Poor leadership in Alberta, B.C.
Dear editor: Here we go again! It’s like a sequel to a really bad movie. The cast and script is much of the same money grabbing termites from yester year. Remember the Fudget Budgets, the Fast Ferries, Glen Clark’s sundeck-a gate, Casinogate (Adrian Dix’s personal computer was seized by the RCMP and now he is a cabinet minister), mining companies and sawmills shutting down, and our talented young trades people moving to Alberta for a job?
I am talking about John Horgan’s NDP government. It’s abundantly clear Horgan is on a short leash and his owner’s name, is Green Party leader Andrew Weaver. The No. 1 reason the lefty NDPs got into power by the skin of their teeth this past election is because of their appeal to the lazy swine that sold our province so they don’t have to pay a toll over the two large bridges in the Lower Mainland as they drive to their place of employment.
The Lower Mainland switched to NDP orange to save on paying the tolls. The joke is on them as Johnny and Andy will hit them all with a new fuel tax to make up for lost bridge toll revenues and history will repeat itself as taxes and more taxes are the NDP’s way to manage.
In the budget, Carole James performs a slight of hand trick that only a socialist could be proud of and announced the MSP premiums are to be eliminated by January of next year. In reality, the premiums are not gone, just merely transferred to the independent business owners of our province. Where is the incentive to be a entrepreneur in B.C., when the fat and well-rested premier just takes from them?
Premier Horgan promised us $10 a day child care. I think what he really means is giving parents $10 a day per child as a way to subsidize their costs. His focus with child care seems to have shifted to creating training for more child care workers so more parents can go to work and pay for his ridiculous, half-baked economic disasters. Sound like a flashback to communist Russia to me, where the state looks after the children and the parents work for the fatherland.
In conclusion, we have an NDP government in both B.C. and Alberta. Between Rachel Notley and Horgan, they are demonstrating to us how the NDP lefties can’t agree or have any vision with purpose. It’s an economically dodgy situation the two “leaders” have put us in. Don’t worry about that, there’s help coming from another lefty from Ottawa. His name is Justin Trudeau as he rams the pipeline up John Horgan’s keester.
