Do you really WANT to make a difference?
I wrote to the Canadian Medical
Association to have Moira Stilwell - (the conniving deceitful Liberal candidate that conned her riding’s constituents into voting for her) – to have her doctor’s status REVOKED!
Did your Liberal MLA con you? Did they lie? Were they complicit in Campbell’s treachery?…. then find out what professional accreditation they hold and USED to convince the voter they had some sort of integrity and… write to that professional association and request that title be REMOVED under that association’s alleged ethics and standards of behavior. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Or…. shrug it off and be a sheeple. Need help finding out how to have these professional weasels held accountable?

Holding MLAs accountable
The following is a letter I have sent to the Canadian Medical Association - I encourage all voters that feel their MLA deceived them in the May 2009 provincial election to write to their professional associations and request they be removed from membership.

Dear Dr. Golbey:
I am writing this letter in the hopes that you can rectify a serious matter. Dr. Moira Stilwel is an elected MLA in our legislature. She is a doctor who ran for office under her medical banner – using self-promoting material emphasizing her connection with the medical community. This, of course, preyed upon the conceptions the general public has of doctors – and their moral and respectable character traits.
Well, as you may be aware, the “elected” government in British Columbia deceived and misled the voters prior, and right up to and after the May 2009 election. They, under Gordon Campbell, now have revealed themselves as deceivers – and Dr Stilwel is complicit in this. Complicit even to the point whereby she took a ministerial posting as a reward (not in the health care area of course). In any event, I would like for you to review her accreditation with the CMA and, upon discovering her disgrace to the moral and ethical values the CMA – the values I believe it promotes – suspend her credentials. I need not remind you that you are a senior member of a “self-governing” body – and the public depends upon that body for credibility and enforcement of ethical behavior on the part of its members.
Dr. Stilwel, in using her credentials in self-promotion (and still using them in her MLA profile), has caused the bar of respectability to be lowered for doctors in this country – and by being aware of the suffering the Provincial Liberal Party intended to inflict upon the middle; lower middle and lower classes of the population puts her in direct violation of numbers: 4; 7; and 9 of the CMA’s “Fundamental Responsibilities”, as well as her oath to “do no harm”.
I remain, respectfully yours,
William Ritchie

4 more years of Liberal tyranny
Well - voter apathy has ensured another 4 years of tyranny by the BC Liberal "party". Half the voters were so disgusted with the current system that they stayed away from the polls. I cannot say I blame them - but I was hoping they would at least have seized the STV option to make the system more accountable. Of course the Campbell government would have found a way to stall the implementation - but this makes it easier for the autocracy to continue.

Election BC 2009
Re: May 12th provincial election:
British Columbians in general – Vancouverites in particular - have one of those rare opportunities to effect the direction of their society. In a true Democracy Aristotle saw a need to: “remove gross economic injustices resulting from the blindness and greed of the ruling classes.” He left the fundamental message: “that the strength of the state has less to do with political machinery than with the moral sense of the society…”. Please, if you give it some thought, I believe you will see the pertinence to today’s British Columbia.
During the past few years under the Gordon Campbell autocracy a program of “social genocide” has been implemented (oligarchy at best as, realistically, there is no “team” with the current Liberal’ MLA structure). The “development” we have come to suffer under has whittled away at the social morality of BC. This “development” saw the destruction of “community” during the mid 80’s with Mr. Campbell as Mayor of Vancouver. Those same money/developer/supporter ties to him carried into the greater realm of provincial politics. Interior “communities” are crumbling as did the Vancouver ones 20 years earlier. The standard of living of thousands of middle-class, lower middle-class and poor citizens has steadily declined. The traditional mainstay resources have been sold to private and off-shore interests.
The price for “development” has fallen upon the common citizenry as a plague. The non-government mega-projects embarked upon have come at a great price. Environmentally, socially, economically – the burden has been carried by the many - the benefits have been to the few,. Locally, the Cambie street chaos and the False Creek “village” have and will continue to decimate the economies of present and future families and businesses – irreparably scarring the social flesh and the geography of our city. When the two week Olympic circus is over, the Canada Line, structurally unsound rinks and “compromise” construction projects will have proven to be nothing more than superfluous, underused and expensive monoliths. Such elite minority-beneficial projects – like the “circus” and “games” created by and for the egotistical Caesars of the Roman Empire – will be ugly reminders of a tyranny paid for by British Columbians.
The cuts to healthcare – the privatizing of hospital cleaning and dietary staff alone – have caused hundreds to die and thousands to suffer. True, the “budget balancing” was achieved – with the government successfully eliminating many of the biggest “users” of the system: the elderly and chronically ill – and with a bonus to Mr. Campbell’s supporters of driving living-wage middle-class workers into the ranks of the lower middle-class and the poor.
Examples of his abuse of the “public trough” can even be seen in the recent “raises” given to executives of government “corporations”. Mr. Campbell justified giving them out by noting that Ontario’s execs receive similar pay… but Mr. Campbell keeps silent on keeping the minimum wage on a par with Newfoundland!.
This note is just a small downplaying reminder of how things are – and you may be surprised to find out that I am not a 100% NDP supporter. But until STV electoral reform is passed I must select the NDP over the more thoughtful Green candidates. True, their leader is a disappointing variable, but the NDP will work as a “team” to overcome that – implementing a collective democratic rule. If you select an NDP candidate: accountable Riding representation will be put into effect again – as opposed to selecting a politically impotent Liberal candidate – a candidate destined, if elected, to be a submissive “yes” nod in the Gordon Campbell personal camp.
This note is authored exclusively by Bill Ritchie, a private citizen – and distributed as a reflective message during a rare window of opportunity – an opportunity for the citizens to exercise their right to have some semblance of input into who will rule over them with social-minded morality… or tyranny.
