		<title>Colin Hansen thinks we&#8217;re all fools</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I&#8217;m listening to CKNW with Mike Smythe in the morning and he was interviewing Colin Hansen. Apparently Colin Hansen thinks that the roughly 500,000 signatures equates to only 18% of the eligible voters and therefore is not truly democratic and therefore they shouldn&#8217;t listen to the will of the people. Hey Colin.  Try your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eric Foster MLA extraordinaire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not sure if you&#8217;ve heard the latest, but another Liberal MLA thinks they&#8217;re better than the rest of us.  His name is Eric Foster and apparently he said something like, &#8220;if recall is successful, people in government will make decisions based on whether they will be re-elected or recalled instead of what&#8217;s best for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>incredible.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen this? Incredible.  Over 700,000 British Columbians signed the petition and now, not only does the government arrogantly ignore us, but now BIG BUSINESS wants to ensure that the voices and wishes of everyday ordinary British Columbians remain unheard as well. Just who is running this province?  Just who gives the government legitimacy? [...]]]></description>

		<title>They don&#8217;t get it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just reading another news article about the Comox Valley MLA standing firm on the HST. I have to wonder what is wrong with these people that they just don&#8217;t understand the issue.  We supposedly pay MLA&#8217;s so well in order to get the best and brightest to take the job&#8230; however, with the constant nonsense [...]]]></description>

		<title>BC Liberal Terry Lake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have a look at this article and you can see that Terry Lake seems to think that he doesn&#8217;t want to change his thinking on the HST.  Are these Liberals playing with a full deck? No one is saying that you can&#8217;t think that the HST is a good move for the province.  The issue is [...]]]></description>

		<title>hmmm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A man walks into a psychiatrists office and speaks to the receptionist.  The receptionist gets up and goes into the doctors office and says &#8220;You have a new patient in the waiting room.  He says he&#8217;s invisible.&#8221;  The doctor thinks for a moment and says &#8220;Tell him I can&#8217;t see him.&#8221;.]]></description>

		<title>Dear Liberals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An open letter to the Liberals here in BC.  I have a suggestion on how you can fix this HST mess you&#8217;ve found yourselves in. Step 1.  Rescind or delay the implementation of the HST. Step 2.  Call an election. Step 3.  Let the people decide in an election whether they&#8217;re willing to accept the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gordon Campbell &#8211; unbelievable.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, just read in the news today that Gordon believes that this HST will create thousands of jobs in BC and therefore, it&#8217;s critical that it continues. Well, let me understand this then.  Before the election, those &#8220;thousands&#8221; of jobs and increased competitiveness of our manufacturing business sector wasn&#8217;t critical.  It didn&#8217;t mean anything to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is there something wrong with Colin Hansen?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to the Christy Clark show on CKNW today and heard Colin Hansen speaking on it. I don&#8217;t know if there is something seriously wrong with him or if he&#8217;s honestly unable to perform his duties as finance minister.  As the conversation on the HST continued, he kept mentioning how if we want [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple support is the best</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just have to say that Apple gets it. They know how to treat customers and lots of companies can take a lesson from them. I&#8217;ll have more details a bit later, but for right now, just let me say thanks to Candice from NC. You&#8217;re very good at what you do.]]></description>
