Well in spite of the fact I completely reject those usual anti-NDP fallacies, including the plan you but no one else has ever seen, I gotta admit I've never been less enthusiastic about supporting them. Time to toss the bums out, they're the only real choice.
You want to kill all resource development and leave a half built dam, vote Green.
I'm just wondering where the crowd is shouting "Lock her up!" about Christy is after triple deleting emails from the government servers.
We're too complacent here, specially after the crap from down South. Every issue seems small. Most likely another Liberal majority.
So you're saying the NDP's Leap Manifesto is a fallacy and Horgan isn't embracing at least some major parts of it? The only problem with Horgan is that we don't know which ones he's embracing and so it well could be the anti resource sector portion and he just doesn't want to say it out loud.

This raises an important question. Exactly where does NDP leader John Horgan stand on the manifesto? Asked that very question nine months ago, Horgan responded:
“There are elements in the document that make sense and there are elements that make no sense for British Columbia. So, we won’t proceed under any kind of manifesto in the next 12 months under my leadership.”
As we approach the May 9 provincial election, British Columbians need a more specific answer from someone who wants to be premier. What parts of the manifesto does Horgan support?
• The end of use of gasoline and other fossil fuels?
• A ban on all pipeline construction?
• The end of our resource economy?
• Taxpayers funding a minimum salary for all, including those who don’t work?
And does Horgan agree with the manifesto’s plan to scuttle future LNG projects and phase out the mining industry, as many in the NDP demand. Does he agree with the manifesto’s scheme of hiring more civil servants to make up for the jobs lost in the resource sector?
The truth is, we simply don’t know where Horgan stands on the manifesto.
I also think it's pretty telling that one of the major Unions in BC has stepped away from backing their traditional party to stand with the Liberals. A fact which means they've decided that the Liberals are the lesser of two evils.
