Christy Clark was by far better speaker but when it came to the issues and questions she dodged more than Dix...they both did but she had a lot more to dodge about as the Liberal record is abysmal.
Really????
Dave.....you have to be kidding me? How do they have much more to dodge and let me preface I am not a huge fan of Christy's but I know which party is going to keep this province digging out of the massive GLOBAL economic CRISIS that crippled half of this planet and continues to do so!!
Do you think if the NDP were at the helm we would have come through the massive economic meltdown in the way we did? Not a chance.
Do you know we weathered the storm pretty much better than any province?
You do understand that when people compare "debt levels" they look at a simple dollar value but fail to realize that the price of EVERYTHING has gone up which includes wages, cost of goods, cost of living, cost of fishing.......BUT.....taxes are in for a massive HIKE when you vote NDP.
It is a trickle out effect that nobody seems to realize.
Dixless said last night the same song and dance over and over and over and over when asked any question. Did you hear him account for where the dollars are going to come from aside from "check out our spending"?? He is betting people won't because it is the taxpayer who is going to be on the hook for all his improvements and mark my word.....LOTS of what he said was worded very, very carefully so he had recourse. I wish I could remember his exact wording on Kinder Morgan BUT it sure left the door open to put it through.
Mark my words......if they get in it will be a 1 term government IF it even makes it that long. Watch your taxes go cruising up......in all aspects of your life. Then....watch the trickle out effect of the disposable income people have to spend on fishing. (I only reference that due to the title of this thread).
As much as I am not a Christy fan, I am WAY happier keeping them in power and calling for a leader reform as opposed to letting Dixless take the helm for a sad, sad state of affairs.
If you are on the edge of voting Green OR NDP.......vote for Dixless.....please. Help the cause.
A change of government is not going to provide sweeping change.......and it's kind of sad that people think so. As in the other thread about the Greens and their fishing mandate I respect people's right to vote, choose their party based on educated opinions......and MORE than anything if they excercise their right to vote BASED on knowing who/what they are voting for.
The whole "its time for change" is a load of garbage as people look at things from SUCH a local level. People forget that due to massive global economic issues NO country or province was safe, it was all about mitigating the damage. Frick.....look at the US housing crisis......and look at it beyond just foreclosures of homes....look at the trickle out effect it caused. It is SO much bigger than just viewing things at face value based on a headline in a paper........and BC as a Province arguably weathered it pretty damn well!
Please, please.....look deeper beyond and really understand the issues, the finance behind them and the notable sweeping change that is coming with the NDP. Only good thing is.....their sweeping change of running gov't will last barely 4 years at tops and they'll be done; mind you the damage WILL be done.
