If Dix get elected and implements half of what he is promising, the debt will be a whole lot higher than that in 2015.

Political parties take too much credit for when time are good and all the blame for the bad. When in reality most of this is out of their control. The Liberals suck. But I can not blame them totally for our economy it is big world out there. Parties have an impact on the economy but it is not the main factor.  BC is largely resource based and does well if we are getting lots of income from natural gas, wood products and hydro power. Deficits are passed from one party to the next and it become their problem.

 I can blame them for their poor oversight of the civil service and crown corporations. The GST. The climate of secracy that surrounds much of their actions. What due they have to hide? Money wasted on advertising. Their phony balanced budget is planning to sell off more assets. What are they planning to sell now? I can see where few of us will be fishing if the feds and the BC Liberals keep on their path of privatizing, closing recreation areas,  reducing enforcement and exploitation of resources. Guess we can just bitch on the internet.

I will vote out any party that does a poor job.

So the Liberals have doubled the provincial debt in 10 years, with most of our money going to friends and sycophants (look at Liberal donors and provincial largesse ) now they're selling the furniture to make a mortgage payment. How can it get any worse? I still retch with disgust thinking about Campbell and his trained seals wanting to cut an inner city school meal program while lavishing tax breaks on high income earners.

Do I trust the NDP? I've become so cynical with elected officials that I've learned not to trust any of them. Voting is like being a judge in a turd tasting contest.

I can't decide whether I feel disgust or pity. Maybe a combination of both.

So what's the alternatives AF? This group of Sad Sacks have lost any moral authority to govern, Cummins is ineligible for Village Idiot status, and there isn't enough independents running.

I think as preserving and enhancing our wild salmon the NDP is our only choice. In the 1990s under the NDP they did numerous salmon habitat projects in b.c. , with forest renewal money. I myself worked on at least 5 projects on the chilliwack river, including placing spawning gravel at the outlet of chilliwack lake, for steelhead, the construction of the centennial channel  which was built for all species of salmon , and steelhead, resident rainbows and Dolly's.. And numerous other spawning channels and rearing ponds in the upper chilliwack river.
