I'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours

It wasn't until after enough ballots were counted in the Surrey Panorama-Ridge byelection to declare Jagrup Brar the winner, that Gordon Campbell launched into his diatribe about how "big labour" won the seat for the NDP. This time, the Premier is wasting no time in showing off his vendetta towards the labour movement.

It's kind of sad that only a few days into the campaign, Campbell is already reduced to potshots and fear-mongering about the big, bad unions and their secret agenda. However, it's also damned funny, coming from the pinhead who brought us such articles of faith as "I don't believe in tearing up collective agreements", "I will not sell BC Rail", "No officer, I haven't been drinking" and "The NDP fudged the budget."

Does the NDP have a hidden agenda? I haven't seen one, but I sure hope it includes restoring pay equity and automatic certification if 50% of employees at a worksite sign union cards. Of course the Liberals have been more than above board about things like their plans to privatize B.C.'s public school services in the same way they privatized services at hospitals. I'm sure that was mentioned somewhere in between the aerial photography and 2010 Olympic bumph.

Meanwhile, British Columbians are waiting to see Gordon Campbell's itinerary, let alone a platform from the Liberals. For some reason, Gordon Campbell really hates people who like to serve the public, earn a decent living, and return much of what they earn to the community in the form of taxes and local spending. Projecting his issues about his longstanding problem with the truth on to Carole James only goes to prove how much Campbell is trying to hide it.

For the record, the NDP does have a hidden agenda, notice how Carole James hasn't talked openly about forming the government the way Campbell blustered about in 2001? If you play "Send Gordon Campbell a message" backwards, the message you hear is "Premier Carole James".
