I don't blame you. It would be agonizing having sex with people who only know how to repeat three-word slogans.

Ax the tax! Build the homes! Cut the crime!
give them more drugs!

put them back on the street, who fucking cares if they will be back in 1 day after killing another!!

fuck the Jews! the Terrorists outnumber them in votes!!

yeah, agonizing

It's pretty easy to spot a conservative. Black RAM with a F*CK Trudeau sign in the window.
I'm a business owner, real estate investor, and professional. Every business owner, real estate investor, doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc., that I know, are voting conservative, including ones that have historically leaned left or have never before voted conservative. Yes, some braindead morons are also voting conservative, but there are also braindead morons voting NDP, so that's just an ignorant take.

Eby is running a massive deficit and is basically just handing back taxpayer money to taxpayers to buy their vote with these dumb rebates. He has no plans on how to get back to a balanced budget. He's done nothing to deserve my vote. I stand to gain a lot more from the conservative party even though I think some of the candidates are nutty and it's a gamble I'm willing to take.

If you truly are a business owner, you should be very concerned about the damage these uneducated bumpkins, racists and conspiracy theorists led by a loopy Facebook grampa could do to your business.

We don't know what their plan is, but they would likely slash spending, implement bridge tolls, and raise ICBC rates so they can once again use the insurer as an ATM.

Economies and growth are driven by middle class folks with money in their pockets to spend on goods and services. They are not driven by balanced budgets and austerity.

Taking money out of people's pockets is not good for business.

I've never understood why some folks are so easily tricked into believing conservative economies are strong economies. Because there's really no evidence of that.

It’s a shitshow here in BC at the moment. Neither party offers any inspiration to the voters, no clear path forward with leaders and candidates that inspire trust. With four days left, one of the parties finally released their budget which has deficits at least as large as the other party. I’m heading off to vote in a few minutes and I’ll definitely be holding my nose while I do it (yes, figuratively speaking) 🙄. I seriously can’t think of any provincial election where I felt more depressed about the future here with either of the two main parties. First world democracies seem to start to rot at a certain point. The basic fundamentals of running a country or a province are shifted to the backseat in favour of ideological policies or political expediency for votes.

Yes, the BC Conservatives just released their platform - four days before the election. I guess better late than never. 😬 And, apparently, precious little in the way of any costing. Are you kidding me? Are these grown-ass adults or a bunch of teenagers trying to finish their Grade 8 Social-Studies project the night before it’s due?

How are they going to pay for al their promises? They’re projecting a delusional growth rate of 5.4% in BC over their term. The NDP budget is based on projected growth rate (not delusionally high at least) of 3.1%. TD Bank estimates 1.9%. You can’t make this shit up. I can’t believe anyone would seriously consider voting for these jokers. The basic requirement of job of any government is to manage a budget. Does anyone believe these clowns can handle a $77 billion budget when they can’t even provide a platform with a budget in what is essentially their job interview with the voters of BC?

If can’t stand the NDP please vote Green. At least Fursteneau’s party is not filled with conspiracy theorists.

One political science professor from the University of the Fraser Valley (not exactly a bastion of left wing propagandists) said:

Everything they could possibly think of went into this platform, except how to pay for it all," said Telford.

Telford said the costing part of the platform only provides vague details of how the party will pay for their promises.

"The party is really just disorganized. This is a party that hasn't elected a person to the legislature in 50 years."

there you have it! the conservative platform is awash in spending! don't know how many times i've had to point out that "conservatism" has nothing to do with balancing budgets.

its all a charade anyways... they will raise taxes for working people because they "have no other choice" after they get in. and they'll cut taxes for the wealthy and big business. they are clearly bent over for big oil as well.

hilarious.

if you are a business owner then your taxes will go down. but working peoples taxes will go up. sounds nice in the short term but it means less disposable income in the economy thus shrinking GDP.

the carbon rebate taxes carbon. those who emit more pay. those who emit less get it back... and then some. its tax neutral.

The whole point of this rather long history regurgitation is that David Eby and the NDP announced last week that they are going to start forcibly confining repeat offenders and giving them psychiatric assessments; they are also actively looking at reopening Riverview or a similar facility to house the most extreme cases, for their own good and for the good of the community.
I would love to believe this but the timing just before an election sounds manipulative at best and doesn’t seem to align w their m.o.
Especially when they backed giving away free drugs and legalizing open drug use in public .

I agree the former bc liberals are basically dipshits .

So basically it boils down to the least manipulative of three mediocre choices .

I have never been a conservative person however simply because I know their stance on encouraging open drug use will be nil to none , even without them saying a word about it ,
I will be voting conservative for the first time in my life .
Simply because of this one issue .

I’ve never voted NDP ever but will this time because they have way less stink on them compared with the alternative retread nut bars from Liberals and Conservatives.

I don’t think my life has suffered one bit while Horgan and Eby have been at the helm.
I’m guessing you don’t spend a lot of time in DT Vancouver ( live / work )

The downtown Eastside has been a mess since I was a kid. I grew up here. The loss of sro’s made it more noticeable because now they have no where to go. That is definitely not the NDPS fault.

People want that non-doctor in power..and given her riding she'll be elected.

Fucking lying bitch!
What else is she lying about? If she lies about something as serious as being a doctor then she is basically dishonest and a bad person.
The PC site has been edited to note that she in not registered with the College.
It still credits her with a “double PhD” from her mail order degree mill. Equivalent to a blank diploma from Ebay.

I didn’t even know about this story. Thanks for pointing it out. The BC Cons are just that, it seems: con artists.

With the current number of seats (46:45:2) won the elephant in the room is that a Speaker has to be appointed! As Mikey says … could be interesting!
