This is a “taxpayer funded” commercial message for Christy Clark and the BC Liberal Party

Is Christy Clark and the BC Liberal governments new Job Strategy program really going to take credit for new mining jobs, for projects that were already in planning … development … or ready to start up?

A story by Cam Fortems, in the Kamloops Daily News says that, “Kamloops will play a major role if Premier Christy Clark’s jobs plan is to produce results within four years.  The city could be home to two of eight new mines Clark pledged will open by 2015. New Gold Inc. is scheduled to start production at New Afton next year, while KGHM-Ajax is hoping to start production in 2015”

That's a pretty sweet deal considering she is looking at just 3,000 jobs total created from all of her announcements. 

There is NO WAY any new mines are going to come online in the next 4 years as a result of this week’s job strategy announcements.  That’s why this week’s traveling sideshow was nothing more than an opportunity for Christy Clark to give the illusion something was being done, when in reality it is not.

Each appearance by Christy Clark should have been prefaced with an announcement that stated, "The following is a taxpayer funded commercial message for Christy Clark and the BC Liberal Party.”

What a joke ... this government isn't sad ... it's pathetic!!

I don’t know about you, but I would really like to know how much this week’s charade has cost the BC taxpayers.  In fact, we should be demanding to know what it has cost!

I’m Alan Forseth in Kamloops, and these are the thoughts of one conservative.
