secret true---there is a better message in my province then just this. |
| You won’t believe how beautiful it is here. I have met many people from many countries who live here in British Columbia---and not one—not one of those persons has said that there is any better city than Vancouver----than our province---and what I am saying is that I am not feeling this love in our political environment. |
| Our political system is a Frankenstein's monster--the people know it--and even the voting die-hards admit "something has to change". |
| For a majority of British Columbians in this ROBBINS poll--the solution is in opposites--in this case--Don't Vote--don't validate//affirm the same old same old---Obama is a change in the U.S.--this is what Americans were looking for--BC needs its own Obama---Glen P. Obama? what do you think?---BC has found it in the Don't Vote BC 09 campaign. |
| It’s my personal impression that BC’s Solicitor General John Van Dongen going after Victoria—and Esquimalt police---my family is from these two great towns---you and I both know this political. The Victoria and Esquimalt police forces aren’t perfect—but they are both fine police forces, and certainly tremendous maritime towns---very beautiful and on the harbour facing out to the sea----gorgeous—a tremendous history---police are human beings---they earn their keep the hard way—that’s no excuse—just a point. |
| The “Don’t Vote BC 09”---could be huge. A somewhat—blunt—angry comment from author Glen P. Robbins—(see Indo Canadians blame White Guys under BC poll at www.robbinssceresearch.com--)---is taken by Jim Van Rassel and Davis Friesen and overnight—the newest rage----I’m NOT going to vote---those who aren’t voters (34-37%)---don’t back the Don’t Vote BC 09 absolutely—but its close to unanimous. |
| How afraid will this make some people---or is there enough creativity in this old forestry town-----to understand that the if you want the world in—make your front door larger—
Know what I mean—Jellybean? |
| Could the “Don’t Vote" campaign spread far and wide across Canada? We are a nation of protestors—and after all—honestly has anyone of these folks actually earned our respect, our vote---I don’t think it’s even one half anymore? I’m concerned by it--. |
| “Don’t Vote” is easily sold north of Hope—in the Interior and North of the Province with aggregate “Yes” (57%)----however in the more localized communities of Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge and Mission this number hits (62%)—all in—a potential ‘dustbowl’ of voters. |
| The highest number of anti-“No” respondents are in Victoria where only (43%) were willing to support this novel approach to democratic change. |
| Vancouver is going through some Olympic stuff (49%)—while Surrey is committed to a fight of “No”-------(52%). |
| Van Rassel continues to have a tremendous sense of who he is and where he wants to go-and Davis Friesen---editing a lot of Van Rassel—and certainly playing a significant role in ROBBINS success---the son of a well known Preacher—and not a smarter fairer dude could ya meet. |
| Watch for Van Rassel and Friesen’s “Don’t Vote BC 09”—. |
