LOL

yeah, thats going to be a problem for us, not being the golden child of the premier.

I would hate see what the north would have got if Campbell DIDN'T like us!
As Bond's post clearly shows,it is all about them.
We did this,Gordon did that,we are wonderful and nobody appreciated us.
Not once does she "reflect" on why there was so much anger and animosity towards this government.
Other ministers showed the same attitude after Campbell resigned.
We did nothing wrong, and Gordon Campbell was great.
Any way the anger could be the fault of the government itself?
Do they ever admit to screwing up, or do they continue to pat themselves on the back and keep ignoring what the people of B.C. are telling them?
No one is saying they did everything wrong,but what they are saying is they did some very serious things wrong.
Now they pay the price for that.

The Prince George Northern Cancer Centre is under construction and it will be up and rolling by May 2013. Thank God for that! I just came back from the Kelowna cancer clinic and heard that some staff from there are already scheduled to come to Prince George soon.

Thanks to whoever made the Prince George clinic a top priority! Nobody thought it was important during the nineties!

Direct from Korea?!?! They've abused the healthcare in the north for so long we should be getting something. Yes Shirley sounds like she is really going to miss good old Gordo, sounds like they really had fun together, at the expense of the rest of BC. Well I think I better go reflect now. I guess it wasn't Campbell that made such a mess of things because he really really cares and Shirley and him were doing a really really good job. Ask Shirley.

Another paid holiday.

Go ahead and trash Gordon Campbell. What else is new. I would expect no less.

As for myself, I never agreed with our Premier or even my MLA all the time, but they have continued to support the Province and the North to the best of their ability.

Not for one minute do I believe that we could have been served any better. I am a proud supporter of Pat Bell, Shirley Bond and John Rustad. They all do good work and represent our region well.

Your next Bondo.

shirley bond is still toting the party line. its enough to gag a maggot.

“It is not just about a Premier, it’s about a friend"

Isn't it also about a relative Shirley?

Hey Shirley.. how many closed schools in the north ? How long are the line up for people still waiting for surgery in the north ? How much has all of our cost of living gone up. Please dont favricate this junk to make him sound like a hero to the north.. all he did was take our taxes and waste them down south. As for you.. time you took a hint and got off the sinking ship.. Please tell us again how the HST wasnt considered till after the election.. But I am sure you will take full advantage of every photo op with this announcement.

How soon we forget what the NDP did to this provice

Bond, Bell, and Rustad are all yes men (and ladies) to Gordon Campbell. Dont beleive any of the BS about Campbell being a big supporter of the North Anytime he came to town he couldnt get out fast enough.

I dont think he ever stayed overnight. He would do two or three quick visits in a day and get the hell out of dodge., Im sure he thought of us as a bunch of backwoods whiners, and he only tolerated us because we had the potential of voting in 3 MLA's .

Campbell and his cohorts brought this whole problem on themselves.

1. BC Rail fiasco
2. HST fiasco
3. Carbon Tax fiasco
4. Increase in gambling fiasco and online gambling
5. Fast Ferries increases
6. Huge costs for BC Transit and the Sky Train.
7. Huge over runs for the Olympics, and the huge costs for the Sea to Sky Highway which will be down loaded onto all taxpayers in BC but benefit only those who live in Whistler.
8.etc; etc; etc;

Campbell and his buddy Colin Hansen were not smart enough to see that by bringing in ths HST they would bring down the Government. They did not share any information on the HST, or Cabinet Changes, or changes to Government Portfolio's with any of the Cabinet. He announced the binding referendum and the so called 15% decrease in income tax without any discussion with other members of the Government.

As a result of his **I am smarter than you attitude**, he has lost the Government, and will go down in History as a Premier who had it all and lost it all because of his ego, and lack of understanding of the basic fundementals of democracy.

No argument there Palopu!

HST was the last straw that broke the Campbell's back. The problem of Campbell
was the growing corruption of his team and "his dear friends" and his failure to surrond himself with capable ministers.

Who would have hired Bond as Health minister after creating the mess in her backyard in UNBC as minister of Adv. Education? Or what did she do when McNamara was forced out of UNBC last
year? The nurses union strike was more about the performance of "dear friends" of Bond and Campbell in Northern Health.

Now all the mayors of Vancouver area are against Shirley's policies as minister of transportation and I guess she has seen the writing on the wall. One of these mayors may become the next BC premier, if Liberals want to survive.

I hope "the dear friends" of Shirley in Prince George get the message and start cleaning the garbage accumulated in the public sector in the town (e.g. in Northern Health and UNBC) and do a
better job of serving the employees and the people.

The party is over ....

Are you kidding Shirley Bond!!! To say that Gordon Campbell cares about the North?

Gordon Campbell cares about Gordon Campbell.

Shirley, glad to hear you say that Gordon is your friend. BUT your "friend" did not listen to YOUR voters, he lied regarding the HST. You knew it, everyone knew it, but you are still defending him!

I guess it shows if you are to make a stand on something it will be with a "powerful friend"....not with us "little" voters.

Funny how the story of how well Shirley is doing in Korea hits the press, shortly after her quote from Korea.

And all this highway and healthcare and blah, blah, blah....twinning of the bridges, blah, blah, blah...wasn't most or all of anything that did happen about 10 or 20 years too late? Our northern health has been the shambles, 4 lanes going into PG is not really something to be bragging about unless it was in the mid 80's. Go find your friend Gordon, Shirley, see you later.

Obviously I am in a minority on this page. As a life time advocate of free speach and common sense, I look forward to the HST vote next year as well as the next election in a few years. That is where the rubber will meet the road. Hoping everyone will get involved with the process, not just lip service.
