Effort to recall BC Liberal MLA's gets underway

Fight HST released their list of 18 BC Liberal MLA's for recall.  The official Recall List is:

•Donna Barnett - Cariboo Chilcotin
•Ida Chong - Oak Bay Gordon Head

•Terry Lake - Kamloops North Thompson
•John Slater - Boundary Similkameen
•Marc Dalton - Maple Ridge Mission
•Colin Hansen - Vancouver Quilchena
•Bill Bennett - Kootenay East
•John Les - Chilliwack
•Bill Barisoff- Penticton
•Steve Thompson - Kelowna-Mission
•John Rustad - Nechako Lakes
•Ron Cantelon - Parksville Qualicum
•Eric Foster - Vernon Monashee
•Don McRae - Comox Valley
•Norm Letnick - Kelowna-Lake Country
•Jane Thornthwaite - North Vancouver-Seymour

•Joan McIntyre - West Vancouver Sea to Sky
•Ben Stewart - Kelowna Westside

The Premier also said - "This is actually a serious matter. ... This is not a reality television show,”. “This is about the future of people that are working in the forest industry or in mining. ... I think it’s getting more and more obvious to British Columbians that Mr. Vander Zalm’s agenda is to get attention for himself

The BC Liberals obviously forgot the cardinal rule when in a crisis - don't give freebies for people to come back at you

Terry Lake obviously acts more like a bully than a honourable gentleman.  Probably is also taking his lead from his "Boss" - Premier Gordon Campbell after he said about Chris Delaney - a bully and a petulant child. “As far as I’m concerned, he can get stuffed"


The comments from Campbell and Lake will ultimately serve to motivate further the public to recall MLA's like Donna Barnett and Terry Lake.  Campaigns can start November 15th but Fight HST has now said that they'll start January 1st, 2011 and I suspect that very vulnerable MLA's like Donna Barnett are finished, given their public love for Premier Campbell and the public is now waiting impatiently to cast their ballot to recall their local MLA

Time to bring in the BC Conservative Party as clearly the Liberals or the NDP have little ability to properly run the province with the peoples best interest in mind.
