Wallpaper: BCRIC shares ARE worth more than Christy Clark's Prosperity Fund

Premiers Bill Bennett and Christy Clark.

Both had brothers that were never shown together in public.

Fantasy gas fund built on shifting sands

Putting faith in LNG is like counting your chickens before they hatch - or banking on a future that may never arrive.

I put Premier Christy Clark's "plan" for a multibillion-dollar "Prosperity Fund" in the same category of wishful thinking. We don't have a single commitment yet for a major LNG export plant, yet we're already spending the money.

Christy Clark's Prosperity Fund claim ......  'the first of its kind in North America' 

It only makes her failure to get a deal done even worse because everyone knows that the USA started first, and they had the infrastructure in place.

Getting the Premier's Ear: The Concept Paper (For Gordon Campbell / Christy Clark)

If the public has never understood the Legislature, when bringing in new laws, or revamping old ones, then this document is the one to read, especially in light of a new Government.

Item 29  Getting the Premier's ear .....  Volume 44, Number 8   August 2013

Audience:
Grades 10, 11 or 12 Social Studies, Civic Studies, Social Justice 12, Law 12

Students will select an issue and work through the process of creating a concept paper.

Objectives
To develop an understanding of the process required to create a legislative bill.  To understand  that the concept paper is merely the first step in a more comprehensive process to develop legislation.  To engage in the process of initiating change.  To understand that legislative gives effect to government policy (a.k.a. decision).

1882: British Columbia: Information for Emigrants: Climate and Resources

 "No words can be too strong to express the charm of this delightful land, where the climate, softer and more constant than the south of England, ensures as all times of the year a full enjoyment of the wonderful loveliness of nature around you,"    Speech of Governor-General The Marquis of Lorne, Victoria, 27th October, 1882

Province of British Columbia, Canada : its climate and resources; with information for emigrants.

 Page 8 of 65

 ..... Any smart, active, capable man, with only a little money, but accustomed to work with his hands, is sure to succeed in making a comfortable home.  Wages are very high; land, food, and house materials are still relatively cheap.  If such a settler has a strong heart himself, and is blessed with a common-sense wife used to country work, he may confidently look forward to becoming even rich.  He need not long remain in the condition of a labourer.  This certainty of rising in the social scale must stimulate the emigrant.  Many new avenues to success will be opened when the railways are finished, and men should be here to discover these for themselves.

Pages 11 & 12

If the BC Premier's Office "Public Key Contact" titles remain the same, and so too their phone numbers, will ...?

 .... those who are 'outside of government', but having enjoyed the BC Liberals Premiers ears for sixteen years, find themselves talking to the BC NDP staff?

Will the new government have access to the phone records of the Premier's office to see who has been calling?

Is there such a thing as a '404' error message to those dialing in .....?

The really bizarre happened when Christy Clark replaced Gordon Campbell.  Every photo of Campbell in relation to his achievements were immediately replaced with Clark as though she did it all for the BC Liberals.

Will the public now see Horgan's image where Clark was  .....?

Emily Sanregret, 21, died in a marked crosswalk because Surrey didn't implement "Protecting people who walk and cycle"

Emily Sanregret Surrey
Pedestrian killed had complained about feeling 'invisible' in crosswalk before



Surrey is not alone.

Most British Columbian municipalities are included.

Their association UBCM, should be involved except that their focus is on speeding motorist, not motorist seeing pedestrians.

District of North Vancouver's action on this front is to put up more signs alerting motorists that there are pedestrians at the curbs.  The problem with their signage is that most motorists are not interested in reading signs, even if they come with a YELLOW background, BLACK printing of NEW.



The problem is that the expectant Green light that the motorist is waiting for, to proceed through, and/or turning left or right, happens at EXACTLY the same time that the Pedestrian light indicates its SAFE to WALK.

The answer:

 Changing the intervals between the Motorists Green light and the Pedestrian's White light is far less expensive in material and time resources than putting up signs that are ignored.

A BC Liberal government December 8, 2016 document was published to alleviate the pain but they  only went one third of the way on a promise of Three modules.

"Community Road Safety Toolkit Module    Protecting people who walk and cycle"

Leading Pedestrian Intervals  (Page 7 of 32)

1. Leading pedestrian intervals, aka advanced green for pedestrians, are re-programmed intersection signal phases that provide pedestrians a head start of 3 to 7 seconds (or longer) over drivers, reducing the potential for driver-pedestrian conflicts and crashes. Given this is a proven and low-cost safety design, it should be strongly considered for widespread implementation.
   
2. http://www.llbc.leg.bc.ca/public/pubdocs/bcdocs2016_2/604183/community_road_safety_toolkit_module1.pdf

Document Properties:

1. This module is the first of what will ultimately be three modules of the BC Community Road Safety Toolkit. This first module focuses on road designs that work to better protect pedestrians and cyclists from motor vehicle-related injury. This module also contains information on strategies that encourage more people to walk, cycle and use public transit since shifting to these methods of transport decreases private car use and that, in turn, generates better road safety benefits.

British Columbia: Four Minority Parties as of 2013

There's been a lot of traffic (by my standards)  to an old Post from just before the 2013 election which the BC NDP were poised to win, and didn't.

The 2017 talk of late is about the minority Government of the BC NDP, with the assistance of three Green MLAs in conjunction with the dismal performance by BC Liberal Leader Christy Clark's 2017 election campaign and in combination with her bizarre clone Throne speech.  Both items have left the small 'c' BC conservatives within the BC Liberal Party looking towards their future not being a minority party within another minority party (BC Liberals).

If Christy Clark has to face a leadership debate, and loses, then the only option for the new leader if he/she is not an MLA is to look to someone who is an MLA (on the BC Liberal side) to step down.

Would Christy Clark do a Gordon Campbell and resign?   ??? not likely unless there was a High Commissioner Carrot waiting in the wings in the hands of another Prime Minister of Canada.

If Christy Clark did resign her Kelowna-West-revolving-door-mla-seat it would once again be up for grabs, with two catches for the new Opposition Leader to win the seat.

One:
The BC Liberals no longer being the government, no longer have access to the deep 2013 Treasury account pockets to offer a 'bona fide' job to another outgoing Kelowna-West MLA another job in China.

Two:
The BC conservatives could win the seat in Kelowna-West.


Question for the BC Legislature Clerk:

If the BC NDP / Green  coalitions works for one or two years, will the next Government be in for the remainder of the 2017 - 2021 term or would it be four years from 2018 or 2019 to 2022 to 2023?

We spent the afternoon using data from before 2009 and after, AND we used two different sources:

Rossk's:    The Gazetteer:

http://pacificgazette.blogspot.ca/2013/03/is-mr-cummins-now-officially-zombie.html 

And:

Adrian MacNair's:    Unambiguously Ambidextrous

http://unambig.com/will-fall-of-b-c-liberals-give-sway-to-b-c-conservatives/


And then just at the last minute we hit the Microsoft's Excel TrendLine button, for each Party......

PS.... the data provided by the Pollsters isn't for every month, .... it appears to be done in the same fashion as the Historical Prime Rate..... if the data doesn't go up or down.... they just don't record it... and then when things really goes sideways they'll put two sets of data in one month..... we went for every month.... even if it meant using the same numbers till there was a change....either up or down.

Interesting. Will be discouraging to Liberal partisans. If the graph started January 2009, the trend lines would be even more discouraging to those folks.
