Over the past several months, there have been many stories in the news, about Christy
Clark's call for the big tent free-enterprise coalition to once again rally
around her.
“We’re different now” … “things
will change” … “we want to have your input” … are part of a dubious and questionable
rebirth of their enthusiasm to have suggestions and ideas from the people of BC.
Should
that not be an on-going process that political parties are involved with –
NOT just at the point of certain defeat at the hands of voters?
Over
the past several years, BC Liberals have not been interested in hearing from the people of BC. Instead,
they seemed to believe they already had all the right answers.
They have governed with what seemed to many, a callous disregard for the results.
Things
like Community Living BC spring to mind … as does ever increasing fees and
taxes for things like hydro, car insurance, medical premiums, ferries, and more.
Rural
communities watched in shocked disbelief as schools and medical facilities
were shuttered and closed.
These
things are just the tip, of a long list, of reasons why three quarters of the
people in BC are now indicating they will NOT vote Liberal in the next provincial
election.
