To say we have to wait three years to change it is a travesty of the very democracy we are supposed to live in.<br /><br />What Gordon Campbell has done is turn BC into a Corporatist state, where the rules favour corporations and the political elites. A Corporatist State is a Fascist state. This is very dangerous, as the rest of the population is in turmoil, a seething mass of hatred to the present corporatist state.<br /><br />If Gordo and his crew reject the HST petition, watch out, the peons are going to revolt, just like Thailand, the dispossed will challenge the present illegitimate government.<br /><br />It will fail, but will sow even more hatred and loathing on a discredited political system and change will be demanded. If no change, then watch out, there could be some very nasty events happening here in BC within the next 5 years.<br /><br />The actions of Gordo the Great, may very well lead to some very unhappy events in BC's short and sordid history.Evil Eyenoreply@blogger.com
