NDP Plans
- Thread starter LadyC
- Start date
Saskatchewan is a have province now? Last source I saw said it was only Ontario and Alberta.
It's easy to tell everyone how wonderful things will be as soon as you're elected. It's after the ballots are counted that things get tricky. That's when you need your "wriggle room".

Yes, perhaps I should. I'd much rather hear the pie-in-the-sky ideals than bother with the nasty reality.
No, you obviously don't understand, C. It is the same kind of plan that the NDP in Saskatchewan used to become a have province. Diversification, promotion of local resources and local businesses and value-added to natural resources before they are exported.
It is a strategy that works not just in the short-term, but insures that long-term growth can take place.
You rolled your eyes at it and then questioned whether Saskatchewan was a have province. It is. It became one in November.

Apparently Saskatchewan will be classed as a "Have" province for 2005-06, but they will still receive some equalization payments this year.
Those things alone aren't enough to turn things around, Rev. How much were taxes raised to pay for the programs? How much will the university's suffer if the tuition freeze is implemented again?

How much will the people of BC suffer if they keep shipping raw logs instead of developing value-added industries? How much will they suffer if the population does not have a good education? How much will they suffer when the average real wage keeps dropping? How much will they suffer if the fish farms kill off the wild species?
It seemed a simple enough question, B. I take it you have no answer, since your only response was to ask a handful more.LadyC said:
How much were they raised to pay off the debt left behind by the neo-cons in the Devine government? It's not an answerable question, C. If you knew anything about Saskatchewan, you'd know that.
The NDP left office in the early 1980s with the province in the black. When they came back to power the province was on the verge of bankrputcy, social programs had been cut to the bone, profitable crown corporations had been sold off.
So did the taxes go up? Yup. It's been a long slog to get the province back on its feet and somebody had to pay for it. Campbell's plan and what he's been doing to your province looks an awful like what Grant Devine did in Saskatchewan. The rhetoric and the promises are the same. So are the actions that don't meet the rhetoric and promises.

The NDP here in B.C. claimed to have balanced the books, too.
Your post offered no answers, just more rhetoric and blame-shifting.

With all the "Olympic and RAV" construction coming up we need to the NDP back in to make sure these people get fair wages.
I got a laugh at that "notndpagain" web site. The Construction Contractors page. Basically they want more money for themselves and not pay their employess a descent living wage. They are scared shitless if the NDP get in they will bring back the "Fair Wage" Law. Campbell was an ass for getting rid of it. But in BC I guess only the few friends of Campbell's are allowed to make a descent wage.
Hopefully the NDP get rid of the slave wage ($6 bucks sucks) and legalized child exploitation by allowing 12 year olds to work. That is plain wrong. And they eliminated the office of the independent Children's Commissioner, who was the province's watchdog for children in care.
Basically the liberals and their supporters just care about money and not the people.
I see now Campbell is going to destroy the Skeena river salmon runs by allowing fish farms in its esterary.

Is there nothing this man won't do for money? Destroying eco systems, wanting to start offshore drilling, slave labour, slave wages, gutting legally signed contracts, over ruling labour board arbitrators decisions, cutting wages in half. No wonder the UN has found Campbell's government guilty 9 times for human rights violations. Campbell is truly an evil man.
Shipped Ferry construction to Germany and now sounds like Poland will build our new ferries. Of course he will wait until after election to announce that. So much for creating BC jobs.

I've been reading a few things about the BC debate last night. The general concensus seems to be that James won, but there was no knockout punch, Campbell did okay but looked a little arrogant and evasive at times, and that the Green leader(sorry, can't remember the name) was much improved over previous performances.
