Full of yes

Who ever thought that a surplus budget could also be mismanagement by government?

Who ever thought that a surplus budget could also be mismanagement by government?

But in getting to yes, the B.C. Liberal government has lost sight of the difference between right and wrong and its duty.

Getting to yes got B.C. to the Supreme Court of Canada and a decision that ended 15 years of education mismanagement by under-funding. They seem unaware of the misery they have caused.

These days, the B.C. government is doing what former prime minister Stephen Harper and former finance minister Jim Flaherty did after the 2008 recession. They flipped debt forward at a lower interest rate.

In B.C., debt is growing at an alarming rate. Moody’s rating service has warned B.C. that further mismanagement at B.C. Hydro will cause a credit downgrade.

Getting to yes caused the dam disaster at Mount Polley. LNG promises and failures are a product of getting to yes.

In getting to yes, our premier has ended the granting of land title to First Nations. Group homes for children in government care have been privatized or housed in hotels contrary to government policy.

The B.C. Liberal government is bragging about its budget surplus and compares the other provincial economies to a train wreck. If this is so, why are so many of the dead bodies turning up in B.C.?

It’s fair to say that government is elected to do many things, but lying isn’t one of them.

School buildings don’t teach children and hospital buildings don’t heal people. Why was it necessary to get to the Supreme Court for the Liberal government to learn right from wrong?
