If a company wishes to survive in the long term it must act responsibly even if there are costs in the short term.
 

 

Vulture capitalists aren't interested in the long term, all they are interested in is "unlocking value" from their acquisitions. Set up a holding company, sell your acquisitions assets, distribute the proceeds to the shareholders of the holding company, flog the carcass of the acquisition and dissolve the holding company. Done all the time.

So, explain someone, who's Premier for now?

Clark, but she can't sit in the legislature or vote until she wins a seat. It would get really interesting if she lost a bye election

I thought their policies were pretty clear: block any project that might create jobs, raises taxes, increase spending and then raise taxes even more when they realize their spending promises cost most than they claimed.

 

I didn't think they were clear at all and that is what allowed the Liberals to define them. People went for the Liberal definition because it was the only clear one out there.

Who is doing that? All I said is there is a desire for an alternatives to the Liberals and that the NDP failed to tap into that desire because of its policy platform. IOW - people want Liberal policies - what they don't want is the party. Given a choice between politicians that you dislike and policies you dislike people will tend to place a priority on the policies.

The NDP ran a bad campaign as well. They let the Liberals define their policy instead of coming out with something clear and concise that the public could judge for itself. The Liberals did that even if a good part of it was BS. I'll eat my car if this province is debt free in 15 years. More likely it will have more debt. The Liberals also had plenty of baggage but the NDP didn't use any of it. Not running a negative campaign doesn't mean you ignore your opposition's history. Going after a party's policies and record isn't the same as the character assassination that goes on in many campaigns.

Only as long as the NDP sticks to its job killing/tax and spend agenda. If there was a middle of the road alternative in BC the liberals would have been toast.
