In Maple Ridge today, Premier Christy Clark told listeners that binding arbitration in the BCTF/Government war of attrition would mean five cents more per litre on gasoline and an extra $200 on personal taxes. Not mentioned, but implied, was that Jim Iker would come around to residents' homes and take away whatever was in the sugar bowl and piggy banks.
Not disputing these statements, for we know that the Premier and her government are all honorable persons, the Centre for Meaningful Education has prepared a short test for Ms. Clark, Mr. Fassbender, and their followers.
One: Can you spell disingenuous? Can you define it? We know, five syllables, that's tough. Try the next one.
Fabrication: Can you handle, that is, can you give an example of this in practice? No? All right, on to the final question.
Spin: Only one syllable, and yes, we see all hands up. Excellent, BC government, you've passed again.
Oh, one more question for those who accept the government's position:
Gullible: Can you define gullible? No? We thought not.
