Provincial Liberals and NDP call for an extended Holiday
| Message Board > Controversy and Quarantine > Provincial Liberals and NDP call for an extended Holiday |
| Mace User Info... |  If it were up to me, all of these taxpayer paid, noveau riche Politicians would be back, hard at work, instead of 'living it up,' a big holiday in my taxpayer books. The Liberals say, 'there is nothing they need to be taking time up in the Legislature to or fro,' of orientating their lazy-asses back to work. You think they aren't going to be paid while they're not in office... Well guess again! Notice how, none of the NDP has challenged the idea of calling off the fall session of the Legislature, since they are the opposition. There is no 'opposition,' to taking care of the Province's affairs. Only, a big taxpayer funded romp on taxpaying humps. It's FUN!!! Killer Whales aren't good enough, to hang around, the CONSERVATIVE Fed's cut funding to Tourism, in which case the protest to seeing how- the Premier himself will take it to the shores of Hawaii instead of spending his money at home here in the Province, and his fascination of marine-biological studies of 'Humpback Whales' instead. Maybe, once he's bored of the 'Humpbacks' he'll discover African Safaris- a fall 'Camel Ride' all the meanwhile, thinking of his fellow BC-ers as the one~, he's 'Taking the RIDE ON!?!' - Mon, 2 Oct 2006 12:19pm | ||
| Mace User Info... |  THE BC GOVERNMENT IS A STRAWMAN GOVERNMENT! for a ref. see----> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Straw-man So, today, I get this "WHAT CHOICES WOULD YOU MAKE?"- BUDGET CONSULTATION PAPER http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/budgetconsultation/budgetbrochure.pdf And here I am, looking up the Legislative Assembly of BRITISH COLUMBIA- Apparently it's NOW in the hands of ALL OF US Gulliable People in the Province, that we are lead to believe we're running 'the show,' here while they're away. (Like I'm supposed to believe [in the mail-out guide], that these romper-roomesque pie-charts account for all of the Province's spending?) You know it'd make it a lot easier if these people would just show up and perform what is, that they're paid to do by us. Here they are hounding the public to do 'what is classified as their work'. And making them believe, they're actually the ones able to make the difference! Well, you know what I have to say about this? THEY ARE OUT TO ABUSE YOUR "I-L-L-U-S-I-O-N"!!!! ______________________________ http://www.leg.bc.ca/budgetconsultations/ YOUR CHOICES, YOUR PRIORITIES Q.1 There are always more demands placed on the public purse than we can meet. That means if we want to spend more in one area, we must find ways to spend less somewhere else. Where do you think the budget should spend more? And to pay for it, where do you think the budget should spend less? Q.2 When creating a budget, it is necessary to choose between many worthy and important options. How would you prioritize the following? Please rank the following items from 1 to 11, with 1 being the most important to you and 11 being the least: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Better access to social housing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Protecting the environment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Strengthening the economy and our standard of living 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Tax reductions 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 New or expanded programs and services 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Reducing borrowing and debt 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Protecting people and property 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Educating our children and young adults 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Faster access to health services 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Improving assistance for people in need 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Building infrastructure like roads, schools and hospitals Q.3 British Columbia is growing. We must build and upgrade infrastructure such as roads, schools and hospitals to meet the needs of a growing population and a strong economy. The Province borrows money to help fund new construction projects. How much we build affects how much we need to borrow and the Province’s debt. What choices would you make between investing in infrastructure and managing British Columbia’s debt? Please select the appropriate button below to indicate the statement you agree with most. Please choose only one response. It's important to invest in our infrastructure, regardless of how much we need to borrow. It's important to invest in our infrastructure, but we need to limit our borrowing and keep debt affordable. We shouldn't borrow any money; instead, we should pay higher taxes for infrastructure projects. We shouldn't borrow any money; instead, we should postpone or cancel infrastructure projects. We shouldn't borrow any money; instead, we should cut programs and services to fund new infrastructure projects.
