October 16, 2003 Some folks still think: Public=BAD; Private=Good. No. Telus’s failure to provide customer satisfaction just proves the inefficiency of big utility companies when private industry takes over. But it seems BCers are thrilled to see our Crowns like BC Tel and BC Rail plundered by foreigners (multi-nationals) and BC Ferries just whisked off the gov books completely. The company

Latest Internal (inside Provincial Government) Rumour The most prevalent rumour which appeared after the Maui debacle is being recirculated with a twist. Not only is the rumoured girlfriend pregnant, but Gordo will be resigning because of it. Obviously there is more to this rumour than was spilled at the level I picked it up from, but you never know. What's the worst that could happen?

September 2, 2K3 Hi All, You may have been wondering what's up with Another Information Bulletin. If not, no matter. However, the thing is, I had a massive computer crash and lost my email distribution lists (among other things). Then I was pretty bummed. My system was down for nearly 2 weeks. Not long after I found out about these losses, I thought it might be a good opportunity for a
