Boulevard of Broken Promises

Kelowna, British Columbia
49°57' North; 119°23' West


Somebody's gotta do it, and Rick Barnes at Politics in BC is doing a fine job.

Specifically, Rick is tracking all those New Era Promises that have been pulled from the gov.bc.ca website and he is showing how so many of them have been broken over and over and over again.

And as somebody who's been involved in more than one small social service non-profit agency that has had it's throat slit by the Liberal knife over the last four years (including one that served hundreds of needy families per year that was killed so that the Ministry of Child and Family Development could give the lousy $28K per year to Doug Walls to flush down the toilet) we found Rick's illumination of the hypocrisy of Little Lord Lorne Mayencourt particularly interesting:

"Why aren't the social workers, psychiatrists, Human Resources people and all the other official assistance professionals walking the streets, trying to find out what the residents need and what's missing from their services? " Statement by Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt better known as the Westend Partyboi.


Hmmmmm....maybe because you and your leader fired them all, that's why.
