China’s GTV releases a sex tape of Hunter Biden, smoking crack and having sex with a girl that may or may not be of legal age. Holy shit!

In the recent election in B.C., the Liberals got 43 seats, the NDP 41, and the Greens 3 seats. The NDP and Greens formed a kind of coalition although they stress it is not a coalition. This is not what the voters who voted for NDP or Green parties voted for. Their agenda is bad news for B.C. They plan to stop the Trans Mountain Pipeline project. This will be very bad for Canada and could have serious ramifications for national unity. Alberta is quite choked up by the harsh words the Green Party leader Andrew Weaver said against the Alberta oil industry, shipping oil, and against Premier Notley. This was the first major gaff by the Green Party leader. Now we have a situation where the Premier of Alberta and the PM have their backs up. Also, there is a situation where the NDP/Green coalition could be required to supply one member as the speaker in the legislature. This presents a major problem because the LIberals have 43 seats, the NDP 41 and Greens 3. The total number of MLAs is 87. This means if the NDP supply the Speaker, the NDP/Green coalition will have only 43 members, which is the same as the Liberals. This could create a very unstable legislature. The Liberals are unlikely to provide the Speaker because that would reduce them to 42 members. This means if no party provides an MLA to be the Speaker, the lieutenant governor could be forced to dissolve the legislature and call and election. The parties will have some very hard decisions to make within weeks.

If Donald Trump were the son of an ordinary Joe he'd be working as a used car salesman on the outskirts of Schenectady selling flood cars at a dealer which keeps changing its name to keep one step ahead of lawsuits and regulators and going home to his trailer to eat Kraft Dinner in front of his stolen TV.

BC NDP win majority and will form the next government without any interference or power sharing with the tree-huggers. I could not be happier.

...and I predict that Democrats and their supporters would welcome such a thing and blame it all on Trump.

Tech oligarchs are trying to protect Biden from his scandals.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. No wonder Obama got nothing done diplomatically except for paying Iran and starting a new war in Libya. What a refreshing change the last 4 years have been. No new wars. 4 new peace deals and Arab countries normalizing relations with Israel.

I’m curious as to what others on here think, but I’ve discovered over the years that the anti-development extreme environmentalist tends either to come from wealth and therefore doesn’t really have to worry too much about pesky things like having a job and cost of living or else it’s the society drop out type who may be poor but in any event hasn’t worked very much or had to function in the real world where things are built and sacrifices are made. The NDP paint the doers of the world as the rich patriarchy and promise to be Robin Hood. Their empowerment always ends the same way, with big debts, broken promises they couldn’t afford to keep, and businesses fleeing the jurisdiction. Where the NDP are about redistribution of wealth to the poor, earned or not, the Greens are about asceticism, reducing consumption and waste. It sounds good at first glance. It means people will have and consume less. It’s a lean, mean lifestyle. It seems progressive, but then I remember that the founder of Earth Day murdered his wife and Hitler was a vegetarian. All that glitters is not gold. Whether it’s a Green or an NDP government, if you work for a living, expect to have less. If the people of your province want that, knock yourselves out. The suits in the steak houses on Bay Street and Wall Street think you’re all suckers, which is fine. You’re better than they are, right?

The oft-repeated claim that NDP are bad economic stewards is a myth. A 2013 UBC study demonstrated that relative fiscal management was moderately better under the NDP than the Liberals, when compared to other provinces. The Mike Harcourt Government in particular out-performed the Liberals, as well as the governments led by Clark, Miller and Dosanjh. In 2012, the Business Council of BC published a study comparing decade-by-decade economic performance spanning 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. What the UBC and the Business Council of BC studies both acknowledge is that factors external to a government also affects overall economic performance. A simplistic "NDP are bad, Liberals are good" ignores facts, history and the realities of managing an economy that can be buffeted by forces entirely outside the control of the government of the day.

Unfortunately, yes. Seems to be the way it works. Now the voters have thrown some Greens into the mix, giving it an even worse influence.

Please don't lump everyone in B.C. in with the "green agenda" or environmental radicals. I think at least half the people in B.C. support the KM pipeline. We're not all enviro "mental" types.

It would appear as though common sense and logic is not your strong suit, but emotionalism and foolish talk is..Oh please. Coal smoke is not that near too anybody's house here in Canada. Environmentalist liberal nonsense talk. The Green Party environmentalists would like nothing more than to de-industrailize Canada, and put millions out of work just to save the earths temperature from going up a few degrees in the next hundred years. Give me a break, greenie.

I am ready for another election. All the Greens believe in and would like to do is send us all back to the 18th century. We can't allow that to happen. The Green Party in my opinion are nothing more than a bunch of environ"mental" wackos.

I didn't say anything about a pipeline. Alberta should butt out of the BC election. None of their business.
