AAAAGGGGHHHHHH! I don't think there is a person who irks me more than Christy Clark... and, from someone with three exes, that it saying a lot.
The love fest that these two women publicly shared yesterday annoyed and irritated me to my very core. When Martin announced that it was time for a woman to be premier and that she felt Clark was the best candidate... my first questions were: is it because she offered you a job, were you too lazy to look at other options or did you just want Clark's bullying "Pick me! Pick me!" squawking to stop? Everything about this announcement was sexist towards women... coordinated outfits (seriously? did you call each other the night before?), lack of anything concrete in terms of a platform and a basically "C'mon, guys, you HAVE to give a girl a turn..." approach to politics.
Clark has ditched her husband - hello? Is someone thinking she has to distance herself from his BC Rail shenanigans, grab as much money as she can and dump that dead weight? But she is all for family values... as long as they don't interfere with her power hungry quest to destroy the province... but at least she'd be the first female premier... yay! for girls.... we already experienced Kimmy Campbell so I think we're good.
As someone who has become fairly good at weeding out those misrepresentations - uuummmm everyone is familiar with my last personal relationship - the red flags go up when I read her bio...
"Like her parents, Christy has an extensive record of community involvement and leadership for British Columbia’s families." But there is no list of what they are... maybe she means the per pupil funding policy she supported for public education? Because that was a HUGE success. It had to be a tremendous success since she sends her kid to private school.
"Christy studied at Simon Fraser University, the University of Edinburgh, and at the Université de la Sorbonne in Paris." Uuummm... what did she study? And where is her list of oh-so-impressive credentials? C'mon, we all love the little initials after our name and we all know that Christy loves to honk her own horn so what does an absence of credentials tell you?
Don't get me wrong... I did the happy dance when Gordo announced his departure but do we really want to fully hang ourselves as a province and let this power hungry education hating moron in? The only thing grosser would be the greasy rock star wannabe known as Kevin Falcon...
