You always stayed positive and kept that smile on your face. I did vote conservative simply because I always vote philosophy, never for a person. However, we knew that the Conservatives were not going to do well. Let's be happy we will not have a NDP government. Now lets have a good leadership race with exciting candidates and plan to win the next one.<br />Fred BosmanFred Bosmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718490419176860180.post-18747322275762517662013-04-20T17:27:40.196-07:002013-04-20T17:27:40.196-07:00Interesting article.

I am yet another skilled trade worker that has to work in Alberta, despite all the false ads claiming "skilled trade labor shortage" by the Liberals. The only job creation they have made are the jobs for the people shooting and starring in the false ads. My favorite ad is "Candace is an electrician and a mom" pffft. As a female electrician it is like a slap in the face, just like it is to every other BC skilled trade worker that has to work elsewhere.

I,m not sure why the items you negotiated for at the mine are different than the items the BCTF has attempted to negotiate for years. Your first two paragraphs make no sense at all. Why don't you really tell us why you hate the BCTF. Being a conservative does not mean you must hate unions Alan. I would have hoped you were above such over simplistic cliches. What do you think of radio announcers?

However, as a politician asking voters to put their trust in her, it is quite fair game to want to understand her value system and judgement and what motivates her. Would I vote for a Scientologist? No - because my personal opinion is that their judgement is fatally flawed. But they are free to be a Scientologist until their money runs out.<br />Brian - Toronto Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718490419176860180.post-42183555069721110522013-01-23T18:25:16.563-08:002013-01-23T18:25:16.563-08:00I agree that both you and the Premier are entitled...I agree that both you and the Premier are entitled to your personal religious beliefs. However, I see problems if the leader of this province wants to make decisions for the province based on religious beliefs. Decisions should be based on "best evidence" to benefit the province. Our constitution does not prevent her or you from holding office when you have religious beliefs. It does however prevent you from imposing your beliefs upon me. <br /><br />You are aware that roughly 1/3 of British Columbians do not have a religious affiliation and that roughtly 20% are non christians.

Even more scandalous is the lack of public disgust being expressed by any of the Liberal caucus . Is there not one that will go on record to express disgust? The first critics of a political party's misbehavior should be the ones who can correct it best-ie the members of that party. A lack of action on that party's part only indicates no interest in such action.

The environmental Luddites, who consider any industrial intrusion into their vision of what nature should be don't consider that the world and the economic drivers are in constant change. Roads had to be built and later paved to facilitate transport of trade. Ships & aeroplanes and railroads were built to transfer goods and people. In today's environment (pun?),I wonder what resistance such past achievements would receive if they were brought forward.I also wonder what, if any, productive careers these "environmentalists" have, other than living off social benefits.
