Campbell's carrot thrown on the dump


















"The British Columbia government says it will suspend a planned further 15-per-cent reduction in personal income tax rates for the first $72,000 of personal income."

Apparently the decision was made "by Cabinet". I don't think I remember the last time a decision was reversed "by Cabinet" that had already been announced by the Premier.

Gordo seems to be out of it, while still occupying the Premier's office.

It's no wonder the public is bewildered. The HST demon is still in office, while his compensatory carrot has been kicked out of the window.

Furthermore, few people understand Gordo's last-minute redesign of the Government so that it can approve corporate resource extraction more quickly. Nobody except Mr. Campbell and the corporate friends for which he acts as errand-boy wants such a reorganisation or facilitation.

Clearly, Gordo was running the Government out of his back pocket. That's why he has to go: immediately.
