I Can't Believe it

The Liberals won AGAIN! After all of the pissing and moaning about school closures, hospital closures, union busting, and everything else, how the hell did he win again? Do we really want a province that's high job rate is made up of nothing but dead-end minimum wage jobs? Apparently, we do. This just blows my mind. AND the election reform didn't pass (3% more and it would have). This sucks ... I think this is the first time I have actually been upset at an election result happening in my own country. Who does Campbell have to kill before people will realize that he is bad news?

So we a good enviromental issue to vote on in this state ..

.. and as originally proposed it would be funded by the industrial polluters. The hundreds of millions dollar bond was to clean up watershed areas and old mines that are leaking crap, etc. In order for the Governor to get it on the ballot he had to back off how it would be funded with that decision waiting until after the vote. So it passed, but now the battle for how to pay will mostly likely end up the burden of the taxpayers instead of the people doing the polluting. Waiting to decide if it is a good thing until I see how the funding pans out.

It does rather piss me off that the polluters don't think they should pay for clean up. Maybe they'll go halfway, pay for their clean up and other funding for the past polluting done by others. The really good part of it passing is it shows a more progressive mindset in this state than has been seen in the past with both conservative and enviromentalist support. Maybe we will someday move out of the dark ages in PA. lol

I'm confused

I thought Campbell was in the Conservative coalition, not the Liberals. Did I miss something?

Nope, Gordon Campbell is the leader of the BC Liberal party.
