Tales From The Shelter – 54

We sit around and talk about things we need but Gordie Campbell took away from us. “Shirley” is elderly and needs orthotics as her arches are collapsing and her feet become very painful. That need was ripped from the books of the Ghost of Gordy Campbell Present and it will cost her $800 (with the special shoes and orthotics). She has to put it on her Visa and lord knows how long it will take to pay off because of the interest accumulated.

Cry Baby has lost her house, car, just about all belongings because she went back to school to get her degree, but didn’t realize a B.A. holds nothing today. She was expecting a high pay job so now has to find funding to get her Masters. Gook Luck!!!!

No one sees anything in sight from Christy Clarke. She’s simply “Gordy in Drag”.

As for the federal election, how could people be so uninformed? Jocko is working on creating her own business but thinks Stephen Harper is the best guy to vote for because he’s all for business. Excuse me? That would be for corporations, not small biz (which translates to 50 employees and under). As though Harper or the BC Liberals are interested in helping us poor folk! I’ve been banging my head trying to figure out why these kind of leaders are so interested in keeping the poor, poor. The only reason I can come up with is cheap labour and they know we don’t vote for them. But surely, there must be other reasons, musn’t there?

I’m waiting anxiously for April 17th when the BC NDP choose their new leader…hopefully John Horgan will sweep it away. And will BC vote for a kinder, more compassionate government? Let’s hope the Ghost of Gordy Campbell Future is put to rest. There’s going to be an awful lot of outfall to clean up.
