Everyone has heard, see, read results of the latest political poll
in BC, and as previous polls during the past year and a half have shown, the BC
Liberals are in trouble.
There was more that took place this week however, so let's begin a wrap
up of things political in BC, that began on January 30, 2012.
… looks as if a legislated settlement is inevitable, with soft-spoken
Education Minister George Abbott showing increasing impatience … government,
however, is now so wounded in the opinion polls it may be unwilling to provoke
a political backlash by appearing too draconian … government needs to appoint
an independent "fact finder" to come up with common-sense suggestions
for resolving the current education crisis …
… obtained by The Vancouver Sun
after a 19-month battle under the Freedom of Information Act, draft copies of
the pamphlet contain a large image of the Olympic flame on the cover and bear
the title “Spirit of 2010: Building on BC’s Olympic Advantage.” … government never sent out the pamphlet,
shredding all copies not long after having spent $780,000 to have them designed
and printed …
… we are doing very well in the polls … two outstanding candidates
representing us in the upcoming by-elections … it’s been quite a while since we
have been in such a strong position … much of the credit for that progress, he
said, can be laid at the feet of the governing Liberals … We have momentum
right now … what has changed is the disgust level of the people with the BC
Liberals has risen …
