So this fucker has ripped our province apart for a decade
Let's take a look at his grand achievements in cultural destruction:
- Massive increases in the number of people who don't qualify for any form of subsistence while unemployed or unemployable. Social Services are a Provincial responsibility, the failure of the social safety net is a Provincial gov't failure
- Childcare that costs $500 to $1000 per month/per child while the minimum wage is about $800
-A minimum wage that doesn't come close to covering living costs in BC
-Increases in imported foreign labor while unemployment for Canadians in BC has steadily risen
-An Olympics price tag that will reach multiple BILLIONS of dollars in the end
-Poverty services that are almost non existent, while contractors are paid millions to supply services that add no real value
-A steady reduction in services and beds for the mentally ill, with huge numbers of mentally ill who should have treatment options ending up in the street
-Millions spent beefing up pools and recreation centres in richer neighborhoods while foodlines and volunteer run centers that actually give real meals and services to the poor get nothing, or a few thousand per year.
-Massive increases in foreign ownership of BC land and buildings
-Corrupt kickbacks from the steamrolled privatization of hundreds of millions of dollars of BC infrastructure (BC Rail, Translink, etc.)
-Corruption and organized crime infiltration of the Legislature, Law Courts, Local police and BC RCMP, airports, gov't contract services, in a scale we haven't seen since the early days of Vancouver.
-Steady degradation of services and support of BC residents who face racial, sexual, orientational, and disability related stigma and discrimination
-more than 700 public sector employees that earn over $200,000/year
-Over 6 million spent on top Healthcare salaries, while waiting lists and clinic wait times soar
-Huge increases in the number of people in jail, mostly from poorer segments of society
-More jails being built before shelters
-20+ hookers disappeared with almost no money spent finding out what happened to them, then millions spent digging up their remains and building a special court for the trial
-I personally find it disgusting that he was not only arrested in Hawaii for drunk driving, but the actual amount he was over the limit was fucking criminal. IMHO.
-It would cost less than $1 million to convert any one of many deserted downtown eastside warehouses into 12x12 cubicles for housing hundreds of people, but they'll spend $14 million making up some 40 units. Someone made a big profit building that shit.
There is soooooo much more to say about this corrupt and gruesome beast, but I have to go to the first good job interview I've been offered in almost a year. L8R.
The one thing I'd say to the NDP is: I don't like it when you yap on and on about families. Everyone is equal, there are more singles than marrieds in BC, and gov't services shouldn't be skewed toward the "nuclear family" model.
