TEA & TWO SLICES: On Gordo As The Best At Something And Jaws Hitting The Floor

by Sean Orr | Gordon Campbell named best premier for fiscal management. If your jaw did not just hit the floor you’re probably new here. I will concede, however, that he was probably the absolute best at dismantling the social safety net- which is what they actually mean by fiscal management.

Campbell to skip Order of B.C. ceremony. To be fair, he’s too busy getting sworn in as Grand Imperial Wizard of the Knights Templar.

Speaking of the New World Order, Officials prepare to unveil North American border-security project. But we really know it’s part of a larger conspiracy to control the trade of citrus. Not me though, man, I smuggle lemons across the border, like once a year at least!

Fraser Institute: celebrate workers by giving them more choice. Sweet! So you guys got this published in the…Sudbury Star. No, but seriously, what are you even saying? “That’s certainly not an anti-union statement … but the playing field is often tilted in favour of unions at the expense of ordinary workers.” So unionized workers are not ordinary?

And now you can see it first hand with Eastside Stories: Diary of a Beat Cop. Man, it’s really hard to be cynical about this, but I’m going to do my best for you guys.

BC sitting on ‘massive’ store of geothermal energy. Likelihood that they will privatise it and sell it to the United States? Ooh, about 95%.

Tweet of the day: GregEh, “Black chick with a black dog meets ginger chick with white/gold dog. In Vancouver we call this “multiculturalism.”

Bonus: Stop Spying.
