Re: Did big media buy B.C. election? (Letters, May 24).
My, my, Wayne Clark is a touch testy now that his NDP has been defeated.
His conspiracy theories now include “big media,” which includes the local News. It has “deceived and brainwashed” the unsuspecting yokels. Curiously, this “right wing rag” published all his left-wing (left of centre, indeed) rants. His attempted education of the masses didn’t catch on.
Maybe, to his surprise, most voters can actually think for themselves.
Mr. Clark’s quote regarding Tom Fletcher could be paraphrased to describe himself: All we have to do to know your position on any subject is just imagine the most extreme ultra left-wing position.
Also, I do believe if the NDP had been elected, electoral reform would have been a non-issue.

Bitter ramblings

The bitter and semi-coherent ramblings of Wayne Clark confirm what is becoming increasingly obvious to even the most casual observer: the left only believes in democracy when they win.
When they lose, as they so often do, they delude themselves into believing it is only because the voters are too dumb and gullible to get it right.
