Liberals with another victory. What message? "we're not the Liberals" ? Thats not good enough. They have to present a coherent plan if they want to win. There may be enough people simply tired of the Liberals that it will be hard for them to get more than a minority this time. Diaper politics may be in the NDPs favour - a feeling of "we need a change" might be the NDPs best weapon but you get the sense they're going to pull anther Dix. I met Horgan at at college function a few months back and the guy is far from inspiring, lets put it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on low paying jobs. B.C is behind Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario in household earnings with the highest cost of living in Canada. The average salary in B.C is under 48,000. Again I don't like the ndp but the B.C libs under Christy are not much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Politics don't matter. Until everyone votes independent nothing will change but unfortunately the general population is to stupid to do this. So why vote? If you vote you have no right to complain about how bad you're getting &^@#ed regardless of who is in charge. You played a part in their game.

King you just don't know what you're talking about here, BCs growth in manufacturing and exporting has been steadily increasing every year under the Libs. Maybe stick to talking about teachers.

We're the only province in the black, and have the most diversified economy. So the low earnings in the most expensive Province is a good thing? But no big deal B.C is in the black. Lol I guess they should be, 7% pst, msp, tolled highways and bridges, underpaid teachers, crumbling highways and yet to even have the #1 twinned through the province. But the province is in the black... I don't like ndp at all but Christy Crunch loves voters like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it means we have too high a service component right now, which is why they are working to create more jobs in the trades, high tech and manufacturing sectors. The NDP is anathema to supporting business and development. Nothing will change for those folks stuck in those low paying jobs under the NDP, they may under the Lib's. CC doesn't "have" my vote and I've never given them a dime, but the NDP has to earn mine. So far all they've done is said they aren't her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on what you said about the ndp but in the libs haven't done much to build that Province up to what it could and should be. Even in terrible, terrible times Alberta was the fastest growing province according to the last census. Now B.C is the most beautiful place on earth why isn't it the fastest growing if the economy is so great? Low paying jobs and high cost of living is my guess.

I don't live in B.C nor do I think it's as simple as you're making it out to be. Again B.C is 4TH in wages and has the highest cost of living in the Country. Do the math..

You need to dig deeper into whats really going on in things like the BC manufacturing sector and Asian exports. There are very good things going on. And in fact Vancouver is the fastest growing metropolitan economy in Canada: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/03/03/canada-fastest-growing-economy-metropolitan_n_9376894.html And you need to take another look at those AB stats: http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/conference-board-canadian-growth-1.3633173 But yah, BC is a stunner for sure.
