Im afraid most voters are oblivious to the reality of government spending.

The idea that spending on services doesn't show long term thinking is misleading. Chretien's cuts meant Canada didn't build public housing for 25 years which fueled the fire on the housing crisis we have today. I wish Taylor said a single word about taxing wealth and other redistributive policies which get capital back in circulation and not holed up in billionaires like Chip Wilson's mansion

1000 dollars a year in sewage treatment cost and going up up up it is ridiculous

Credit rating downgraded 3 times in 3 years = more of our money to the bank and less on healthcare, education etc. Horgan did a great job but now we need to vote for change!

[@ophiuchus9071]

Horgan fired half the healthcare workers because they refused to bow down to his authoritarian control and that is why BC is having all the problems now with healthcare. As far as overspending of taxpayers money, Horgan was responsible. He was a terrible person and a globalist plant that worked against the people of BC while pretending to be serving them.
