Oh, please, Bob. I know you want to get elected again, but this is just spreading blatant misinformation at this point.
The NDP is the one slashing services. Hospital departments are shutting down across the province under the NDP’s watch due to mismanagement and failed priorities.
The NDP has also brought our natural resources industry to its knees with endless red tape and DRIPA. NDP policies have driven investment away and crippled one of BC’s biggest economic drivers.
A Conservative government under Kerry-Lynne Findlay will unleash BC’s natural resources economy. A strong, growing economy will deliver better services and real value for taxpayers.
Read between the lines.
Reducing taxes (undoubtedly for the most wealthy) means lowering revenues which means cuts to essential programs, healthcare, education and reduced spending on capital projects.
We saw this playbook 2001-2017. 16 very long years.
Yes, we should find efficiencies. Yes, we should figure out how we can save money on capital projects. Yes, we should work hard to get back to balanced budgets.
But don’t mistake increased wealth for a few for prosperity for the majority of hardworking people.
The economy should work for everyone. As John Horgan always said, “if we put people at the centre of policy we will always make the best decisions” (paraphrased).
Populous rhetoric may seem attractive, but it doesn’t solve real problems. Don’t fall for it.
