Fencing Out The Rabble

LetThemEatSoftwood
LedgeVille


The BC LINO's* will get their ya-ya's out with their third Throne Speech in a year later today.

And despite Ms. Campagnolo's apparent fetish for the finery, Mr. Campbell has seen the light and is now using BushCo vernacular to fire-up the Whirlitzer.

"We're gonna talk about our long term objectives for British Columbia."

Like how were all gonna learn to speak faux-Texan to prepare us for the coming of the KinderMorgan-led "Invasion of The Haida Gwaii Rapers", perhaps?

Anyway, an interesting sidenote is the fact that the Ledge itself is behind a fence today.

More of the BushCo-type paranoid coralling of the huddled masses?

Will we soon get 'Free Speech Zones' tucked away behind the Beacon Hill Park Zoo where only the chickens and goats need be pestered with the bleating voices of an angry citizenry?

Never say never with this bunch.

Update
: This, from Public Eye poster Heaney, is likely the more innocent reason (or is that excuse?) for the fence: "
the fence has been there for every throne speech since the Clayoquot decision (in about 1994?) when protesters' successful attempts to storm the main door (only ever unlocked and used when the L-G enters the building) put a 60+ year old sgt-at-arms in the hospital."
btw: The linked post from Mr. Holman at PE is great news about the resignation of LINO partisan Louise Burgart from the provincial Electoral Boundary (ie. not to be confused with 'The Gerrymanderer') Commission.
