Editor:
Don’t be confused about who’s mismanaging our province.
BC Liberals buy expensive ads bragging to their business friends that they are creating new jobs and keeping the economy strong.
In reality, we see mismanagement and an increase in part-time employment only.
Here is a short list of taxpayers’ money wasted: generic drugs costing more; mining company investment flop; expensive, empty convention centre; a not-so-retractable roof; millions of court costs for criminals; overrun of Olympics; HST costs; RCMP salary increases unknowingly dropping on municipal heads; and, last but not least, millions for nasty ads against their own employees, teachers.
Never mind that ministers in the last while, have given themselves as much as 40 per cent increases.
Finally, there is the ‘friend’ mediator at a cost of $2,000 per day.
The latter will oblige to keep teacher salaries at ‘sub-zero’ because, when it suits, the economy is weak, while average weekly earnings in the private sector in B.C. are up 3.2 per cent, as reported by Statistics Canada.
