John McComb: We’re talking with Keith Baldrey from Global BC. He’s at the Ledge in Victoria……Keith, the other issue that was on the table today with Blair Lekstrom is the two cent a litre increase in the gas tax. And again, Monday the Premier was out and, at least as far as I was concerned, left no doubt that she was opposed to this thing, and she’s given the mayors, uhhh, told to go back and find something else, that it was bad for families. And then today Lekstrom was out saying, ‘Oh no we’re all on the same page, I talked to her and everything’s fine.”
Keith Baldrey: Funnily enough, I just got of the phone with Premier Christy Clark, ’cause I tweeted earlier that I was coming on your show and I got contacted by the Premier’s office and was asked ‘Is there anything you’d like to know?’ I said, ‘Well, I’d like to talk to the Premier just to sort this mess out.’
And then the good Mr. Baldrey did just that.
Tried to sort the mess out for his friendly insider access enabler, I mean.
So.
I guess that pretty much clinches it.
Because clearly Ms. Clark has all kinds of time to drop everything and respond to Tweets from media friendlies, but has no time to debate opponents during elections or the leader of the Opposition about the most pressing public issue of the moment for all British Columbians.
Sheesh.
