Whaaaaaat? Were are all the “chicken littles” that are on here daily ranting that the sky is falling and we are doomed unless we elect an NDP govt next time?
Surely they can find SOME reason to criticize and vilify Christy Clarke and the Liberals because housing starts are nicely rising and the unemployment rate just dropped to a 5 year low.
After all, who wants a Premier and government who can create jobs and grow the economy…….surely not the historical naysayers on this site….so where are you?
Don’t let us down guys…we need a good laugh every day and you guys pretty much provide it.
