woke up this morning to find that I can still hunt in BC

The good thing about this discussion is it is being done without the usual personal aspersions. That is something I can appreciate. I stand corrected on the grizzly bear hunt. Was that province wide?
 
BC is broke and the NDP wanted to shut down the only things on the horizon that will generate real funds. NDP planned to kill those projects, and spend. The math didn't work and they didn't get elected.

And yes the NDP closed the Grizzly hunt completely, Province wide, last time in power. They're no friends to hunters and the decision wasn't made based on bear numbers.
 
PS forgive my terse tone, I read my post and realised I was a bit short. Was simply mortified the NDP was going to get in and enact their plans, if one thinks the books look bad now...

The real worry was a party on a spending platform who wanted to attack and shut down the funds generating projects on the horizon, in a province in recession. The austerity measures in the north (we see them too) are because the Province already mismanages and spends too much, NDP wanted to further that plan. Of course, they're only second to the Greens in anti-hunting as well. NDP is a leftist urban centrist party today, that's their support base, they have to please them.
 
Ontario tried NDP once under Bob Rae. We've had disasters but Bob and the NDP were even worse than our current mess---but not much! I'm right wing but well done BC

In BC the liberals are the right actually, odd situation but they have nothing similar with federal liberals
 
Christy Clark can fight. It is not a joke, if NDP won it, their base would be feasting on our tax dollars and get much stronger. So next time would be much much difficult to drive them out of the power as they would have tons of money to campaign.

Thank you, Ms. Clark.

I'm all for stimulating the economy, but selling out our resources at bargain prices and in vast quantities to Asia might help in the short term, but in he longer term I think we are shooting ourselves in the foot. We need to be able to look ahead and not f ourselves over for short term gain. Once it's gone it's gone for good, guess we can buy it back for a hugely over inflated price, you know when we all have our good paying jobs still :). Just wish we had a party that didnt give everything or take everything.

On a side note, I don't think grizzly hunting was closed on the island, damn lazy bastards aren't too keen on swimming over!

Bargain prices? It is world market, everything is for market value, everything is a bargain. I keep hearing NDPers saying that we should keep our resources for blah blah ...., But if we look carefully, they don't want Canada have anything to do with our resources. They are the ones who will do everything to prevent mining, refining, producing our resources.

I am glad NDP was dispatched last night. To my enjoyment, I want to see it repeated every 4 years. I can't have it enough

can't say i am disappointed! things worked out well. a lot of people were really worried about what the outcome was looking to be like. fortunately most people were surprised and things will carry on!
 
I don't recall hunting grizzly bears or anything else mentioned in the election campign, but under the Liberals you can count on kissing hunting goodbye in the Site C site in the Peace River valley and more privatization of forest roads and area closures for private power projects. Hope you're happy with that.
 
You're right, they don't mention it in the election campaign, and they would still unilaterally kill hunts just like last time.

Anyone with the any warmth in their hearts for the NDP needs to examine their record in BC, or any Canadian province for that matter.

You just can't shut down oil and gas projects in a broke province in recession, and spend hard. You're taking away the income and spending money that doesn't exist. It is the same situation in Quebec with the mining royalty increases and frac'ing ban. Coincidentally the NDP is popular in that province too.

I was surprised Arthur Hadland didn't get in.

Pollsters and politicians have one thing in common, they can completely screw up, give the public wrong information, but still keep their jobs! Try that in the private sector.

Happens all the time in private companies, often with little punishment.
