Commentary

A Super-Majority of respondents culled from the city of Vancouver, City of Surrey, and City of Coquitlam do not believe it is fair that they should be fined if they do not "shovel their sidewalks of snow."

Nearly as many respondents in this ZEUS/ROBBINS poll "believe fewer and fewer British Columbians are voting in elections"--is because "There is nothing and no-one to vote for"-- strongly suggests that B.C. as a viable democracy is in the deep freeze with citizens.

This is the foundation of the type of problems that Copehagen and the world environmental movement have.

Here is the problem -- you cannot bring the people onside to such heady stuff without whipping up a little environmental fire among them. The theory is clear---no matter whose language you listen to, or ignore some-- wild stuff is going on in the world--we are growing in population -- southasia and souteast asia since the 1950's has exploded into massive cities--China is just revving its turbine from factory hell---but we need China, geopolitically, economically -- this India, and my Netanyahu investment some weeks ago--sets the proper framework for the next move.

In large geopolitical undertakings, nuclear, environmental, etc. verification and accountability must be defined--how would you do it? Do verifiers come to the United States--Canada? The Tar Sands in Alberta is going to kill Canada's reputation--but if we didn't have the Tar Sands--we might go broke.

Now all you gamers--was Copenhagen actually a failure? No, it was successful -- but not because anyone planned it that way.

We are starting to put clear values on things environmental. Excellent. Let's move the next phase through less drama and put more meat on them bones.

It is more than the environment--it's the oceans--(the total environment) what will it cost to do all of this?--and set the stage for the next era of economic advancement--involving the environment. It's not enough to be involved and want it to win because you are involved. This next move will require vigourous debate and immense intelligence--and more than just science smarts.

For my part, I would like to develop as leader of British Columbia a more receptive legal -- and administrative International resource to provide to all countries. To quickly underpin this idea--I would move that ZEUS in it's next phase provides significant resources to students seeking law degrees in environmental and ethical law. We want to be the best in the World at this--and create an atmosphere of trust and confidence for people of other countries to come and make their arguments.

You see, Canada's future is actually dependent not just our reputations as honest brokers--and not just on our resources etc.--it's our historical ability to service--not just tourism--service others from other countries--law, education, health etc.--and you do not accomplish this being a nickel and dime--pretend conservative--for real Saw 2 premier like Gordon Campbell.

You know, Gordon Campbell was walking dead well before he condemned himself for certain with his own stauch supporters--cutting community dollars--which forms a good part of the lifeblood of societies and communities througout the province of British Columbia. Walk through the logic of this---Campbell lies about the budget 4.5 billion --lies about the H.S.T.//okay skanky liar--this is a conclusion--. Campbell tells British Columbians during the last provincial election that the debt is going to be one tenth of the true amount (and who knows maybe it's actually even higher than that and the next lie is actually just another lie?) Campbell knows all of this and sends Gilligan Hansen his financial minister--dressed in a woman's wig and highlander dress to seduce 'Fighting Irish' Jim Flaherty--Canada's flamboyant finance minister--while Mickey Flaherty has his cheque book with him. "Is that you Colin?" "Why are you dressed like a hooker?"

Gordon Campbell takes 1.6 billion to cover off 40% of his lie. Forrest Gump could have cut that deal for $10 billion. Glen P. Robbins will take $9 billion (Campbell has a negative influence even on those paying attention).

So, after lying through his teeth, completely prostituting any democratic principles (and what is new here?), and ruining a democratic election in the province, Campbell genuflects to save half of his total buttock--and then punishes the people in the communities in the province--by cutting up the modest contributions to those constituents--who really produce the greatest carbon footprint of all--better, happier people -- young and old--the grassroots communities of course.

This pathetic Campbell Liberal vignette -- a prime example of the narcissism that afflicts our political culture--I screwed up -- you pay-- and you pay--not just tax dollars---we take more -- and more and more --- and you still pay -- because you get nothing back.

That's why the voting is falling--not so bone low provincially--that anyone panicked--but it could continue to drop and fall as low as municipal elections in this province (if you can call these elections), often under (20%) voter turnout.

