Clark could lose – you read it here first

Posted on July 6, 2013 by Trevor

Appeared in the North Shore News – June 21, 2013 BLOATED with vanity for having shocked millions with my accurate May 14 election soothsaying, I now recklessly sooth more: Premier Christy Clark will be humiliated by a very narrow win – grab a long-odds bet that she will actually lose – the July 10 Westside-Kelowna…

Senior service given short shrift in Clark cabinet considerations

Posted on July 3, 2013 by Trevor

Sultan is a politely independent gent not cut out to be among the cringing court flatterers who populate the Canadian party system   Appeared in Business in Vancouver – June 18, 2013 Smiley-face Christy Clark kilted up in her Lady Macbeth mode and plunged her dagger into two honest cabinet members who dared cross her….

Minister Sultan part of election victory

Posted on July 3, 2013July 3, 2013 by Trevor

Appeared in the North Shore News – June 7, 2013 I predict backwards as well as forwards. So stand by for a prophecy for the past. I predict that Ralph Sultan played a much bigger role in the B.C. Liberals’ election victory May 14 than he’s been given credit for. And this is not just…

Media sheep never ventured from the pond

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Trevor

Appeared in the North Shore News – May 24, 2013 It appears to be impossible to avoid attending inquest after inquest into the Great 2013 British Columbia Election. But of course I continue to disagree with the so-called experts. Because, though they have tried to regain their shaken composure from their exploded prognostications with artful…

Christy Clark’s victorious drive up Main Street, B.C.

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Trevor

Appeared in Business in Vancouver – May 21, 2013 On May 14, in plain sight of millions of witnesses, Christy Clark drove through a stoplight. The symbolic stoplight of her political career. The red light that was supposed to stop dead Clark’s bouncy, smiley-face premiership, mirroring her real-life drive through a light at 5:15 a.m….

Cummins’ leadership hurt by departures

Posted on October 19, 2012October 19, 2012 by Trevor

Appeared in the North Shore News – September 28, 2012 YOU read it here second: Liberal Premier Christy Clark will still be premier when she wakes up on May 15, 2013 – the day after the provincial election. I say “second” because I first published what many will say is a laughable prediction in another…

Forget exposure, Clark may need armour

Posted on October 22, 2011 by Trevor

FACE it, Liberals. Christy Clark’s election campaign is bombing. Large Appeared in the North Shore News – October 14, 2011 The former talk-show host is governing like a former talkshow host. And dresses like a siren? A V-neck vamp? Blogger and former North Vancouver New Democrat MLA David Schreck’s claim that Clark showed improper “cleavage”…

Fast times in B.C.’s three-ring legislature

Posted on November 28, 2010 by Trevor

Appeared in North Shore News – November 26, 2010 Inspired by Bill Bennett’s candour, I confess the words under the photo of the handsome dog at right are false. “This Just In” — ha. British Columbia politics are moving with such Biblical speed that this screed could be leapfrogged by events 15 minutes after it’s…

Justice muted by Basi/Virk settlement

Posted on November 24, 2010December 20, 2010 by Trevor

Appeared in North Shore News – October 29, 2010 Gordon Campbell offered realignment this week. Better you should go to Canadian Tire, Carter Chevrolet etc. They know about realignment. With the wheels falling off his government, tires flat and the gas gauge showing empty, the premier faces the prospect that British Columbians will trade in…

Kitchen oracle speaks economic truth

Posted on September 18, 2010 by Trevor

Appeared in North Shore News – September 17, 2010 Let’s get serious. Our family grocery bill for August was $1,091.25. And yours? My wife was shocked when she added up the figures. We have never budgeted. I always considered budgeting beneath the dignity of West Vancouver residents. Little levity there. But I genuinely can’t figure…
