The BC Liars Plan
Posted on November 2, 2012 by Ian
That’s what the BC Liberal jobs initiative should be called.
‘BC leads Canada in job creation. I have the privilege of knowing that because it’s the number one ‘fact’ on the BC Jobs Plan facts page.
The Premier, like a wind up doll, repeats that ‘fact’ every two or three minutes. She follows it with another ‘fact’; ‘BC created 57,000 jobs last year’, to lead the country in job creation.
Except we don’t and we didn’t. Lead the country in job creation and create 57,000 jobs, that is.
It’s a bald face lie.
According to the latest Stats Canada report, BC was about sixth best in the country, behind Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and just about the same as Ontario (on a per capita basis).
On the bright side we are doing better than PEI.
Year over year job growth in BC was 1.3% or about 30,000 jobs. It’s a mediocre record in a mediocre year in Canada for job creation.
When it comes to creating full time jobs, BC falls even further behind other provinces.
So all the advertising? Pretty much lies and *bleep*. Come to think about it wouldn’t that be a fantastically apt BC Liberal campaign slogan?

Clark not keen on discussing dismissal of chief of staff
VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

Premier Christy Clark continues to face questions about the recent firing of her former Chief of Staff Ken Boessenkool.
Much like she did last week, Clark refused to explain exactly why there's no formal paperwork on the decision.
The Vancouver Sun's Freedom of Information request turned up nothing.
This time, Globe and Mail reporter Ian Bailey was asking the question.
BAILEY: "Doesn't the absence of paper leave the government vulnerable to suit if there's no record to see how this decision was made?"
CLARK: "No. I don't think so, and I answered most of those questions last week already. Thank you, everybody."
Boessenkool's dismissal came after an incident involving a female staffer at a Victoria pub.
Lynda Tarras, the head of the BC Public Service Agency, was in charge of the investigation.
