It`s too bad the Liberals didn`t have any real competition except a bunch of whiney losers.

i wonder if he happened to bring along a copy of the bcndp’s constitution with him.

they seem difficult to come by, at least a current one that is.

For starters, perhaps the chief Lefty should have spoken with the president of Walter Energy as to why Wolverine shut down. The current or any government cannot make trees grow faster or manipulate the prices of natural resources.
Last year Alberta was ranked 3rd. in the world for the best place for resource investment and BC was 32 in the list. Perhaps Mr. Horgan should address this issue before he mouths off about the current government. If he wants to ever be relevant to the BC working man, he should support the Prosperity mine, and the Enbridge/Kinder Morgan pipeline projects.

It has been 13 years as the government for the Liberals, and counting, yet all their supporters can do is whine about the past and make snide remarks about the Opposition. To get elected that first time the Liberals promised to revolutionize the economy of BC by reducing corporate taxes, remember that? They failed, didn’t they? Our economy did not take off. They have been complaining about how poor it is ever since.

Now, surprise, surprise, there is to be a new revolution: LNG will save us all despite an imminent agreement between Russia and China to supply the largest market (China) that Christy was counting on with gas from Russia. I suppose history is about to repeat itself, failed again.

the bcliberals are more secretive than the bcndp, as they have not shown us a current constitution either.

I thought it said hogan…

good of you to try contractor, but those are both from 2007, the ndp’s updated 2009 i think.

neither is current. the bcliberals has changed significantly.

the bcndp one you link to is hidden on their site, not linked to or searchable via the site.

the bcliberal one you link to was posted by a journalist after getting a copy from source i am not even sure was a bcliberal.

Pretty simple, keep everything beyond Hope moving and the little ants working to support the lower mainland. The Parties that understand that, will always win the race.

Crusty Clark can pull off the LNG plants, She will leave her mark in BC History. Just Like Gordon did, turning this Province around. Remember in 1999, we were a have not province, thanks to NDP rule. Bill Bennett Got us Expo 86, His Old man was a tyrant, but got this province on track with building the infrastructure we still enjoy today.

What has the NDP done for our province, to leave a legacy?????

“infrastructure we still enjoy today”
sarcasm? :)
the wac bennett dam is too much dam for too little water.
the wac bennett bridge is the source of much frustration, every single day, many days one has to wait close to an hour and some days one must wait hours to cross it.
i call it the ‘okanagan parking bridge’ as opposed to ‘floating’.

Both the BC Liberals and the BC NDP simply represent different ‘methods’ of approach to a virtually identical ‘policy’.

That policy refuses to distinguish there is a fundamental difference between a ‘job’ and an ‘income’, and that ‘inflation’ is not the same as ‘prosperity’.

Til these basic differences are realised and properly understood neither Party will ever be capable of delivering the actual results most British Columbians genuinely desire, have worked and are working for, and unquestionably deserve.

We once had a government in BC which, though it, too, eventually lost its way and fell far short in delivering those desired results, had within its founding principles the correct notion that, “Whatever is physically possible and socially desirable should always be capable of being made financially possible.”

The key to doing that is definitely NOT ‘tax and spend’, nor to practice a niggardly, permanent ‘austerity’, but rather to properly relate ongoing physical realities to an accurate numerical ‘reflection’ of them. Modern day finance is supposed to be able to accomplish that, but currently it does not.
Until that is corrected, it won’t really matter who we put in as government, we’ll be increasingly displeased with whatever else they’ll have to offer.

Well when you talk about legacys how about the ALR,ICBC may hate it but no government is going to remove it and how about land use planning which stopped the boycotts of our lumber now about the growth in education, health ect.People can paint any picture you want but what have the Libs done for the past 14 years???? LNG??? which is still years, years away if ever.

Tee hee hee, my job is done.

with regard to a bcndp legacy, and please no one take me to be a supporter of that party, bcliberals either, the bcndp did give us the constitution act.
not a real constitution, but better than anything any other province has, and any so called ‘federal government’ has bothered to come up with.

Liberals have given us higher energy costs. Way to go fiberals.

Higher energy cost can not be blamed on the BC Liberals alone.

Against the world we pay the cheapest electricity. Our gas and diesel is fractional to Europe and the rest of the world.

However, back to Horgan. He needs to convince the people outside the lower mainland that industrial development is bad for us. Good Luck.

The layoffs which happened from Walter Energy has nothing to do with the NDP or the BC Liberals. If China is not interested in the Coal, prices fall. Simple as that. When they get interested the mines will open up. So, when these guys in the mines were making 100k plus a year, did they sock any of it away. Likely not, they probably created debt load to the max. Sad to see it, but if the kid is not going to listen to the Mom and Dads, its the way the cookie crumbled.

Going back to the good ol’ days when the Socreds were around the voting choice was clear. Either a bunch of millionaire used car dealers or a bunch of daydreaming social workers.

He spoke:”Remember in 1999, we were a have not province, thanks to NDP rule. Bill Bennett Got us Expo 86, His Old man was a tyrant, but got this province on track with building the infrastructure we still enjoy today. What has the NDP done for our province, to leave a legacy?????”

Ammonra aint’t gonna like this! So far however you got away with it! Congratulations!

Energy costs up because of the carbon tax scam and high rates paid to IPP’S.

The carbon tax is revenue neutral. If that tax was paid to me by the guvmint, would they call it revenue neutral? Entry into a ledger type scam.

Sorry PrinceGeorge, but I’m in Vancouver visiting my son and grandchildren. Much as I enjoy arguing with you right wingers, your attractions just can’t compete with them.

Don’t be sorry! Be glad and happy! Relax! BTW, being neither left nor right but comfortable in the middle is a great position to be in – I don’t like extremism! Have fun!

I think christy Clark’s LNG dream is fading fast,
Here is an excerpt from the Russia/china deal

“Russia will invest $55 billion in fulfilling the contract, while China will invest at least $20 billion, Putin told Russian reporters in Shanghai. He said the gas price would be based on a formula linked to that of oil and oil products.

Plans call for building a pipeline to link China’s northeast to a line that carries gas from western Siberia to the Pacific port of Vladivostok. The development of a gas center on the Pacific will allow Russia to export to markets in Japan and South Korea.

“Without any overstatement, it will be the world’s biggest construction project for the next four years,” Putin said.”

Yeah. Good luck in Asia cristy.
