Why do BC Liberals think that they can get away with this?

Because BC voters allow them to.

Because BC voters allow them to.

Because there is literally no one else to vote for. We are essentially living in a dictatorship - forced to choose between corrupt Door A or insanely stupid AND horribly corrupt door B (the NDP). We need another option, as the NDP is just too dumb, lazy and corrupt to vote for as an alternative.

I agree there's no other viable option

Vote Independent. Vote Green. Just get rid of this malfeasant, corrupt, corporate bought and paid for arrogant group of self-serving ChristyLiberals. Even vote for the NDP - BC is not going to disappear in 4 years!

The BC Liberals as corrupt and as incompetent as they are have people still believing that the mess the province is in is still the ndps fault. Its a type of brain washing abusers use to control their victims .
Lng or crispys family first campaign promises is proof of this manipulation . I guess the fear of the unknown is more powerful then the stupidity you already have.LOL

No but the NDP will destroy the economy in one year. Don't vote NDP, whatever you do.

^^^ Not sure how the NDP could possibly do that. I call BS.

Of course you do, because you are an NDP automaton. You call BS on everything that makes your dear crappy NDP look bad. Manitoba just punted those losers out after 17 years of disgusting union control of the entire government of Manitoba. The NDP is a disease that deserves to be in the trash bin of Canadian political history.

Until there is a viable alternative the BC Liberals will continue to be elected. The NDP is simply not a viable alternative for most people (thankfully).

Maybe one day the NDP will realize that they can't keep trying to attract and retain such radically different groups whose only common interest is opposition to the ruling party. The NDP might have had some legitimacy when they mainly represented trade unions and resource industry workers but they lost any legitimacy they might have had when they welcomed in the environmental movement. The two groups may be on the same side of the political spectrum but they are simply not compatible. The NDP might do better by distancing themselves from the enviro-nuts and return to their traditional unionised labour roots. Pretty safe to say they will never do that however since they wouldn't want to lose such a large chunk of their current base to the Greens. So we are left with a party that is so desperately trying to be all things to all people and pleasing none of them. Well thought out Dippers!

It's a sad day when Albertans show us how to do it.

The Conservatives had worn out their welcome, much like the BC Liberals have in BC. So they elected an NDP government. Governments don't hurt or help the economy as much as any political party will tell you and in 4 years, the NDP will not destroy the province. But in the next election, the Conservatives will present themselves in a whole different light than they did in the election that they lost. In the long term, the process will benefit the province and it's citizens. Few people are surprised by the new found vigour that any political party will summon after a term in opposition.

BC needs to elect an NDP government to highlight to the BC Liberals that they are not doing as good as job as they could be. Anyone who disagrees, is merely failing to admit that they openly support the corruption and scandals of the BC Liberals.

Even though I have always worked in the private industry in BC, I agree that change is sometimes necessary to wake up a party. The election of the Harcourt NDP was a good thing for BC as the Socreds were self imploding. Unfortunately for the NDP the second term in power was a disaster and they really setback the party. I disagree with others that they would ruin the economy in one term. But in my opinion what makes them so unelectable is they have abandoned their blue collar roots and let themselves be hijacked by extreme environmental groups. Look at how Trump has been so successful by promising jobs, including high paying union coal and steel jobs. How did BC Liberals win last election - jobs, jobs and more jobs.

[flamingfingers]

Purely and simply the ChristyLiberals need to be run out of power here in BC. They have become so self-serving, arrogant and beholden to corporate interests that their ability to serve the interests of ordinary citizens is nil.

They have lied about LNG and JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!
They have lied about 'FAMILIES FIRST!"
They have lied about 'DEBT FREE BC!"
They have lied about "The Most Transparent Government in Canada!"

Looking at the number of people who have been harmed to point of death by the ChristyLiberal's policies and arrogance SHOULD cause their supporters to question whether they, themselves, advocate the continuation of this administration.

Turf the buggers out!

Turf the buggers out!

Nothing is impossible (e.g. look at Donald Trump) but turfing out the Liberals will be an uphill battle in next year's election. The BC economy is arguably the strongest in Canada and the forecasts are for it to stay strong at least through the next couple of years. We've read a lot about Liberal scandals and faux-scandals in these threads over the years but those aren't the things that tend to motivate voters. "It's about the economy stupid" may not be very eloquent but it's true.

The sheep will continue to vote for the Liberals. They cry and complain about their kid's school being closed and about grandma waiting 2 years for a new hip and then they'll walk into the voting booth and vote Liberal. They believe that the budget is balanced because Christy told them it was, plus she smiled at them. Meanwhile BCHydro, ICBC, BCFerries, and BCBC keep borrowing a few more billion every year that goes into general revenue, but that debt never appears on the provinces books. "It's balanced!" Smile.
