B.C. Grits take credit for boom

[quote]The governing Liberals patted themselves on the back for a surging economy, with record job growth and private investment streaming back into the province.

The New Democrats cried foul, angry not just about the ad blitz before the province’s May 17 election campaign began, but at the Liberals for taking credit for what the opposition argues is an economic windfall.

It wasn’t tax and red-tape cuts that unleashed British Columbia’s economic engine, they said, it was soaring international demand for the province’s key natural resources - wood, minerals and energy - as well as low interest rates.[/quote]

Isn’t that what a few of us keep saying, that the BCLiberals take credit for stuff they actually didn’t do?

your a dumb Ass was it not the NDP who stopped almost all the logging, and did stop all Minning, and lets not forget oil ang gass exploration.
With the liberals in power Minning has picked up again, Logging is slowly picking up. Theres more work in BC now …all you have to do is look up north to Fort St John there growing leaps and bonds…theres a house shortage there…

Prince Rupert will be growing (not saying becouse of the liberals) look at the houses and land being bought up, with talk of expanding out along the highway…

BC is growing BigThumb more then ever.

A recent report on CBC Newsworld said that it was true that the economic figures were higher but only in the larger centres. The rest were much lower than they had been.

Just like Vancouver getting to vote on whether to use all our tax moneys for their area and the rest of us not being invited to vote. It would have been turned down it the rest of us had been able to vote. That’s all we get from the Libs – a thin veneer of democracy.
