Liberal government of 2001 did exactly the same thing, inheriting a balanced budget, but finding a previously unknown “structural deficit.”<br /><br />Except there was no structural deficit. Campbell & Co. tried for years to blame the NDP for all the BC Liberal's program cuts, but in the end not one accountant was willing to lay their post-nominals on the line for that lie. Not one!<br /><br />Campbell introduced massive revenue declines with tax cuts for individuals and corporations as a tactic that was part of a larger 'starve-the-beast' strategy to cut programs and attack workers, but the NDP did NOT leave a "structural deficit" in their wake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-8972439748086760752013-02-22T17:59:28.153-08:002013-02-22T17:59:28.153-08:00The Liberals know that Dix has said he will releas...The Liberals know that Dix has said he will release a platform during the campaign and that it will be fully costed. They know he isn't doing it before that.<br /><br />So I guess they've decided to make some hay out of standing around now screaming "where's your budget?" Not a lot more grown up than screaming for your supper at 4 o'clock when you know it's being served at 5.<br /><br />The sad part is that as they prod reporters with that line, they're getting traction with some of them.<br /><br />I also think, in regard to Ms Isinger, it's kind of sad that Canada has been pushed so far in the direction of Fox News that there are real live women here who aspire to be Ann Coulter. That's scary.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-3210384410835131762013-02-22T15:25:03.652-08:002013-02-22T15:25:03.652-08:00Well, its obvious that Mr. Smyth or the chortlers ...Well, its obvious that Mr. Smyth or the chortlers on the twit box don't know where the weasel stands in the world. As a predator it rids the area of rodents and vermin that will spoil anything they come into contact with( something that would be more applicable to the current government). A weasel is a very clean, efficient animal that leaves no mess behind and is actually beneficial to have around. And a greased one would be able to do its job that much more effectively as it could access rodents that think that they could hide or hide something from view.<br />Might just be the animal we need to clean up our rat problem in BC.<br />Can we get a few of them working for us? Actually it might take about 60 to do a proper clean up.cfvuanoreply@blogger.com
