Horgan will survive this he may still end up Premier. What concerns me more is the level
of political uncertainty. Christie will likely not survive, I hear there is a restlessness in the
more conservative ranks of the Socred Coalition disguised as the Liberal Party For those
who believe the whole thing is over not so. there is a minority and God knows where it will
lead

Your anecdote has nothing to do with where jobs are in BC. You know three people who found jobs in Vernon. That doesn't mean jobs are increasing in Vernon. It doesn't even mean there are 3 more jobs in Vernon, which those people got. You easily manipulated saps rattle on and on about jobs and you don't even know what job numbers mean.
Job numbers are dropping all over the province except in Metro Vancouver and the island. Combined numbers for the province are increasing, but it hides the fact that all growth is in two places and the interior is losing jobs.
BC leads in economic and job growth in Canada, but it hides the fact that the economy is not good for young people. The article you linked to says absolutely nothing about demographics, but mine does. Politicians and pundits go on about "jobs" and "the economy" and the saps that don't understand what these things mean fall for it. Yes, jobs and GDP are up, but that doesn't exactly translate into evidence that the material conditions of people's lives are improving. The facts bear out that despite the economic performance of the province, young people aren't benefiting.
You can sneer at young people all you want, but evidence shows that they are worse off and less established than previous generations were at the same point in their lives, and this will effect older people too. Our economy looks like it's doing well, but our economy is based on consumption, and without more wealth at the bottom and among the youth, not to mention older people living beyond their means, consumption won't be paid for in income. It's paid for in credit. Canadians across all demographics are taking in increasing amount of debt.
Since our economic system relies on the working to consume and our social system relies on the wealth of the younger base to support the old, sick and retired, when older people start checking out of the economy and start relying on the young to keep the economy going, do you think the current cohort of deeply indebted millennials, ten years behind in professional development and no savings, are going to support your ass? Do you think the value of your homes is going to keep up when people can't afford them? Yeah, sneer all you want, but you're fuct too.
Sneering, blaming, and stereotyping are much easier than admitting there's a problem and working on a solution.
That's Bull shit! I see dozens of young people every day who have jobs, but it's not because they are young, it's because they have a good attitude and work ethic. There's jobs in every community where people live and the people with the attitude, work ethic and experience are the ones who are going to get them. If three people I know can find jobs then there is an equal chance that three people I don't know will get them because it has nothing to do with fact of whether or not I know them. Of course it helps if there is a mill, factory or a natural resource in the area. Even if there's not no one is hand cuffing the people to the postal code.
Well considering that Vancouver and Vancouver Island are the two most populated areas of B.C. it is a good thing there is lots of work there .
I see help wanted signs in business's wherever I go , many are for entry level positions but many are also for trades and experienced personnel .I live in the Okanagan, there's lots of jobs here, but you have to be employable!
You sadly can't buy a house on an entry level salary in Vancouver , mind you one never was able to afford a house in Vancouver on an entry level salary .
Do you still think a few people getting jobs means the number of jobs is increasing? Do you think seeing people with jobs means there are increasing jobs?
Slogans are pretty good too. During the campaign BC Liberal signs had "MORE JOBS!" stickers plastered on them. It seems to be the primary reason why people like JLM, who evidently know nothing about jobs and the economy, support the Liberals.
It just seems so obvious, but I've come to expect people around here to not notice the obvious.

See, now I know you're full of shit. There are lots of jobs in the Okanagan, yeah, but you don't need to be employable. Every summer the filthy Quebecois hippie kids descend on your sunkissed valley groping your grapes and peaches. All you need is a backpack, a rat's nest of hair unwashed in 3 weeks, fingers and a pulse.
Alberta has some ugly job numbers, but my cousin got a job in Calgary so everything is fine. Rachel Notley is a tremendous jobs premier. Yuge jobs in Calgary.
More of your damn Canadian spelling. It's "yooge." And I don't care what the colour of the harbour is or how many metres to the centre.
You missed a couple of things sweetie - A work ethic and a desire to do hard, tedious work. A lot of the locals get too picky.
Now you are starting to make some sense!
You just got to get 10 people together working 3 or 4 jobs, 7 days a week and VOILA!
There's an ethnic minority here doing it all the time. "There's strength in numbers". And that's just for starters!
