Oh I see, you get to call people crooks, but 'dipper' is offensive. OK. 

 

Right there wasn't a homeless problem with the dip... er i mean the NDP. Drugs too. Or with a lefty mayor who promised to end homelessness when he knew he couldn't do it on his own. Got some vote tho, eh?

 

The NDP is anti-free enterprise. They do not know where to begin on that front. And the BC Con's are a dead party. Greens as well. Thats why the Lib's will likely win again. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next BC Government will be a minority coalition between BC Conservative Party  and NDP 

 

Business people in BC are now realizing that the BC liberal party has sold our province to off shore investors.

BC taxpayers  now realize that BC liberals hate public education and send their kids to elite BC private schools.

Homelessness has swept across our province under the BC liberal party cut back to mental health services to our most vulnerable.

No, manufacturers are very happy to have offshore investors and new markets to export to.

Business people, well most of them, are very happy with the strong economy.

Our homeless count is actually lower than Calgary's now. It desperately needs work, particularly mental health, but you're outright BS'ing laying it all on Clark.

What manufacturing? What investors? You mean the ones that are buying BC real estate?

Manufacturers...  Too funny.

 

The only jobs BC liberals create are mininum wage part time no benefit type jobs....

 

The people of BC have never been as poor as they are now...

 

Watch out next Election. The people of BC will toss out Crooked Christy and the rest of the thieves / crooks that work with her.

 

Supreme court of Canada just caught your BC Liberal Friends stealing 400 million a year from our kids.....  

 

The truth is getting. out.

BC has over 160,000 people working in manufacturing. We're #1 in exports to Asia, ~30% of all Canadian exports to Asia are from BC. We're also the fastest growing manufacturing province in Canada. The province is also actively attracting foreign investment in a number of areas (http://www.britishcolumbia.ca/invest/index/)

 

People make comments like this about manufacturing and high tech in BC, but have no idea whats actually going on in BC  - take a look for yourself: http://www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/StatisticsBySubject/BusinessIndustry/Manufacturing.aspx

 

Not everything is based on real estate. 

 

Hey, support who you want, but at least have some of the facts. The Liberals done a great job diversifying our economy.

Hey lucky for you then Clark managed to run surplus to pay for it when every other province is in debt! 

 

And yes manufacturing. Do you even know whats going on in Surrey high tech investment right now? I'll let you figure it out. Hint: health tech.

Anyone who's argument in support of one party is that the other party is worse has such a laughably weak position there's really no point in any discussion.

 

Every time someone says something about the liberals the immediate reply is, yeah well the ndp would be worse. Really? Is that all you have? Is your party/leader so devoid of ideas, successes, or accomplishments that the best argument in their favour is that someone else is worse? 

 

That argument goes both ways of course, those who do it pro ndp or whoever are equally ridiculous.

From the Toronto Star:

 

Quote

 

British Columbia is on track to lead Canada’s other provinces in economic growth in 2016 and 2017, according to a report released Thursday by BMO Financial Group.

It estimates B.C.’s economy will grow by 3 per cent this year — more than twice the national growth of 1.2 per cent.

But BMO says neighbouring Alberta is in a recession, with its economy expected to shrink by another 2.3 per cent this year — following a decline of 4 per cent in 2015.

So what does Steve Darling know about politics?  Just a recognizable face to attract votes? 

Does it matter? He's just a recognizable face out there to do what he's told. 

 

I just hope an opposition can get their act together to get rid of this current crop of clowns.

Except of course those ferries were sold for less than 10 cents on the dollar to a bahrainian businessman who spent the $440,000 to put the galvanized mesh on the intakes and retrofit he pumps as was suggested by experts and they work just fine.

 

If you're going to use a scandal try harder because that particular one makes you and the liberals look like idiots.

 

Sell it for spite to prove a point instead of doing the right thing.  PURE genius 

How about Glen Clark's casino's? How about bankrupting B.C?

I actually agree with this. However most of B.C seems to agree the NDP would be terrible, at least they have felt that way for nearly 20 years now.

You'd  have to be for people with disabilities 

 

Because anyone defending the liberals needs all the mental help they can get

This is the problem with your political debating, and you have been told this by many people hip. In reality B.Cers haven't wanted the ndp for nearly 20 years, does that mean the majority of the Province needs mental help?

I can go into great detail if you'd like in multiple provinces.

 

Lets start on the economy. BC has the most diversified and strongest economy in Canada, thanks to years of work promoting BC trade and investment. It doesn't just "happen". But when you say that to an NDP supporter, they 'counter' with some argument over teachers or housing, or some other thing that has nothing to do with an economic plan for the province. Its fallacious reasoning. Its like saying Bo scores a lot of goals and someone says back to you he was mean to someone, so his goals don't count. Or when you mention BCs manufacturing and high tech sector, and they say something like "what sector"? That response tells you they know nothing about whats actually going on in BC. There's some great things going on and it gets brushed off like its nothing, which is why business people flee from the NDP. 

 

Just stick with the economy, what's Horgan's plan and why is it better? Convince me of that, and i'll vote for him.

Show us those jobs with benefits.  Show us the cost of living analysis 

 

Trust that any number you can dredge up I can poke holes in.

 

Highest rate of child poverty?  Fastest diminishing education?  Highest cost of living?   Largest homeless population per capita?  Lowest wage rates per capita?  

 

The thing they all have in common.   BC issues 

 

Creating part time Jobs without benefits is hard I know.  Them Dippers would be sure to wreck that no question 

 

Do some homework before you walk in to the soon to be created BC election thread or you're going to look REALLY dumb

He responded to your inaccurate comment. Now you spin the subject lol. Wow you're on fire hip.:lol:

I don't need or care to go into it in other provinces and sure, you can always find stats to back up your teams performance. That's easy.

 

What's hard is having a debate. 'Just stick with the economy'. Sorry bud, life ain't like that, you can't just pick one aspect of something and ignore the rest.

Of course you can. Its how you plan things. Its easy to point out problems and then go tell someone else to figure out how to pay for it. No one wants homelessness, How are you going to figure out how to raise the funds required to end it? And "raising taxes on business" isn't good enough - those businesses then need to have the ability to generate that money, so hey go look, we're back to the economy. No matter what your position is, a province needs a strong economic plan. So come on, tell me, how is the NDPs plan better? I really want to know.
