Violator Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 One byelection in namaimo could decide the future of B.C. politics for the forseable future. https://www.citynews1130.com/2019/01/30/a-highly-charged-atmosphere-in-nanaimo-on-by-election-day/ Crazy stat i heard a few days ago was only 2 of 22 byelections went in favour of the ruling party.

Warhippy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 lol the last 16 years nanaimo was totally ignored by the liberals, it became a place of junkies transients and the homeless. Now the NDP has poured money in to Nanaimo the last 17 months and is building shelters and housing but the guy whose entire business is built on speculative housing and development is promising to change that with the BC liberals... Honestly, the enjoyment people get out of never leaving an abusive relationship (boomer generation) is rather sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DADDYROCK Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 After they brought in those machines(from that corrupt company) to count the referendum vote on proportional representation I for one am totally done with politics. THE CORRUPTION MAKES ME PUKE. Scientists say we have 11 years to "survive" on this planet and not a media outlet or politician is stepping up to say we have to do major things to help our children and grandchildren have a future .all for money.

butters Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 being done with politics is pretty lame. The more people that are involved the better it is for all. If people stay home, then the tiny minority of whoever is left makes the decisions. And however much you dont like politics, its worse for most when that happens.

You get someone EITHER WAY, that tells you that they can spend your money better, and more ethically than you can, while getting a ridiculous pension and wage for spending your money. Government is a con job. 99% of it. And the sooner everyone comes to this realization, the better off we all will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's a case of history repeating itself. Liberals deserve to be out of power for a while to give them a dose of humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
