Re: Kelowna West by-election
Advance poll numbers are about 6,000, considerably lower than the last election. How busy are the polls today?
They will have to see pretty massive turnout tomorrow considering last by election (2013) garnered 18,797 valid votes. Like over 12,000 voters....
Anyone have latest numbers for today?

Re: Kelowna West by-election
Congrats West Kelowna - your stupidity and fear of the NDP boogie man puts the Liberal back in power. Wasn’t 16 years of escalating corruption enough. Wasn’t the billions of dollars stolen from bc drivers who insure with ICBC enough? Wasn’t the billions siphoned off BC hydro enough? Wasn’t the billions for an unnecessary Peace region hydro electric dam enough? Wasn’t the 14 year court battle for class size and composition and the hundreds of millions to rectify this issue enough? Isn’t casino gate and the billions of off shore dollars laundered through BC casinos enough? What about run away house prices which ensure our kids will NEVER attain the life style we did enough? How about the hundreds of millions in revenue lost in below market land deals to liberal supporters? Oh yea we don’t vote NDP or anyone else because they are bad for the economy! Uh dork!
Yea I can sure see why you put another greedy self serving Liberal back in the legislature. When will you learn?

Kelowna-West is not West Kelowna (only). While he probably would have won a West Kelowna election, he wasn't standing in one.

I see Thompson really captured the imagination of the electorate. Nice going, Mark. Such a shining star you are.

Newsflash Einstein, the money wasn't stolen it was put into general revenue to pay for services BC'ers rely on, and I'm sure that includes you.
FYI, though creative, and not as transparent as many of us would wish to see, what was done was legal, and in keeping with accepted accounting practice, but then that doesn't play well into your narrative does it? Sorry about that.
The court battle actually saved us money, but we know how tough math is for you NDP types.
Casino Gate? Don't know much about that, but I do recall Bingo gate where your precious NDP were ripping off old people.
Take a business class, before commenting on what's good for the economy, given your demonstrated cluelessness, so typical of NDP shills.

It's the ones who didn't vote who are the idiots.

Doesn't matter who voted and didn't vote, it's over. Now let's clean up all those signs.

Hi OLd Techie, thanks for your reply. I actually do have a degree in business from UBC thanks. My point is Kelowna West voted in someone from what I consider to be a member of a corrupt party for the reasons I listed. Consider that one entire cohort of school kids (grade 1 - 12) went through a very compromised school system. Saved nothing there as kids simply did not learn enough with a lousy liberal teacher student ratio. And is shows as these under educated kids join the job market.
Money stolen, hell yea. Land deals where properties with a fair market value of $120,000,000 sold to a Liberal government supporter for $75,000,000. That’s just one example in Abbotsford - there are dozens throughout the province. Bingo gate, ok the NDP diddle with old folks and likely that was lousy but it is nothing compared to the billions coming from Offshore and being laundered in BCs casinos. They have to wash that fentinal and carfentinal money somehow right. After all they buy billions in real estate in BC and that’s just fine with the libbies right. We can just spend billions on treating those addicted right.
Precious NDP no, ($10/day child care, I shake my headj but my point is how corrupt can a government get before people stop voting out of fear of the boogie man. I am encouraged by much of what Horgan is doing but what a challenge with this coalition. And there is so much 16 years of liberals have wrecked that has to be fixed. It will hurt.
I admit I do not trust ANY government right now. Not federal, not provincial nor municipal.”Take off your shirt Justin, peoplekind love you” (say that screaming like a 14 yo girl at a concert.)I BC politics has been an embarrassment recently, GOrdo Campbell, Glen Clark, Bill VZ., for example way too much pandering to gain votes, toward political correctness, toward throwing money at commissions rather than govern. Crusty Clark was the absolute worst though. do say however that the NDP would have been the better choice for Kelowna West at this time, especially given how much the Liberal government rips off the masses and panders to their nose blind “business” friendly base. I’m rambling a bit sorry and the new KW guy is on Daybreak so I’ll listen in...

^^ A degree in business and wanting the NDP in power simply does not make sense!

Here's the thing, to those who are so anti-NDP, there is no way to understand why anyone would support them. The same is true for those who are so anti-Liberal. If you can't see why someone of equal intelligence and ability to yourself would reasonably and with equal understanding to yourself, support the "other side", you either lack in both or are just rather partisan.
