Frank Stanford's comment Tuesday May 21 2013

The phrase "Victoria and First People's Day" does not roll of the tongue particularly easily.  Is that a reason not to change the name of the holiday that Canadians mark late in May every year? 

Frank Stanford's comment Monday May 20 2013

Every once in a while you run into an example of bureaucracy run amok, and you don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Frank Stanford's comment Thursday May 16 2013

<p> Here, for what it&#39;s worth, is one theory that may account for the spectacular collapse of the New Democratic Party and the corresponding rise of Liberal fortunes in B-C.</p>

Frank Stanford's comment Wednesday May 15 2013

 

There were some brave words last night from the Mayor of Victoria, but I'm afraid they're going to turn out to be more words than substance.  Fact is it can't be good for the Capital Region to be without representation on the government side of the provincial Legislature.

I am not an advocate of compulsory voting. 

Frank Stanford's comment Monday May 13 2013

I find myself unimpressed by the oft repeated refrain from municipal politicians...who complain how tough it is to build and maintain civic infrastructures, when they receive only eight cents of every tax dollar collected in Canada.

Frank Stanford's comment Friday May 10, '13

The regional district board made the right decision this week, when it voted not to proceed with a by-law that would ban smoking in all parks, playgrounds, and beaches. 

Frank Stanford's comment Thursday May 9 2013

You know the Liberals have hit a nerve with Adrian Dix, based on his clumsy attempt to dismiss the attack.  Whether it'll be enough to bump Clark up and Dix down in voters' minds...this election actually could get really interesting at the last minute.

Frank Stanford's comment Wed May 8 2013

<p> So there was a fairly enthusiastic, if not mildly heated debate, around the office yesterday...on the question of how much attention to give a new BC Conservative election platform pledge to allow the sale of beer and wine in convenience stores,.</p>

Frank Stanford's comment Tuesday May 7 2013

Something just feels wrong, about the notion of drive through voting.
