Let's git 'er done. Show us this is a different group of governors with some commonsense and backbone that will not bend to the guidance of career back room political party types (regardless the party). Big risk of wishywashiness happening all over again. <br /><br />This is not the way to increase share of popular vote next time around. I would suspect even the dutiful blind followers will call this a serious faux pas...too many good people have been elected to not be made use of. I don't care if they call the house to sit and rule on how many baskets of flowers to hang on the front porch, just rule on something. Banning union and corporate dues has already been presented, just photocopy it and present it again for chrissakes. <br /><br />Sure a lot of stuff will take time, so what....people (and the media) will accept that if they see some action....or are we going to have to take aerial photos of them sitting on beaches instead of working? There should be places of importance and TV time offered to a Green or two as well. We want our province back and if this isn't the party to get it done we will soon get another one in there. <br /><br />motorcycleguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-73729622491879190552017-07-06T09:23:44.671-07:002017-07-06T09:23:44.671-07:00Actually....NDP party is expecting dutiful blind f...Actually....NDP party is expecting dutiful blind followers to shut up and say nothing..<br /><br />even the swearing in of Horgan and cabinet has been postponed to last days of July...Grant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-48482980504868041742017-07-06T09:04:41.806-07:002017-07-06T09:04:41.806-07:00Does NDP want bloggers to focus on them now by del...Does NDP want bloggers to focus on them now by delaying.?Not recommended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-7368412752770060012017-07-06T07:59:23.556-07:002017-07-06T07:59:23.556-07:00Absolutely bring the leg. back quickly to get the ...Absolutely bring the leg. back quickly to get the ball rolling, brilliant idea.

The Green/NDP should immediately hire you to get them on the right track! They need to stop bringing re-treads from Ontario to come out here and tell us what is the best approach. One only needs to look at the disaster the leader of the NDP was in an election that was hers for the taking! <br /><br />I've seen so many examples of the NDP shooting itself in the foot, grasping the jaws of defeat when they were on route to a win! I saw it when Mike Harcourt was elected and the old guarde, who considered him a "lukewarm" socialist, brought in outsiders who had engineered defeat for an NDP party in several parts of Canada. I worked in government -- I saw their stupid mistakes -- and I saw them dump things like 'bingogate' in his lap rather than where the responsibility really existed.<br /><br />I despair that they have been so oblivious of what the majority of voters were really looking for in a political party and blew so many opportunities. I would hope that most voters would understand that b.s. baffles brains and when the local media is so intense in electing one party, they needed to present a balanced, reasoned approach to their platform. <br /><br />I could go on and on, but I think you understand where I'm coming from and how disappointed I have been for a number of years now. They should NOT take my vote for granted. If they decide to put a candidate in my riding that I cannot find it in my heart to vote for, I would rather stay home! and they need to understand that.Lulymaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-57777015031672975542017-07-05T19:31:00.472-07:002017-07-05T19:31:00.472-07:00I have to agree.

What would piss off the Liberal cabal more than having to spend a blistering hot summer sitting in the Legislature while their friends are at the lake sucking back whatever they suck? It might make the long in the tooth Liberal MLA's think what the hell am I doing here? Perhaps the seats on that side of the room are not as comfortable?

It would truly signal things are going to be done in a new way, done for all BC citizens - BCers that have been so used and abused by the BC Liberals and their captured/sponsored MSM.<br /><br />Brilliant in my opinion Grant, such action would really shakeup the status quo and signal big changes for responsive and effective governance.<br /><br />I hope Mr Horgan and team will take your advise. John ghun and many other will all see the merits in your advise.
