There is no
doubt in my mind, and I'm sure in the
mind of many, that the swinging of the
pendulum back and forth is controlled
by government and media, not the people.
Glen Robbins Surveys clearly show that
government is not in sync with the populace.

Commentary:
Premier Campbell and the
BC Liberals are beginning to look like
Corporate Raiders of the 1980’s.
British Columbians are not happy with
the government selling its Assets. The
Coquihalla sale (lease) is the straw that
has broken the proverbial camels back
in the interior of the province.
The BC Liberals should
reconsider this ‘transplant’
in the so-called heartland, because it
is going to hurt them in 2005.
MLA Rick Thorpe has
done much to help the BC Liberals, and
his riding reveals the highest BC Liberal
support. However along with the Deputy
Speaker John Weisbeck declaring their
intention to retire, and the political
suicide the BC Liberals are committing
with the Coquihalla debacle (particularly
when Olympic support up here is nothing
to right home about), Reform BC and the
NDP have shots at these seats in 2005
Sincerely,
Glen P. Robbins
