I voted for BC Liberal but don't like arrogant G. Campbell.....
Too bad, I'm not in his riding.

Among all Chinese candidates, I hate G. YxU the most.  The way he spoke and attacked his counterpart w ...

Agreed, I worked at the poll yesterday, as expected, the NDPer organized group voting en masse,  they would  constantly  look up the voter list , rushed to call whoever have not yet cast their vote.  The proposed STV would definitely give them more advantage..

People live through Glen Clark's regime would know what a corrupted government would hurt business. I've been here since 1977 and yet to see any bureaucratic comparable.  Right,  freeze the college tuition, so students would have to waste one year or more to accumulate enough credit. Smart up students, high education is very expensive, you are only paying a small portion of the tuition at school, and eventually you will be paying for the consequences.
What made me laugh is whenever  Gabxxx Yxx on talkshow, he praises highly Clark's
economic insight and that Clark is now the right arm man of Jimmy Patterson's enterprises. How so? by staging class struggle or giving up his idealology and  be a contended and loyal employee?

Even Carol James admits that British Columbian trust Liberal would
better manage the economy. I truly admire and respect James as
an social advocate, just cannot trust the NDP to run or ruin the province,
once burns, always scares.

Liberals may not be the prime choice, but NDP is surely the worst in the bad lot.
I did not see how well they manage healthcare , education and welfare in 1991-2000. They issued the back to work decree that cost them dearly too.
In order to provide good healthcare, education and welfare, we need a lot on funding, and where do the money come from when we scared away all the investors?
Can we give the Pacific Cat, Pulp Mills  to the union and ask them to  run the business without subsidizing?  It is true that the real estate soared after Expo 86, and some people suffered too, but without Expo 86, Vancouver could be  just like White Rock,
or Victoria, a nice place to live but difficult to make a living.
Don't forget most of our infra-structure and schools were built in 50's -70's, with the growing population, we need to upgrade and strengthen the systems badly, I do not think the NDP can create a climate to attract investor.

I want a safe neighbourhood too, not just saying like Gabxxx.
But I think the gang activities is not as bad as 80's, there were shooting
and group street fights among 5-6 large Chinese gangs, Big Circle Gangs,
Viet-Ching gangs, red Eagles, Lotus, Russian, Hispanic, Hindu gangs etc.
There were even group fights in high schools that involved KungFu Schools
to intervene. And they collected extortions from Chinatown merchants, run
underground casinos  in Chinatown etc. but none of those has really bothered
me, although I had break-in for a few time.
Promoting business does not necessary sacrificing quality social services, try to
talk to your MLA's, both the Liberal or NDP, urge them to table the issues. Try to
get something positive done instead of advocating class struggle, even the CCP and
Russian ditched decade ago.

Do you know how many gangs we have now?  I think the recent number is 125!

Those things that happened in the 80's is just peanuts compared to now.  More things to come later I think, just watch.  If ...

I really don't know much about gang activities, I seldom encounter them.
I strongly against legalized drug, I rallied and wrote on anti-dope  in HK early 70's.
Yes, Translink sucks big time, we should have a saying and control  over our transit system.
I'm neither union worker or big business, so I could be more neutral in political pov
