    BC, wake up!

    pale compels you and I to do the right thing, as usual. I know I'm a lazy bugger, and need this sort of call to arms. I'll join the chorus, and demand you readers to do the same. I've already posted on this, but again I return to the province of BC, and specifically about Bill 42, which the BC Liberals are fastracking, without debate, on May 29th, at 5pm. This is a craven, low attack on grassroots democracy. It on the one hand effectively silences the BC Liberals fierest opposition, the unions, and on the other disenfranchises many of the supporters of the NDP, in other words, the poor. It's a law that clearly demonstrates Campbell and company's true colours: thin-skinned, cheque-book thumping capitalists, who damn the consequences of their actions in the name of their friends' businesses, and in this case, their own asses, as in the past decade, only the unions have been consistently able to embarrass Campbell and his cronies, much to the latters' impotent fury. Anyway, pale's provided a link to UFCW's Just Shut BC webpage, which has a petition and further information on this damnable piece of legislation. And the Tyee has a new report where Oppal makes himself look foolish.
