I'm
wondering ... does Adrian Dix and the BC NDP support the 'leadership' of the
unions which make large campaign contributions --- or the actual men and women
that pack a lunch bucket to the job site?
I'm wondering this because it seems ONLY the BC Conservative Party actually supports development of new high paying, family raising, union jobs in the resource industry (ie: mines and Northern Gateway)
From the Globe and Mail ... with regards to Adrian Dix and the NDP:
"With a regulatory review for the contentious Northern Gateway project still under way – and a provincial election on the horizon – British Columbia’s New Democratic Party is already looking at ways to stop the $5.5-billion project should it be approved."
That includes a legal team considering strategies to prevent it from being built, NDP Leader Adrian Dix says.
“You can do a whole pile of stuff on the regulatory front that will increase the price to where it makes it economically prohibitive,” said one former bureaucrat, who did not want to be identified because of current contracts with industry. “The smartest thing to do from a political perspective would be to fight the thing in court because the delays will kill the project.”
And in the National Post with regards to, Christy Clark Yes today and NO tomorrow??
"Clark ’s real weapon is political: the opposition of much
of the B.C. public to the project, and the price the federal Tories would
likely pay at the polls were they seen to be overriding the government of B.C.
on the matter — her own, or her likely NDP successor’s.

The list of demands she has suddenly produced, far behind in the polls with less than a year to go before the provincial election, are an obvious attempt to inoculate herself on the Gateway issue, without actually coming out against it."
Now let's
look at the comments of BC Conservative Party leader John Cummins, spoken just a
week ago:
"The BC Conservatives, alone among our province's four major political parties, support the economic development and high-wage job opportunities that will come with construction of the Northern Gateway pipelines," said Cummins.
"Of course, the project must adhere to our nation's stringent environmental laws and regulations. A fair and objective analysis will conclude that the economic benefits toCanada
and British Columbia
The reasons behind the support for the pipeline centers on job-creation and resource management. “If we don’t do something with these resources,” he said, “someone else will”.

Meantime, if anyone thinks the BC Conservative Party position has changed in
any way, I invite you to check out this link to a video which was done by Integrity BC
Do BC Conservatives support development at any cost -- NO of course not ... although we have, and will again be alleged, to have that policy. Here however are the facts of BC Conservative Party policy regarding jobs, the environment, and resource development:
