It’s Joe vs Alice in Richmond

Share (Sorry for not updating. Am going to HK for a month… so much to finish before I take my annual holiday.) Anyway, this’s just in: Mason Loh loses his nomination bid in Richmond (see previous story). Joe Peschisolido gets it. Raymond Chan loses out in first round… rumour is that his ballots are then [...]

Political ‘show-hand’ poker

Share After two weeks of intense election-no-election drama in Ottawa, it’s obviously by now that we will not have a fall election. Ignatieff has shown he’s a gambler, and he has strategically changed the ecological environment in Ottawa. Now after years of being battered as being the lower hand, the Liberals are now completely on [...]

HK media face off Xinjiang officials

Share Interesting development to the alleged beaten up of HK reporters by Xinjiang paramilitary personnels today… high profile, long-term pro-CCP members of HK’s legislature and admin councils etc are speaking up against the Xinjiang gov with strong wordings (reported by Apple Daily, in Chinese). The only one who dare not to speak up for HK [...]

Lai Changxing: ‘I still don’t believe them’

Share CIV – Lai Changxing has broken silence since his ex-wife Tsang Ming Na returned to China a few months ago. He understands that Tsang has been treated well in China, Lai told OMNI TV. Asked if that would encourage him to negotiate a deal with China, Lai said “I still don’t believe them (Chinese [...]

Group sues Harper over 2008 election call

Share Isn’t this interesting? I just love the timing. Look forward to all the exciting drama in Ottawa!! More! More! Harper’s lawyers argue the PM has the right to call. Oh yes, if you go down to the word-by-words, of course you can always find something to justify anything. But it’s the PRINCIPLE behind the [...]

Campbell loses everything, but NDP gains nothing

Share OK, we all know that Gordon Campbell’s popularity is flushing down the drain. However, isn’t it even a bigger problem that the NDP is failing to capture any gains while the BC Conservatives picking up support? There was a caller to a Chinese phone-in radio show last week, saying he felt that Carole James [...]

Liberal parties federal and provincial

Share I have a thought today that if Ignatieff’s Liberals want to gain grounds in BC and Ontario, they have to make a clear case that they are NOT the same brand as Gordon Campbell’s BC Liberals and McGuinty’s Liberals. This is especially important among newer immigrants. In BC, it’s very common among new Chinese [...]

EI reform joke

Share Disgusted. Same old tactic over and over again. I’m soooo tired. Bring some creativity to Ottawa guys! EI reform itself doesn’t warrant an election. The Liberals MUST bring some fresh AND specific ideas on how they can do a better job on the economy, though Canadians who hate the Harper government can’t wait for [...]

I wanna be a corrupt official when I grow up…

Share Isn’t that sad? The mentality of the people has gone crazy to such an extent. No wonder Lai Changxing is still seen as a hero in his hometown Fujian. ——— 長大了想做貪官 – I want to be a greedy corrupt official when I grow up…. On September 1, all the Guangzhou city elementary and middle [...]

Three-head race in Liberal’s Richmond nomination

Three well-known names are fighting to represent the Grits to beat Conservative sitting MP Alice Wong in the next federal election. They are: former MPs Raymond Chan and Joe Peschisolido, and well-known lawyer and former chair of SUCCESS Mason [...]
