I’m so excited I can’t wait zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What, no stop in PG to wave the L.NG flag… Anyone else still waiting on the billions of dollars from LNG the lady promised?

Kristy Clarke cares about moving this province forward socially? And you are criticizing him for smoking weed? I’d say you must be smoking something a lot harder, considering you think a province with some of the lowest welfare rates and highest child poverty rates in Canada is moving forward socially.

Also, nowhere in the Canadian Constitution does it say that you have to be working or productive to criticize the government or it’s leader.

kind of like lip service. nice response. I guess this is why the Liebrals want to legislate growing dope.

Kristy doesn’t need to stop in Prince George. She knows that there are a plethora of useful idiots who will vote for her government, no matter how dismally it represents this area.

then visit Pioneer Log Homes. She’ll be right at home with those drama queens .

    Pioneer Log Homes is a value added manufacturer, employs a lot of people and brings a ton of cash back to the province from the homes they build all over the world. The money brought in from the tv show is an added bonus.

    If it was the big dipper visiting the puddle you would have been singing the praises of Pioneer.

    I’d like to know how those clowns get away with televising WCB violations that would get any other business shut down for non-compliance.

Just who would you naysayers like to see visit PG, as politicians, Sunnyboy?

You want to stay off welfare and reduce child poverty in this province? Stay in school, get post-secondary academic or trades training, get a job and live within your means. It’s that simple folks – I’m not saying it’s easy, but it’s simple. Stop expecting someone else to bail you out every time you make a poor life choice.

    As Foghorn Leghorn would say, “I say, I say. It is real simple….simple-minded that is”.

    Seriously, your world view has to be simple if you think that everyone on welfare or down on their luck is due to not having post-secondary education or trades training.

    As to your philosophy of not bailing people out. I hope you never need hip replacement or knee surgery, because why should I help pay for surgery for someone who has trouble walking any more? Maybe they should have taken better care of their joints. Can’t walk? Too bad. Suffer or pay for it yourself. That is the kind of system you are advocating. Or does that kind of harsh reality only apply to poor people?

Hey Kristy. When are you Socreds going to bid on another Olympic party for Vancouver? Maybe we will be able to get another 10% of highway 97 four-laned or maybe the folks up North will be able to actually get some shoulders on their portion of the highway. How about that? Vancouver could get another multi-billion dollar light show and people who live north of PG wouldn’t feel like they are about to fall off the goat path that laughingly passes for a “highway”.

Real thing of beauty that your government has four-laned large chunks of the highway from Dawson Creek to the Alberta-BC border, but main arteries within BC get short-shifted with “make work” projects. Frankly, Kristy, your government sucks.

    actually City of PG is bidding on a Summer Games.Another bill they can dip into our pockets to pay off while saying it was great and paid for itself ( and we know that wasn’t quite true)

Hey Haha – there are armies of people on welfare, or other forms of social assistance, that are perfectly capable of supporting themselves but choose not to. Stroll into any 7-11 in the middle of the afternoon and spot them buying smokes and lottery tickets.

I’m all for supporting those who are truly in need (for health or other reasons) but I’ll never support a systemic welfare state that gives hand outs to people who choose not to contribute.

    See. That is where your logical fallacies destroy your argument. To whit:

    1) That someone buying smokes or lottery tickets in the afternoon must mean they are on welfare.

    2) That someone on welfare automatically has “chosen” not to contribute.

    3) That welfare is some sort of cornucopia that allows people to live well, when evidence shows that the pittance we hand out is barely enough to cover rent, let alone smokes and lottery tickets.

      PPP…Good top 3 hahaha…in Alberta lots of normalized PPls,crusty has done nothing to ease this situation..or anything else for that matter..

TY E.M….
