It read in part:
... Premier Christy Clark gave what was, by all accounts, a rousing speech .. a clarion call to arms leading up to the election next spring. Indeed, there wasn’t a defeatist tone in the speech or mood in the house...

Soon to be BC Liberal candidate John Martin sharing his
thoughts of Premier Christy Clark on CKNW (03 / 28 / 12)
"Not even the most devoted Liberal
supporter could
argue with a straight face that this government has
earned a
fourth mandate. Theirs is a legacy of deceit,
incompetence, and financial
mismanagement."

... recent polling has the governing Liberals deader than the proverbial
doornail that would seem to be more than a little strange. But the premier is
nothing if not a fighter ... it seems likely at this point that Adrian Dix and
the New Democratic Party will form the next government, it is by no means a
fait accompli.
... BC politics has been about big
government and unions versus free enterprise ... when the NDP got into power in
1973 and 1991, it was because the free enterprise party was in tatters. I’m not
sure that can be said now — especially with an energized and feisty premier.
... if Clark can frame this election in the traditional left-right terms of
free enterprise versus big government and big labour, plus play down the
battered Liberal brand, she might just have a chance.

be surprised at who ends up going to the legislature in Victoria next May. Seriously!
That led
to Collin Rogers taking a moment to suggest:
