Bits 'n Bites

- Larry just won't be quiet. So Carole would be a shoo-in. Yes, Lar, we all know that. Go back to your Red Chamber, collect your sinecure and shutenzie up.

- The Judge makes "an error" and has to apologize to the jury in the Pickton trial? Can Canadian jurisprudence, already reeling from the continuing exposure at the Air India hearings, get any more pummeled by its own neglect?

- Rarely have I seen Vaughn Palmer take after this Liberal government with such gusto as he has in the case of these soul-less Liberals hacking away at the budget of the Child Protection office. And he is ever so right to do so. He is also right to point out that it is the premier who is behind this pettiness and politicking, which will ultimately penalize children at risk. Also noted is the amount cut back equals the amount spent by that idiot, Christensen, on office renos. How do these creeps look at themselves in the mirror?

- Gary Lunn, MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands, has done NOTHING for anyone in all his years in office. But now he has managed the impossible - a tax forgiveness for one special group of people. The group is irrelevant; the issue is why them and not me or you? Can you say, corruption and favoritism, boys and girls?

- "I will take care to separate the affairs of government from any religion, but I will not separate us from the God who gave us liberty. Nor would I separate us from our religious heritage." This is Mitt Romney, the Mormon Republican presidential candidate, who is being rebuffed by some Christians for his religious beliefs, while other flock (sic!) to Mike Huckabee, the Baptist candidate. So this is what American politics has come down to - My God is Better than Your God!

- It sickens me to see Vanoc crying out for 25,000 volunteers for their 2 week multi-Billion Dollar Frat party. We desperately need volunteers for old folks, for youngsters, for health care, for education. At Langara College, we are currently placing 40 new student volunteers into action with the Boys and Girls Clubs and the Louis Brier Home. To take volunteer time and energy and care away from these quiet and honorable pursuits to enable the public scam known as 2010 is detestable.

This isn't apropos to much except your mention of corruption. The Premier touts the TFN treaty in today's Sun but fails to mention that Tsawassen residents who live on TFN lands (above highway 17) will now pay taxes directly to the TFN. We're talking income tax, land taxes, etc. (See Delta Optimist Dec. 5/07 article by John Cummins). Have a great day! Cheers.