You see where this is going relative to the overarching matter of Copenhagen?--my modest investment in the Netanyahu poll--if the people in your democracy do not believe you, and won't vote -- when they can drive six blocks to city hall to see you grab a coffee---how the hell are they going to believe anything you say--on the trust me--half way around the world?

Be accountable on your home turf. Canada's future depends on accountability. We don't have it in Ottawa or British Columbia. That's the truth. We talk a big civil service game--we aren't that good--sorry--it's how it is.

I'll do my level best to clean the streets of garbage in British Columbia--and frankly this will start in the legislature and be pursued in all avenues of government business--until we push away one stale, stagnant government culture, and replace it with dynamic institutions--that serve the people of British Columbia for taxes FIRST--and the citizens of the World --seeking our good sense and fairness at the highest levels--just after FIRST has been completely satisfied.

Well trained people with para legal degrees working on the phones in the public service -- not leaving message--but responding quickly to the public's needs/proper email responses where applicable and direct service to seniors--I have walked through the lives of many workers in B.C.--doing my thing--and I can tell you --you don't want to be a working person in this province--unless you are a shop steward in a union.

That's why I hope to create the Glen P. Robbins B.C. Union--right from scratch. Working people without representation--will join this new union--fair wages--starting at $15.00 -- fair dues---invested in your new Glen P. Robbins B.C. provincial union pensions--("PUP")--only for those who aren't in a union--or feel the union they are in--- is a waste of time and money.

Employment Standards in this province has flat out stunk for well over a decade. I am going to change everything about this--once I can find out precisely how bad it is--as bad as Children and Families I'll bet.

(49%) of eligible BC voters--voted in the last provincial election -- and upwards of (80%) of 'likely' eligible voters simply dismiss politicals as overall unimpeachable/there is nothing they can do--and the major contributor to this desperation -- is Gordon Campbell's BC Liberals.

There are women--at home in the day--screaming "Don't touch any more of my money"---respondents in Vancouver are anti-Vancouver premier--event THEY need a rest. If Carole Taylor is interested in raising dollars for a cattle ranch just outside Fort McMurray--okay---unless she wants to move to Port Moody--(where is Christy and why is she packing her bags?)

How about this race for next leader of BC Liberals--Richard Stewart, Linda Reid, Geoff Plant, and Sebastian what's his last name?

(Richard's new green business is taking mud from the house slides in Coquitlam and selling it to owners of leaky condos as a type of new mortar for cracks and such--good luck).

To help with the next election--I am willing to do my best to push the voter total to 67%---using various talents and personal charisma--plus other techniques--which may or may not include brainwashing---

So instead of fining taxpayers $50.00 for not voting now--and inducing riots and many deaths likely--I will try to follow Campbell's decade of depression--with a certain glib talk and middle age spryness---and push the voter turnout upward. After the 67% is achieved then we have the foundation to introduce the punitive--I mean policy iniative.

I figure that's worth $50,000,000.00--that and that crazy--lesbo -- facist -- pedophile thing back in 2000.

I would develop ZEUS headquarters in Victoria, B.C.--my hometown. I had such a good time growing up there--will old friend BC Liberal Murray Coelle give me his seat in the B.C. Legislature in return for being BC's post-secondary CZAR--the pension's kicking in--(and I have things to do). Students mostly social science -- law and such $16.50 per hour tracking respondents. The big phone dog would be in Vancouver--or Surrey--with the World headquarters--(now think about the environmental--ethical legal push)---Whitehorse, Yukon--right up close to the new Canadian military looking after our northern border--true north strong and free--that's it--the right muscle, influence and country the world needs--British Columbia--the best of the best---known throughout the world for being the best of all levels of service--not for being in denial about everything--. I would also provide money for jobs for junior high school students--$10.00 per hour helping the S.P.C.A. with all the dogs, cats, and other animals. Principles' at schools would select students--my criteria would be on good attendance--you can have all the talent and brains in the world--but if you don't show up--it isn't going to work out for you. I would do my best to get BC S.P.C.A. $$ on the condition that Sarah M. listens to one 'nice country song' I have written for her. Guaranteed she'll love it-(you won't Fantasy Gardens me for that will you?){My wife rejects this as silly--my 14 year old daughter liked it).
