House Keeping In Province House With NDP.
Video by Wayne Coady
Well after listening to Premier elect Darrell Dexter state over and over to the media that he is not going to be beholding to CUPE or the NSGEU, look what he has done.
Two of Darrell's transition team are Robert Chisholm Regional Director CUPE and Ray Larkin legal council for the Nova Scotia Government Employees Union. Larkin is also well known for being associated with the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour.
So was that a slip up by Darrell or a little white lie? Nevertheless this proves to me that the NDP are every bit as slippery as the other two parties and Nova Scotians are going to be screwed in the same fashion , just by a different political party.
Wayne would like you to read this letter he received from the NSGEU and the Workers Compensation Board's legal council accusing him of owning a web site that he did not. This is just one more form of intimidation used to try and silence injured workers.(Letter Link)

SINCE DARRYL DEXTER'S WIN, PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS HAVE BEEN BURNING PAPERS AND RECORDS IN ADVANCE OF THE FORENSIC AUDIT OF THE PROVINCE'S ACCOUNTS PROMISED BY THE NDP.
It looks like the NDP have started more than an orange wave across Nova Scotia, it appears they have started a few fires, too. One of the biggest problems the NDP now will have since they hold the majority of power in the Legislature,and they do not need to be propped up by one of the other parties...they will have to put up or shut up.
Dexter and his "team" promised to revisit the Freedom of Information Legislation and lower the fees. He made it known to injured workers in Nova Scotia that he will take a serious look at how the Workers Compensation Board has been operating. So, let's see if the NDP will have the WCB investigated for the way they abuse their power, keeping in mind that this agency is unionized by the NSGEU and they financed Dexter's bid for the leadership of the NDP. So how much slack will the NSGEU give Dexter on this ?
Time for change...Time to put up or shut up Darrell and we will be watching you all they way to the next election.

Nova Scotia New Democratics
...have a love in with "government" unions
(click on picture )
Hawkeyenews questioned voters at several polling stations and we learned that many voters are saying this is their last time going to the ballot box. They are not sure an NDP government is the answer... but feel the need to test them out just to see if they are different than the other parties.
Voters we spoke with said it will be interesting to see if the NDP open up the "Freedom of Information Act" and get rid of that nasty fee. They were wanting to see if the NDP really were able to fix the health care system and control the public sector wages.
The owner of this sign feels that the NDP are to cozy with the NSGEU to fix the corrupt, abusive and unionized Nova Scotia Workers Compensation Board. After all he said the WCB is NSGEU unionized. He feels the NDP will be to beholding to the NSGEU and CUPE to give any kind of good government. In the end the NDP are union run and the Liberals and Progressive Conservative Party are run by the business community ...we little people will once again have NO VOICE in the provincial legislature. But we will still get to pay their big wages and perks.

John Risley ...
...he keeps coming back to the pockets of the taxpayers ? How does he do it?
Well we are learning that it is not who he is...but what he has that empowers him to keep picking the pockets of the taxpayers of Nova Scotia.
Well we are learning that it is not who he is...but what he has that empowers him to keep picking the pockets of the taxpayers of Nova Scotia.Rumour is circulating that a black book of secrete information was turned over to John Risley just before his father passed away. You see we are getting feedback, that Risley senior during his years as a most senior Progressive Conservative Party member collected and documented some pretty damming information on fellow party members, who were cashing in when the party was in power. You know getting easy access to taxpayers money.
We will have more on this secrete black book, that seems to give Risley Jr quite a free hand when it comes to reaching into the coffers of the taxpayers of Nova Scotia.
And all the while, we are told, "government has no money for services ...really !! But yet "government" has money to feed the pigs.
The Following clip is from the Chronicle Herald ...we will be posting the PDF of the story soon, but in the mean time here the link . ( RISLEY )

Nova Scotia ...
VOTES 2009 !
For sure, the CONservatives in Nova Scotia have been spendthrift and favored their political friends … so, the NDP or the Liberals will be better in government, won’t they?
***
The fact of the matter is, there is NO difference between any of the parties and the politicians. The REAL people we all should be going after are the Deputy Ministers and bureaucrats who wield the real power. The politicians some of you elect (many won't vote anymore, they conclude it's pointless) really don't have ANY power. Politicians are simply salesmen. This is why political parties pick those people who are high profile types.
Their job is to act as the buffer between the bureaucrats and the public ... they take the heat for at least four years and are well paid to do that. Then, they get good pensions or are further rewarded with cushy jobs on the boards of recipient corporations or Senate positions. There are NO party differences. Politicians are like hockey players ... if they can't make it on one team, they simply change sweaters and go on another team. Bob Rae was NDP, now he's "Liberal". Jean Charest used to be a Progressive CONservative, now, he's a Liberal. Ujjal Dosanjh used to be NDP until the Liberals needed a higher profile candidate to go after the East Indian vote bloc in B.C.
I'm sure you can think of dozens more who have switched or crossed the floor after they were elected.
Parties , and party loyalty don't mean spit. It all boils down to politicians, looking out for themselves, and recognizing where their grass might be greener. In the meantime, the important thing to all of these people is that THEY get those BIG salaries, BIG pensions and all of the other perks they expect as THEIR entitlements ( remember Dave Dingwall) .... ALL AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERY WORKING MAN AND WOMAN IN THIS PROVINCE AND THIS COUNTRY.
Those voters stunned enough to believe that one party is better than the other is exactly where the party people want them to be. What bothers all of the politicians, and makes them get on radio and TV to tell us that we live in a "democracy", is when the common people finally figure it out … and realize they are getting screwed by all politicians of all parties.
Politicians today are party people first. Their loyalty to the party is paramount, especially, from the party’s perspective. Stephen Harper’s CONservatives are an extreme example of this attitude, but, history again, has recorded this is prevalent in other parties as well.
The major political parties in Canada have, historically been the Liberals and CONservatives (old Progressive Conservatives) and, to a lesser degree, the New Democratic Party. Today there is an entrenched and growing perception among many potential voters that they have been abandoned and disdained by all politicians and their parties who are more interested in the MONEY and perks and pensions than they are in doing the work of governance. The consequence of this cynicism on the part of governments is a decline in the numbers of those who actually vote.
In Nova Scotia ,you can count on your fingers how many days
the House of Assembly sat to discuss this province’s business.You would have fingers left over.
DIFFERENCES
If there were any real differences between political parties, one could, perhaps, believe that one party was superior to another.
The reality, borne out by history, indicates there is NO way of differentiating between any of the parties running for election in Nova Scotia, or, for that matter, in Canada.
