Today I thought before I posted a media release from John Cummins and the BC
Conservatives, I would take an edited (only to shorten) quote from John
Cummins “About Me” web page
Throughout
my career I have always stood for common sense. Too often political decisions
are driven by special interest groups or political correctness. Join me in building a … new government based
on common sense … do politics differently … listen to the people … build a new
choice for British Columbia. Help us return common sense to the Legislature.
Given the government we have been getting under Christy Clark and the
BC Liberals, BC Conservative Leader John Cummins is right when he says … “the
cries for common sense change from everyday B.C. families will only grow louder”
MEDIA RELEASE: Vancouver -- September 20,
2011 -
Cummins: Clark neglecting
Nanaimo's unemployed
As Christy Clark
unveils her jobs agenda around the province, she is avoiding a key region;
Vancouver Island.
This oversight
comes on the heels of comments made by Liberal MLA John Les that young people
living in the City of Nanaimo may want to consider leaving town to find a job.
"Telling
people to leave home to find a job is not a solution," stated Mr. Cummins.
"The people of Vancouver Island, Nanaimo in particular, deserve to hear
directly from the Premier how she plans to help decrease the unemployment rate
in their city."
The City of
Nanaimo currently has the highest unemployment rate in the province at 12.3%.
"People need
to know that the Premier is concerned about Vancouver Island. With over 6 500
people unemployed in Nanaimo alone, this should have been a key stop on her
tour."
If this is lack
of support is what British Columbians can expect from the next year and a half
of the Clark Liberal government, the cries for common sense change from
everyday B.C. families will only grow louder.
Common sense has indeed been missing from Victoria for too many years now ... and it's why Christy Clark and the BC Liberals will increasingly, and nervously, be looking over their shoulders. They can count on the fact that ..."the cries for common sense change from everyday B.C. families will only grow louder."
IF you are looking for a way to begin bringing common sense to government in BC ... The BC Conservative Party has made a good start with their Guiding Principles
