Liberals reap discontent in Delta South
Vaughan Palmer gets around to last week’s protest, and reruns bits from the Delta Optimist as well as the last provincial election there which Vicki Huntington nearly won. In fact the Liberals got elected in this seat on a minority vote. Which in a fair system would mean they lost.
He also manages to tie it to more than the power lines, which means he is at least more perceptive than his colleagues on the other CanWest paper that publishes on Sunday.
I rather wish he had spent as bit more time on the substantive issues. There is a lot more at stake here than a seat in provincial leg. But then that is his beat, so I suppose the fact that it gets raised at all in an opinion piece in what has been the BC Liberal’s mouthpiece news monopoly is something worth noting.
I have noticed of late, the ‘Asper Press’ has been somewhat more critical of Mr. Campbell and his follies. Nothing major, but two recent ‘on-line’ polls which I have done (one from Ipsos Reid and the other from CANWEST) seem to suggest that CANWEST/Global is feeling some pinch, somewhere. Their trivial lawsuits for libel and slander, seem to tell me that not all is well with the media empire.
