Ok, Tim, Tim, Timmy, Tim McEwan

Get your head out of the other orfice, and come to the realization that there is going to be no new mines until the Provincial Government deals with the Land claims.

Turn it into one stop approval board.

There is an election coming in May 2009.
If it wasn't for that,these wonderboys would not be anywhere near northern B.C.
All designed to blow your mind!

As far as the provincial government is concerned equal opportunity to free enterprise is dead. The things that an economy is built on. The corpocracy and socialists see nothing in it for them....

I wonder if he will be bringing David Emerson with him when the 'gang' come to Prince George. It's amazing that the guy who bailed from Canfor, bailed from his party to switch sides, gave us a crippling softwood agreement and now bailed from federal politics all together - is swooped up in another Gordo campaign style move and we are expected to bow down and praise what is just another waste of tax dollars.

The election can't come soon enough!

And no mention of sessions with the public at large, just chosen guests. Ah it's good to see "democracy" at work.

We (meaning the government of the people of Canada) had...how much?? 74 billion in the EI reserve bank until the conservatives dipped into it....now in times of economic uncertainty when the only thing certain is that EI claims are sure to rise due to job losses, it is not known if the government will be able to fund it. Yeah, thanks Harper!

And you can bet your booties that as leader of BC Refederation, I'll be there for this one!
Might be alone, but I will be there!
Thanks Ben!
