Ambition! Go for it! Awesome!


Christopher Ian Bennett is awesome! He was the "communications strategist" and interim leader of the green party of BC. He's so totally green but also so totally Tory, that's why he's joining the BC Liberals.  That totally makes sense, like because he thinks Bjorn Lomborg rocks!   

"He's a Danish economist, and he's awesome (plus he's brilliant, so it's really hard to argue with his logic)."

Especially when you are so totally not in a position to do so. For sure!

That's the Bjorn Lomborg right wing and big business love to quote when they need "evidence" to deny global warming. Mr. Lomborg has been so thoroughly debunked by scientists around the world it's laughable to mention his work as proof of anything but ambition.

Ambition?  Mr. Bennett has it.  Integrity?  Way!

Even With Media Viagra Harper Only Wins Slightly Bigger Erection

1.36% more votes wins nets the Conservative Party 16% more seats.

Stephen Harper claims strengthened minority with 202000 Fewer votes than 2006

That spells erectoral reform.  We need STV or proportional representation,  Pick one any one other than first past the post.

When I actually looked at the numbers I was astonished that he only got that many more votes considering the positive media coverage.  So... Stevie just paid out roughly $1470 per new conservative voter so he could say "Mandate". 

This would be the "damage control" election because with all the bad news coming their way it was now or never.

Cheap at twice the price.
