BC Libs let big oil write climate plan

[Cactusflower]

Even the pro-BC Liberal news outlet, our very own Castanet published an edited version of the Canadian Press article on big oil's influence on the BC Liberal climate plan. When are you going to see stop defending the indefensible? The least you could do is stop using insults in your anti-NDP comments.

Full points for irony. Maybe you could use some of those crying towels you stocked up on yesterday. Ignore the inconvenient truth, that the only reason we ended up in court was the BCTF got to do a whole lot more than "influence" Glen Clark's NDP? Gee, no thanks. I'll leave it to you to presume whatever you wish about CAPP's level of influence while you continue on defending the indefensible. So, knock yourself out blowing CAPP's involvement all out of proportion, and insult everyone who doesn't nod along with your faux outrage by calling them "cheerleaders", if you must, and then whine about feeling insulted. Whatever. It's not going to come as any surprise you'll continue to do what you so enjoy accusing others of doing.

What I do find worthy of outrage is the ongoing waste of resources dedicated to fighting climate change. There's a conversation worth having. Now that the NDGreen get to write the Climate Action Plan, I'm betting we're going to see a whole lot more waste.

Doesn't surprise me at all.

its crystal clear the bclib enablers dont care about how corrupt their party was . and that in the end will be the reason they lose next election. when all the misdeeds of clark and company are exposed mixed with ineptmess of fire fighting preparedness and the lawsuits that will arise from that fiasco coupled with the mtpolly bribes things are not lokking very rosey for the bclibs

MJ - given the lack of fact based thinking about climate and the long term challenges by NDP touts, it would be better to have Bozo the clown write a climate plan than the NDP.

There is too much crud out there funded by the Tides Foundation to have an honest and fact based discussion.

100% correct.

Why the past tense, mj.? Just because they lost the last election doesn't mean they are any less corrupt now. Being in opposition only means that they're no longer able to drive B.C. any further into debt.........and that's a big plus for all of us, even the BC Liberal Fan Club. Too bad they don't know it.

Correction: The BC Liberals won the last election as Andrew Weaver reminded everyone the other day. Now back on topic.

If you are talking about the NDP, I agree 100%.

Let's hope you take your own advice.

not sure what this means. The NDP lost the election. It's called "math".

I've never denied that our political parties are not perfect. It's just that I'm aware that some are less perfect than others. That's something that you refuse to admit. And just to stay on topic, how much more proof do you need that the big multinational oil and gas companies unduly influenced the BC Liberals when they wrote the climate plan.

They have been influencing the BC Liberals ever since CAPP's famous fundraisers.
