Se...h/t to <a href="http://albertapolitics.ca/" rel="nofollow">David Climenhaga</a> and AlbertaPolitics.ca<br /><br />September 22 – In what had been the country’s most overheated housing market, BC Premier Christy Clark’s imposition of a 15% tax on foreign buyers of Metro Vancouver homes was among other things, a political gamble, one that for now, appears to be paying off.<br /><br />Not only was this policy change unequivocally popular with people living in the region when it was enacted, it has also given Clark the most drastic quarterly increase in her job performance approval since winning re-election in 2013, up 7 points (34%) since the spring.<br /><br />Despite this bounce, Clark’s ratio of disapproval to approval is still nearly two-to-one.<br /><br /><a href="http://angusreid.org/premier-approval-sept2016/" rel="nofollow">http://angusreid.org/premier-approval-sept2016/</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-4443946238282984582016-09-21T08:45:34.914-07:002016-09-21T08:45:34.914-07:00...The Quintuple Lobb?...The Quintuple Lobb?RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-50721333822894975822016-09-20T23:35:39.242-07:002016-09-20T23:35:39.242-07:00Theft pure and simple...remove the criminals next ...Theft pure and simple...remove the criminals next election..period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-44721965792463860682016-09-20T17:48:06.857-07:002016-09-20T17:48:06.857-07:00Anon-Above--

However, she doesn't. Christy wants ALL the money. She can then use it to finance some of her supporters, you know like mining. Don't think those mining companies have paid the province the billion they owe. She still is handing out money to the film, mining, gas, etc. corporations via rebates, etc.<br /><br />No, we the average tax payer just keep paying and Christy keeps thinking its so complicated. well its not. All the B.C. Lieberals have to do is announce they are scraping MSP and all those computers will just be adjusted. Its real simple, but then if you're not quite up to finishing university or much else perhaps its complicated or she is just plain old too dumb to be premier. Its time to elect someone who doesn't thing changing the MSP system is complicated. <br /><br />Anyhow did't de Jong just say we have surpluse of over a billion and change?<br /><br />This province has lots of money, its just Christy keeps handing it out to her financial supporters and wasting it. Christy just doesn't want to spend money on public education, health care, or feeding kids who live 50% below the poverty line. Christy has at least $8 BILLION to build Site C, but not enough for bus passes for the disabled who live on $908 plus a $77 raise. there is something so wrong with that. <br /><br />Come to think of it, why is Christy building site C. Read on the weekend in the State of Nevada, the power companies are fighting back against solar power. there is so much solar power being produced the regular power companies are loosing money. They have sued and settled with one large hotel chain which has established such a successful solar power system, if they dropped off the regular power grid, the power company would loose a third of their revenue. Regular power companies no longer want to pay solar customers a rebate on their electricity they put into the grid, they are loosing too much money. So again, if that is where things are going, why do we need Site C at the cost of $8 Billionn. Much better to spend it on education, health and feeding kids. On the other hand, if Site C isn't built there are going to be a lot of disappointed B.C. Lieberal supporters. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
