The provincial government has told the Vancouver School Board it will not fund any more seismic upgrades unless it agrees to close schools.

What kind of premier threatens to withhold seismic upgrading funds until the school board closes schools?
What kind of person does that.
Is it blackmail? A slow motion hostage-taking?
What kind of analogy could you come up with to rationalize this?
I’m at a loss.
This is a new level of disturbing, even for the BC Liberals.
So. Go read the title again.

Agreed, Stephen. The only thing standing in the way is the only thing that has kept the BC Libs in power far too long – our BC NDP, the veritable gang that couldn’t shoot straight. The New Dems unforgivable performance in the last election has left scars – and a lot of British Columbians feeling lost at sea. People I know who should be alive to provincial politics have lapsed into a collective coma seemingly reconciled to the inevitability of this Liberal dynasty. They don’t see the NDP as credible. In fact, most of them aren’t paying the least attention.
and if the ndp presents a posture of entitlement [after such a posture contributed to losing the last 3 elections], then inevitability is the reality.
the ndp must be the electoral wing of bc’s progressive social movement. if it doesn’t take part in that movement, it cannot just expect people’s votes. we need to start seeing signs that they get that, right about now.
