This is especially true for the building trades and the contractors soon feel the pinch.<br /><br />There are welcome signs of unrest within the BC ilLiberal ranks. I do hope that Campbell and Hansen are, at the very least, forced out in disgrace.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-39044282074084366782010-09-05T11:45:24.462-07:002010-09-05T11:45:24.462-07:00Campbell wasn't selling the BC Rail either.

Some of our mills were sent to China, along with our raw logs. There have been 51 mills shut down. Every time a mill was closed in BC, another mill opened in China. <br /><br />I haven't saved one penny,because of the HST. Instead of prices going down, they were jacked up sky high. Supermarkets, just before the HST was applied, they raised their prices so high, many of us can't afford, to buy meat. One chicken, is now over $15.00. I buy through the underground, one chicken, is $5.50. Eggs $1.60 and so on. This province, is in utter ruin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-17585994325976682162010-09-02T09:40:03.634-07:002010-09-02T09:40:03.634-07:00I think this one may be over the top.

Folks were angry enough before at the high-handed way Campbell & Co. saddled us to the HST but now to learn they lied to our faces throughout the election is beyond the pale.<br /><br />The provincial faux-liberal government's popularity was already in the bucket before these revelations. Some think their numbers are now well into the single digits. That flushing sound you hear is Campbell's chances of surviving this scandal.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-35404392933809980702010-09-02T09:18:33.609-07:002010-09-02T09:18:33.609-07:00Sadly, people have almost come to expect their pol...Sadly, people have almost come to expect their politicians to lie to them.
