BC Election Today

[X-it]

Not hard to figure out what an NDP government does....unless your plain stupid. We had 2 terms of them, you in Alberta are a little smarter you only needed 1 term....maybe.

MAYBE....is a scary word.......
Frankly, I'm a bit worried that the voters in Alberta will elect her (Rachel) for a second term.....
She is currently "beating her chest and pounding her fists" in her perceived image of standing up and fighting for Alberta with this pipeline...(didn't do **** all to stand up for all the unemployed workers but people tend to forget). There are less than 2 years to go and by that time the Alberta economy will likely be recovered or on its way to recovery and she will stand up and say "look what the NDP did for Alberta....we got the pipeline(s) approved, our economy is firing on all cylinders, we brought you new schools, new hospital(s)...we are actively fixing the highways and infrastructure.....blah, blah, etc , etc....."

I hope that the Alberta voters see through the bull**** and do not allow them in for a second term.....but the momentum (perceived momentum) is starting to flow in her favour at the moment

Sorry for the rant....this is a BC thread

true but look at the outcome of our two provinces recent election and voting wasn't mandatory.

I unfortunately don't agree with this either, many of those that don't vote are also so poorly informed they wouldn't make a wise choice if forced to vote.

100% agree! Should make it a law everyone has to vote.

Nope. I'll never support anything that tramples on freedom of choice like that. Totally un-democratic. Ya, I know. We live under a constitutional monarchy, not a democracy. Same argument applies.

I have a couple colleagues out of Montana who have been bugging me for a job to get away from the US / Trump and here we have Canadians wanting the opposite. Reminds me of cowboy boots. When I lived in Europe N.American boots were considered the best but back in the '80's Italian boots were considered the best in N.America. LOL.

Grass is always greener..........

Totally agree, but that's also true of many who do vote. It's sick how many people vote for a nice smile or familiar nationality. Look at all the stoners who voted for Trudea for no other reason than legalization of weed.

I would like to see everyone vote but that is a reality I'm afraid we will never see. I do think that the people that do take the time to vote are the ones totally invested in the future of our country. The left is smarter than the right. They actively go after new voters. My daughter said that the NDP had set up booths at the U of C in Calgary reaching out to uninformed voters telling them they were the only party that was interested in saving the planet, building hospitals and improving education. What a load of crap.

What about a incentive like a tax break for voting or something

Would love to see that happen but you would need a set of balls to set that in motion.

Honestly I think it should happen, once people run out of gas there will be calling for either a immediate election or those two morons will have their backs against the wall when negotiating takes place. I'm all for it.

Natural gas won't be effected but the oil would make a huge impact, although that could back fire and turn into a all out trade war throughout the province, roll the dice and see what happens I say.

Please don't do it to all BC'ers. Beaver and Horgy don't represent all of us...

Your close enough to jump across the line for fuel

Go for it. I'll take one for the team. Whatever it takes to rid us of this Green/NDP mess.

I feel sorry for all the people in BC that live everywhere but the lower mainland. Time and again the government that gets elected there is so focused on Vancouver that they don't pay any attention to the rest of the province. This green/NDP alliance that's forming now is going to be even worse.
