Canada's pitiful pension plan
I have just submitted my application for the pitiful pension supplied by the Government of Canada to its senior citizens.
The campaign is finished
This week the premier had another campaign event - I mean a government announcement of the incoming cabinet, which will presumably include her after the upcoming by-election. Most heads of government choose to announce their cabinet choices in the halls of parliament or the legislature, but not Premier Clark, she of the permanent campaign. Instead we were treated to a campaign rally at Canada Place, with each announced minister being used as a prop for at least one governing promise by the premier. Perhaps she is unaware of this, but the campaign is over and now it's time to attend to the sober work of governing; if someone could inform the premier of this, it would be most welcome.

Prime Minister needs to lead the cleanup
Once upon a time, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's statements of outrage against government waste and cronyism sounded more convincing. That time was when he and the Conservatives were in Opposition.

Business as usual after election
After 12 years in power, the Liberal party had become arrogant and detached from ordinary people. Give credit to Christy Clarke for putting a fresh face on an old sow. She was aided by the departure of so many cabinet ministers responsible for the harmonized sales tax, B.C. rail, stadium roof and other betrayals of the public trust.
New rules needed for candidates
I would just like to comment on the past provincial election. I was interested in voting for the Green Party candidate for Coquitlam-Maillardville, so I investigated.
