Liberal Lies

A sham, bordering on misconduct.
All in the name of being re-elected this Spring.

But Bob Johnston isn't fooled.

 "I guess we are all idiots if we do so..."

Bob Johnston                       

His letter to the editor is entitled "Math Questioned":

"Once again, there's another version of the truth from the Liberals in Victoria:  'We have cancelled the planned increase of four per cent for MSP for 2017 as these premiums are a hardship on families.  Thank you, thank you, vote for me.'

"...a four per cent increase

 to a whopping $141

 is way worse than paying

 a flat $150 a month."

 

"I guess we are all idiots if we do so, especially after we get our MSP bill and discover that we will now pay $150 for a two-person family.  Somehow a four per cent increase to a whopping $141 is way worse than paying a flat $150 a month."

"When it comes time to vote, would a four per cent increase equal fewer votes, while an 11 per cent increase will equal more votes, in the Liberals(sic) warped sense of humour?  I, on the other hand, think this will actually result, when added to all the other half-truths and lies, 44 per cent more votes for the NDP."

"The provincial Liberals have learned how to talk down to their constituents," Kia would've stated, "by copying bureaucrats."

...more likely the Liberals instructed their bureaucrats in the fine art.

Johnston's Jibe

And it's certainly a good one!

Entitled Water Rates, Bob Johnston's letter to the editor today appears to solve two problems at once:

"A few friends and I were discussing the water rates in our area when someone brought up how the province has given away water to Nestle's for a mere pittance.

We thought about a solution to the travesty and came up with the idea that the City of Vernon shold be in charge of selling water to Nestle's as the government would make a bazillion every year.

At the end of each year, there would be a surcharge to cover infrastructure (of course we all know what that $5 word means:  "because we can"), as well, a double-the-inflation charge etc.

In no time, the coffers would be stuffed with tons of dough.  With all of this extra money laying about, schools wouldn't have to close, teachers wouldn't be laid off and, most importantly, we'd not have to listen to Peter Fassbender.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, aren't they?"

"A superb example of multi-tasking if you ask me," offers Kia.

Rare that people can maintain a sense of humour with residents' burgeoning water costs. 

Glad you have, Bob Johnston.
