Please people,  don't fall for the bribery spending the Lieberals have recently announced,.

 

It's time for a changing of the power structure in this province. When one group controls all, without checks/balances,  it never ends well for the masses.

The B.C liberals are terrible but the fact they keep winning kinda tells you the ndp alternative is likely worse.

I think a contributing factor is there are morons who buy political spin hook, line and sinker.  They buy the narrative that the NDP ruined the province, yet seem oblivious to the issue that prices for commodities were soft in the late 90's.  It's one of the major factors for mill closures, Tumbler Ridge coal mine closures etc..  Yet, when many of those commodities saw record prices on the Liberal watch, where was the $$$$.  In their corporate bum buddies coffers.  And when those prices softened again, they then buy the apologetics that the Lies give them.

Anybody who believes that one major party is going to be better, more honest, more open, more logical etc, etc, etc, than the other is dreaming. Read the history books. Winston Churchill once said that " it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time". With the possible exception of a benevolent dictatorship this is probably true, however don't expect anything too different if the NDP get in, perhaps at first it will seem to be better but it will evolve into the same old same old. In the end they're all a bunch of lying self-serving leeches.

Ya there really needs to be a legitimate third option in B.C.

Christy Clark hates public education.  Christy Clark prefers to support ( fund )  Vancouver  Super Elite Private schools where only  rich people can afford to send  their kids....

That's where Christy sends her kid.

Honestly, I don't disagree with you but I think you may have missed the point of my post.
