I read BC Premier Christy Clark's column yesterday in the Kelowna Daily Courier
(Bringing Canada To Kelowna), and one thing immediately struck me in the just
the first few sentences:
"I" did this ... "My" this ...
"My" that ...
In the last few weeks, all eyes
have been on Kelowna.
I brought cabinet to meet here, and
later addressed the B.C. and Canadian Chambers of Commerce here.
My focus was on small business and skills training.
Small businesses don't always make headlines, but they're crucial for the economy. They drive almost 55 per cent of B.C. exports and represent 98 per cent of all our business.
My government believes in freeing small business from regulatory burdens that can make it difficult to grow, and supporting them where we can. Our record on cutting red tape speaks for itself, as we were awarded the Canadian Federation of Independent Business' only A grade.
She doesn't begin to acknowledge the work of others, or that this government belongs to the 'people', until the 5th paragraph when she finally begins a sentence with, "We're ..."
We're also supporting small business is the Small Business Accord ...
Right after that, however, BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark is right back to
... I announced ... I also spoke ...
BC Premier on Christy Clark |
At least on the positive side, she concluded with:
"Ultimately, we all want the same thing - more opportunities for Canadians.
"Ultimately, we all want the same thing - more opportunities for Canadians.
This column was written from the MLA's perspective of
course, but that said, she is the Premier of British Columbia, and as such, she
leads a 'team'.
It could have been written to be much more inclusive, but
instead it seems the focus and spotlight continues to be on her -- guess that's
why I have never been able to feel comfortable with her way of doing the
governments business.
One things for certain, at least in my opinion, when (not
if) things start to go wrong, we know who has claimed all responsibility for
the direction and policies of government.
