BC's Horgan resigns

[herbie]

Too bad! But at 63 after 2 bouts with cancer he doesn't want to commit to what would amount to another 6 years of politics.

He will be hard to replace.

After years of doing nothing about the failing health care system in B.C. and 900,000 people without a family doctor, it is time he retired.  All I have heard him do is blame the feds for not contributing enough money for health care.  But he doesn't seem to realize it is the B.C. provincial government who has the main responsibility for health care.  Since Ottawa was not contributing enough money for B.C.'s health care, Horgan should have acted and properly funded it in the meantime until the problem with federal financing is solved.  Socialists want to promise every kind of service but they are failures when it comes to financing their promises.  Since the Socialists ban private health care they have a responsibility to provide the necessary care, not just ignore the needs of the people as they have done.

Good riddance. All lefties need to go away

Anyone that’s had health issues like that, it can’t be easy to carry on with your life or career.  
We need change in BC, perhaps it will be for the best.

The struggle for power in politics, it does bring out some of the worst people.  I hope that seeing some of the excesses of the Trudeau government serves as a warning to BC’ers during the next election cycle.

Horgan's NDP MLA Josie Osborne was made a minister and her department just gave a grant of 15 million dollars to an environmental organization.  She is under the microscope and being examined now for possible conflict of interest because her husband sold some land to the organization a few years ago.

The environmental organization is called MakeWay which changed it's name from Tides Canada.  This organization was the target of the Alberta government as a oil/energy industry opponent.  The organization distributes money to various other environmental organizations across Canada to fight various "social justice" causes.  So in effect our taxpayer money is being used to fight for radical environmentalism and against the energy industry and other industries that Canadians depend on.  How is it our tax dollars can be used for what are essentially political causes while the health care system is in a crisis and gas prices are out of sight?

You know what? The NDP doesn't actually give shit. They know you guys are never gonna vote for them in a million years so why would they care?

In the meantime the rest of us can acknowledge how when most people disagreed, Horgan cancelled his little project.

They can look at the new clinic that opened and hospital under construction here, and enough doctors to staff them. After decades of Liberal neglect.

They can remember the road and bridge tolls they promised  to get rid of and did, the ICBC reductions and rebates.

The goddam dam they didn't stop cuz it would've cost so many jobs and we're gonna need it. Didn't care their Greenie buddies were so far green they opposed it and the righties bawling how they don't want electric cars

They'll remember opposing the pipeline through our lake, rivers and fishing grounds and tankers on the coast.

Be prepared to be surprised, the only alternative is a recycled Socred.
