Good points there, Cliffy!
What would be good is the Liberals getting 60% of the seats and Dippers and Greens getting 20% each. We don't want the Liberals getting any illusions of popularity or the Dippers and Greens thinking they are anywhere close to being on the road to power.
SOC I guess I got the best of both worlds. I love running heavy equipment and I get paid really well for doing it. Plus full benifits. Get to go to some interesting places too.

Even our unions are not really backing the dippers for the first time I remember and at least 1 is openly backing the Liberals.
Christy Clark would have done her party a favour by taking a hint and stepping down last time, especially when she couldn't win in her own riding. She's hurting her own party and it'll be her fault if they lose.
I like the Liberal Party, just can't stand Christy Clark with her pompous arrogant attitude looking down on British Columbians.
Anyhow, tomorrow the big Day, BC election and day surgery.. Again.

Thirty years ago I voted for the Dippers, thinking of course they were for the working man. Finally I woke up and saw the light including their true colours. They supported some of the employed people, mainly the drones, parasites and shit disturbers but they were never for the real workers - seniority was what qualified you, not ability or work ethic!
I'll say one thing for the Dippers, when they were in power I never saw people living on the streets..
I had left to live in Texas, when I return for an operation, people were in doorways of stores, sleeping on the street.
I walked into a 7/11 and purchased a bunch of sandwiches and milks, and went outside and started to hand them out.. I really felt sad to see that in Canada.
Now in Vancouver you see tent cities all over the place..
Maybe, an NDP Gov't is what BC needs right now.. this is not Canada, this looks more like downtown Los Angeles on Main St. by the Union Gospel Mission, along San Julian and San Pedro Streets.
I mean you expect the USA to be a shit hole with homeless all over the place.. not Canada.
Homelessness is caused by capitalism. It has become epidemic.I'll say one thing for the Dippers, when they were in power I never saw people living on the streets..

What do you expect to happen when broke people decide to stay in a city where an outhouse has a seven figure price tag? Nothing will help those in tent town, except a bus ticket out of the lower mainland.I'll say one thing for the Dippers, when they were in power I never saw people living on the streets..

Well what they need to do is
1. outlaw this, no more tent cities.. it's a tourist town.
2. most important open up more shelters..

Shelters are good for the handicapped and disabled, but for everyone else I suggest a 30 day limit as long as they are looking for work, after they find a job, extend it for 60 days but charge them $10 a day rent.
Yeah, it's what is known as a self fulfilling prophecy............................the homeless in Vancouver are mainly mental patients.............what else would one expect? You have to be f*cking mental to start with, to live in Vancouver!
A rather sad comment on your own state of mind-not surprising though.Yeah, it's what is known as a self fulfilling prophecy............................the homeless in Vancouver are mainly mental patients.............what else would one expect?

There's been tent cities in Metro Vancouver for decades. They arent new.
Do nothing. Enabling isn't working.Well what they need to do is

Can you name me two redeeming features about living in Vancouver? I can't even think of one.
If there was a candidate that perfectly reflected your opinions but was only guaranteed a handful of votes in a distant 6th place would you bother to vote for them?
