Alan Clarke - Independent

[Gaetane Daigle]

In response to the Joe Rich Forum, as a concerned citizen of this province and of the Kelowna- Lake Country riding, I attended the forum and
my observations of all the candidate's response on the questions asked by the public, the only candidate that responded with knowledge and experience on the subjects, was indeed Alan Clarke. More people should pay attention to what Alan Clarke has to say because he knows what he is talking about. He has me convinced of his abilities to represent this riding in Victoria. We need someone with a backbone and that can stand up to whoever the elected leader is going to be. Alan Clarke has the Drive, Knowledge, Experience, Common sense, Compassion, Accountability, Balance and Hard Work Ethics. "IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE"

Gaetane, you should probably also have mentioned that you are Alan's Official Agent and Campaign Manager.

Just a small correction, I am not Alam Clarke's Official Agent nor Campaign Manager, I am his " Financial Agent "

[Mr Danksworth]

You aren't doing your candidate any favors with your babble.

In addition there are investigations under way into insider trading related to fish farm license approvals, as well as investigations into the underhanded and shady dealings related both to the sale of BC rail and dismantling of BC Hydro (two Crown Corporations Gordon Campbell promised not to mess with), and the leaking of sensitive and personal medical information to an American company. What is going to be really great is when the police do their sweep and ultimately arrest over half the legislature (all elected Liberals) and take them away in handcuffs. Kinda like the Quebec arrests of the Hell's Angels except it will be our own criminal politicians in suits. What a rude wake up for the sheeple electorate in this province that day will be.

I wish I had photos of your Party's last 2 elected Premiers being chased out of Office!!!

FYI, in the past, reputable candidates have avoided posting on other candidate's forums.

[Matthew Reed]

I have nothing bad to say about any platform provides true facts. Al's being one of them so far.

I am not aware of free speech laws being repealed, however I am sorry that I have offended you and your views.

Peace,

No, you haven't offended, and you haven't broken any free speech laws. I was just mentioning that candidates have respectfully avoided posts on other candidates forum threads.

As Alan Clarke's Financial Agent, I would like to say Thank You for all the supportive phone calls, emails and faxes received since the beginning of this Campaign.
I hope everybody respects this forum and all the candidates running in this Election 2009.

God help us, but I believe even God could not look forward to four years of this pain in the a...
ankle. The man is always at odds with someone and only a stones throw away from trouble.
He has an attitude problem and I would rather see the seat vacant than have him represent us.
This nomination is a good one though we have a number of people in this riding trying to get elected and at least we are not spreading the possibility of poor representation around to other
parts of the province.

I do know Al Clarke, and have for some time. That is why I made the comments I did. This candidate does not lend himself to being constructive in matters involving government.
His combative nature does not lend itself to representing the majority of the citizens of the riding.

Hmmn,

Seems to me the judgement by M. Beames said that the "Stop Work Order" was too broad to grant the injunction as she seemed to have concerns that a breach of the order would carry serious consequences and that somehow Clarke's kids riding their bicycles may constitute a breach.

No where in there did she say that the ALC was wrong or out of their jurisdiction.

Therefore, I would ask - why on earth would you want to vote for someone who is not going to follow the laws as set out for the rest of us?

Is there really two different sets of laws? :trippyquoter: Reminds me of of the book "Animal Farm".

[Lady tehMa]

I am somewhat disappointed not to have heard from the candidate himself. I was/am interested in his platform, though I have to admit I am turned off by some of his more rabid followers. This does influence how I vote, and possibly how others lurking on the forum may vote (though of course, I could not say for sure).

[grumpydigger]

The point I think some people are trying to make is that Mr Clark has a lot of baggage that has piled up over the years . people that have lived in north glenmore no all to well the conflicts that have happened............lf Mr Clark wants to go into government and public life he better be prepared to answer to them..............

[damngrumpy]

A forum page is not supposed to be a love in, it is for debate and an expression of opinions.
This is a political campaign and you need a pretty thick skin to play the game in BC and remember
the game is the game, and it will continue long after any of us are alive to participate.
I am not saying Al is the boogie man, I do point out he is not the most diplomatic person to elect
to represent a broad spectrum of the general public. In that light I could not support his election
to represent me in the provincial parliament.

I just returned from the forum regarding social justice issues this evening.

I found Alan's responses to be quite interesting and entertaining - in a MAD TV sort of way. Half the things that were coming out of his mouth made me question whether or not my ears were functioning properly. Perhaps I can count on somebody here to clarify a few things for me:

First, I admittedly am quite young and don't have much recollection of the 1980's. Was the Okanagan really a Utopia in which everybody was receiving adequate wages and there was no poverty, no crime, and no homelessness?

Secondly, is homelessness really a disease? I had always been under the assumption that is was the lack of having a home. :137:

Third, does name dropping actually count for anything, or is having neighbours who are well known in the community completely irrelevant to a person's candidacy?

That's a start, anyway.
