Or how about, "My fear is we might get what we deserve."

"Seizing economic opportunities"? Is that kinda like an engine seizing? As in it doesn't function any more? He might be right. As has been proven in the past.

Who is supposed to run if every time someone is willing to put themselves out there and try, you get inane comments like those above? If it was an easy job, everyone would do it. At least someone with some glimmer of a vision is willing.

If you've ever met Garth you'd know that he's got a good head on his shoulders. This is the kind of change of leadership PG needs! If I was still in town, I'd be voting for him.

Is vision the problem in Prince George? Or is carrying out the vision the problem?
