We voted the NDP out because we want an end to this stupidity. This loss will make them feel like they need to show that they still have the power to ruin everything if they don't get their way. They will be more determined than ever to demonstrate that no one can tell them anything and make it stick. If we want an end to this endless round of school closures and hospital cancellations we need to convince both Mr Campbell and the union movement that we mean business. We want references to the families of BC to be about all our families and not just those of our unionised neighbours.
Public service ought to be entirely legislated as essential services.
If they aren't essential they shouldn't be funded. And if the employees can't find a way to be happy about the quality of their employment they should go elsewhere and find what happiness they can. We'd rather pay for their move than pay for more attitude and conflict.
