Yes still laughing. You have enough political sense and business sense to know that the growth in debt reletive to the era shows he was, if nothing else, very responsable financially and that's my only point. Keep in mind infrastructure developments etc. It's not just a decade to decade comparrison. I'm not on his Kool laid but I'm overall comfortable with the job he's done and the state of our province. Not everything is perfect but it never will be. You voted for him... what were the reasons why? Could someone else of done better for less?
I never have and never would have voted for Campbell. I have a friend that worked within his sphere and warned me about pathological liars and that was the peg he nailed Campbell on. You see Gord, I saw first hand the heartless and gutless cuts to the poorest. A senior's residence I do work in had funding cuts that took money from those existing on little money. These folks had to chose between eating or increased living costs. I do volunteer work with youth in at high risk situations. You need to hear some of the horror stories of the homes they came from and the courage they exhibited to try and rise above that. 50% cut in funding. That equals some being left out on the street and most ended up in trouble again. I don't measure "success" by having a few more dollars in my wallet and believe that as a society we have a responsibility to help those that can't help themselves. Think about the couples with decades of marriage being seperated for a tax cut. That's what grinds my gears.
BUT
What really disgusts me is the way his political donors just happened to profit the most from his party being in power- Do you want to see that in black and white? If so, I can dig it up.It's there and stinks like a dead chum. The selling off of public assets was wrong. The lies , and yes lots of lies to facilitate the sale of BC Rail. How about those sweetheart deals for overpriced "green power"? My Hydro bill is increasing 33% because of the subsidy that Campbell gave them. The constant stream of lies and there;s a ton I can show you are a watermark on his ability to govern.
Do you think ANY politician should get away with a stream of never end BS and get away with it?
495 million maximum- Well, now that we're elected....Hansen knew it was a lie, but did sweet boom all to tell the truth., sorry it's going to be way higher. The recent desperate tax cut (what tax cut?) and wasting 200,000 or so to try and cling to power was pathetic at best. It might have been funny, but it wasn't. What I want for BC is an honest and forthright political party that goes down the middle of the road, not stepping on those that can't do anything about it. And puts
HONESTY as their platform I nor you should put up with liars, yesmen and scumbuckets running our affairs. The Liberal house of cards got hit with a gust of wind.
Tell me how you feel about the honesty of our present government. Do you think they've been forthright with the electorate? How do you feel about the Basi - Virk payoff with all the cuts to legal aid, these guys skate , keep their properties and they get 6 million in legal fees forgiven. Don't you get a whiff of that chum again? How about the lobbyist registry? Assistant Ministers leaving the energy portfolio and jumping right into jobs with energy companies? Despite guidelines that say otherwise? The tree farm licence being converted to real estate? That might be a spring carcass you smell.
Do you want me to continue with this? I can show you lots of facts that are on the public record of other rotten fish odours, emanating from Campbell's rein.
Still laughing?
BTW - Thank you for responding and not doing the drive by smear.
