--Interesting and may indicate something but maybe not... often the statement on line will indicate that it is not the official version and that the official written version is available.
--I don't know if the word count issue is common practice in court documents, however I do know that the limits are strictly adhered to.
--I would only be suspicious if the word count rules are not standard practice for court documents.
--The web site could just be a clarification rather than a fabrication.
--I am certain that for court of appeals applications the word count is strictly enforced and if more words are used they must have a justification that will be ruled on an if rejected the appeal has to be rewritten withing the allowable.

--Thus I would only be upset if the rules for counting words used by elections BC have been changed as suggested or are different from common practice used by the courts of BC.

I appreciate your input, skaha.

Just because someone posts something on the internet doesn't necessarily mean that it is true. It's important to be aware that everybody has an agenda and they will post whatever they feel will further that agenda.

However it tends to be much more intriguing when the post includes a conspiracy....

Wow, if Campbell is such an irresponsible Premier, then Canada is sure in a lot of trouble.....    

VANCOUVER, B.C.—British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell ranks as the best of 10 provincial premiers at managing key aspects of fiscal policy including government spending, taxes, and debt and deficits, according to a new peer-reviewed study released today by the Fraser Institute, Canada’s leading public policy think-tank.

The study, Measuring the Fiscal Performance of Canada’s Premiers, ranks Campbell first overall with a score of 89.1 out of a possible 100. Former Manitoba premier Gary Doer ranked second with a score of 78.2. Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams scored 71.0 and ranked third. Premiers Ed Stelmach of Alberta (66.4) and Brad Wall of Saskatchewan (57.9) followed in fourth and fifth positions respectively, giving Western Canadian premiers four of the top five spots in the overall rankings............

Here is an example of how people get so wrapped up in listening to the left wing and the press that they stop seeing reality.....

The Fraser Institute is reality???....

Watch this  http://vimeo.com/16944794   (long, about 30 minutes)  wherein is explains how Campbell's policies are likely to bankrupt BC Hydro.  It raises a big question about whose interest the Fraser Institute represents.

I find your comments amusing about how the Fraser Institute is a right wing organization. jimmywits buddies personality probably changed for the better because he finally saw the truth...  

A report like this would never be created if a left wing organization was asked to write it. This is because most left wing organizations haven't a clue on how to balance a budget and often question why a budget is even necessary...  If you actually read the article you would see that all 10 premiers were measured using the same economic measuring stick and Campbell came out head and shoulders above any other premier in terms of his ability to manage the BC economy. The point being that comparing BC to the other provinces, we have been fortunate enough to have the best manager over the last number of years.

It is a fact that publicly (government) owned and managed businesses do not run efficiently when compared to private businesses. The reason is simple. Government businesses have no incentive to earn a profit, in fact if they show a loss they know that government will throw in more money. Private business on the other hand is fighting for survival. In order to grow their business they need to be well run and profitable. If they don't manage their business well they go bankrupt. Why do you think the potash and uranium companies in Saskatchewan were privatized?

Perhaps privatizing BC Hydro would be the best thing for them!  I have a friend who knows a supervisor at the BC Hydro yard in Surrey. Any time he needs some type of building supply, tool etc. he asks the supervisor and a few days later it is delivered to his door.... no charge. Apparently there are no controls on materials at BC Hydro. Can you imagine the huge cost to us the taxpayers as a result. There is no way a private enterprise would allow that kind of thing to happen!

"I have a friend who knows a supervisor" Second hand hearsay. Report the "friend" if he's involved in theft. What kind of people do you hang with AF? Oh, yeah - The Fraser Institute.......

So I guess your in favor of privatized health care too. I worked for a very reputible privatly owned logging equiptment manufacturing company and we all got stuff done or parts its not just public run ventures.

Yup!  Let people who can afford it, buy it if they want. It would take some pressure off the public funded system....

He definitely did not change for the better, it was almost like he had been brainwashed, he is negative about everything. Also, it is no great feat for Campbell to come out on top of the likes of his predecessors, especially Glen Clarke.

You really should read the article.....    

If you read it you'll see that it didn't evaluate Clarke. It compared Campbell to the other 9 provincial premiers.....

The source has issues with bias and has been caught more than a few times omitting certain facts that didn't suit it's agenda.Speaking of facts AF - Did you ever get around to disproving what I posted or was I telling fibs as you inferred?
