What is the difference between Premier Clark and the NDP?

MEDIA RELEASE

October 7, 2011- VANCOUVER, BC - Today on the Bill Good Show, Premier Clark stated that if Mr. Cummins wants to challenge the BC Liberals, he should run for the NDP. "This is ridiculous coming from Premier Clark whose policy book looks more and more like it is written by the NDP," said Mr. Cummins. "Perhaps she needs to take a good hard look at her own record this year, and see if perhaps she is in the wrong party." It's been harder and harder to see the difference between Premier Clark's government and the NDP. They agree on all of the following: The carbon tax - increased in July, and jacking it up again next year The gas tax - imposing a new two cent a litre gas tax in the Lower Mainland Raising the minimum wage, without consultation Putting special interest groups ahead of those of the majority of British Columbians Creating a larger and more expensive bureaucracy Ignoring Senate Reform Soft on crime Cutting the number of prosecutors and sheriffs Funding their parties through special interest donations Implementing a tax structure that sees the average BC family pay more taxes than any other province west of Quebec Implementing economic policies that cause more people to leave BC for other provinces than are moving here Delivering deficit budgets Putting the interests of the teacher's union ahead of those of parents Unnecessary to develop strategies to safe guard BC from the economic crisis hitting the world "Every British Columbian deserves a real choice in the next provincial election. As you can see, Premier Clark and the NDP share the same vision for British Columbia. I am here with the new BC Conservatives to provide a common sense, mainstream choice, for all British Columbians."
