Liberal

Carol James did impress me the most. She would stop the sellout of our rivers...help wild salmon (fish farm lice) etc.... seniors schools hospitals ....... ABC

Don’t bet on it, Carol James has a very short memory otherwise she would remember that it was her party that started what is erroneously described as sellout. The rivers are leased not sold. Under the NDP government the lease was made out “for Ever” the liberals cut it back to a maximum of 40 years.

It was the NDP that wreaked our health service and education system. It’s not good now either but a lot better then what the NDP left behind.

Carol James is all mouth and wishful thinking.
Elections should not be all about fish and rivers it also should be -mostly- about economy and that is where the NDP sucks big time. Have you read or heard the taxes she wants to force on businesses? And what influence the unions will gain under a NDP government? Not good, not good at all. That she does not like hunting and wants to curb hunting rights and opportunities are weighing in for me too but overall NDP = economic disaster and more taxes for everybody to finance the global warming myth.

You are pretty naive to think that the NDP will save our rivers and salmon populations.  Once elected, it will be business as usual.

There is no doubt that the Liberals has made BC business friendly, which (if you like it or not) is essential for the economic health of the province.

I got $50 says James gets it.

As in getting to form the next government or get it from the NDP rank and file when she loses the election ?

2 polls- one with Campbell at 9% another with a 2 % margin. Should be fun on Tuesday.

I'll say it again.
This election is simply the lesser of 2 evils. Makes me not even want to vote.

I am voting Liberal for the sake of fiscal management - which may not be ideal, but less risky than the alternatives. The river/hydro issue is critical for me, but i find the rhetoric overly simplified - eg. "selling away our rivers" as if we wont have access to them ever again. The fact is that we can continue to regulate river projects whether they are private or public. Also, run of river projects are no less green (probably greener) than publicly funded projects, and will ikely be better managed. All of this without having to sell the rivers as they are technically leased - and owned by the Crown.
This is not a cut and dry issue for me, but lets not be duped by the ndp fear mongering without considering the complexity of the issue. Not to mention the fact that the NDP has voted for Run of the River projects in the 90's, and would likely take the same path given enough time in power were they to win.

The thing about the NDP that scares me is that you know our debt will increase instantly with them. As past records show, they have no problem spending till we're bankrupt.

  Looking at the polls on here really shows how extremist and out of touch with the general public many members of this forum are. If up to this forum we would have a far-left socialist state . Good thing this doesn't represent reality.

I could be wrong but I think our fish and our environment may have had a higher priority than we had with the old and now the new government. We will see what the next 4 years holds.

Not surprising that this poll did not reflect Tuesday's election results because it is not scientific. It's only asking one specific interest group who they will vote ie. the fishing community. Another poll on another fishing website indicate a similar pattern - a NDP majority government. If one was to do a poll of union members and business leaders you will have the following results : a NDP and Liberal government respectively.

And if the union group or this board group had their way we'd have a fine Bolshevik Worker's paradise too . Now where have I heard that before...

Ya I second that. I'll put money on it that Gordon still has it in the back of his mind to convert our BC sport fishery to the British Day Ticket System.

But yeah, works for me. With my background as a sport fishing columnist, and fly fishing instructor I could sell my skill to the highest bidder. That would grant me allot of nice fat checks and $%^$ everything for my kids and everyone else's. It's all about the money; Right!

I wonder how many that voted Liberal would change there vote now after all that has taken place after the election?

Political parties will say anything and everything to get your vote. Every political party has a hidden agenda they keep under wraps til after the election.
