Show recap - September 25th


On our last show:


Mayor Dean came on the show and although he said the funding for the new bridge was "in the bag", the federal government denyed Victoria's request. The Mayor blamed that "toupee wearing Prime Minister" for not giving him the money and screamed, "You will all be sorry when I'm Premier" The mayor did assure the citizens of Victoria that although the funding did not come through, the plaque for the new bridge, with a picture of the mayor's face on it, has been completed and will be erected on schedule with or without a new bridge. The Mayors plan to get even with the federal government by having the citizens of victoria will pay for the whole thing

Tommy Carson joined us by phone and discussed attending the Green Party nomination of Elizabeth (or Lizzy as Tommy likes to call her) May last weekend. In spite of Tommy's assistance she won the nomination and is proud to be the Green Party candidate for Saanich and the Gulf Islands. That is until she loses badly again and will move to another riding for the next election. He had a good time with those "delusional environmentals" even though the bathroom was filthy and the buffett sucked so bad that Tommy never even stuffed food in his pocket to eat later. Tommy also let us in on a secret that he is in negotiations to become a spokesman for a new canned banana company. (Is there such thing as canned bananas)

Our last guest was Finance Minister Colin Hansen and he told us that most people are in favour of the new Harmonized Sales Tax and people opposed to it are "enemies of the government" and will be dealt with in due time. I asked him to explain why we sent five government beauracrats at a cost of $15,000 each to Europe to attend wine and beer festivals. Hansen said it was to improve B.C.'s image as he "explained" in this quote:

"The most popular tourist destinations are the UK and France and that is because they are encourage drinking. That's the only reason because there is nothing there but old buildings, boring countrysides and people with weird accents. The key to British Columbia's economic recovery is to show the world that we make the best wine and beer in the world and can outdrink any frenchman or gap toothed Brit"

Hansen says the United States recession was caused by their citizens inability to handle their liquor. "The world laughs at the U.S. because they are known for drinking Bud Light and making moonshine." He ended the interview by asking the citizens of British Columbia to stop worrying about the economy and let the "smart people" fix it
