Two pages on Dix losing a skytrain ticket but nobody here thinks it's significant a 17-year Liberal has jumped ship?

I guess with thinking like that it explains why we've had the most corrupt government outside of Quebec for the last 10 years.
Unfortunately, Hunka...this is just another sign that the current Liberal party and gov't is starting to fracture under Clark's steerage. We are the taxpayer, we pay them to govern the province...and they are clearly shitting the bed. If you have caucus members jumping ship to another party, then that member hiring a lawfirm to look into the dealings of this gov't (BC Rail), and also alleges other dissenters are also considering similar actions....we might be in for an election sooner than later. We really can't let this one go, as taxpayers, we can't afford to.Nope....just the same cards shuffling to a different deck. Cock why don't you tell us why this is so significant and why any of us should give a sh*t? You've read the papers, have you read anything you didn't expect in what either party/ person had to say?
Quite frankly, losing a skytrain ticket is more interesting than anything VanDongen is doingound:
It could also be that he/they realize they have no chance of winning the next election. A cynic might compare it to rats jumping off a sinking ship. I'm at a loss on what to do in the next election because there is no way in hell I would vote NDP, especially with Adrian Dix at the helm. Maybe it's time I started voting Green?
Yep. I do swing from the centre to the left, but there hasn't been a good centre choice...ever. NPD in the 90's...nope. Gordon Campbell in the naught's (2001-09) was supposed to be close to centre....nope. Christy Clark...not when she's hiring Harper's advisors....not even close. BC needs a good politically centered party that can reflect a more moderate view...and stay away from american style attack ads, especially when there is no election in the near future....
As for the Greens...good on some issues, way too far left for me. Conservatives? Hell no....to radical and religious. It does come down to who's going to fuck up the least.
That's all any politician believes in.Getting elected. Unions & big business are whose really steering the ship.
I protest!
Where is the proof Dix actually paid for that Skytrain Ticket?
ound:Van who? Who gives a shit. He knows he has been on the outs with the Liberals for years. He basically just fell on his sword.

I use transit all the time, buses usually, not Skytrain. I think it's great Dix actually uses the system. Pretending it's a big deal that he couldn't produce his ticket is BS. It's the same fine as a speeding ticket, and where has it ever been news that someone got one speeding ticket.
Van Dongen is another matter. Leaving for a third party is a big risk, and if he's taking that kind of risk there must be some kind of major rift going on in the BC coalition government.
What about this as an option:
