Voting NDP is NOT a hopeless cause

[szw]

jeez NDP people have so much anger!

WTF? Don't talk about BC politics if you know absolutly NOTHING about it. NDP is back in the lead in the polls, probably because people realized that the liberals fucked everything up and didn't do anything they promised.

the premier of this province told homeless people that they're useless, lazy and they should get a job, and he's a fucking ALCOHOLIC. yeah he's one to preach, and so are the rest of you. sad sad world we live in.

He actually quit drinking.

He also took the Alberta debt from $20 Billion to $3.4 Billion. The NDP would probably have Alberta even deeper in debt with very little to show for it in the end.

fuck they should have a survey to see what percent of alberta's population, especially Calgary is from BC and Saskatchewan

There are quite a few from Manitoba and Ontario as well. Its amazing what happens when you dont punish people for working hard and you dont give people (disabled exempt) raises for collecting a welfare cheque or for working a minimum wage job.

Your little survey about where Albertans originally come from is completely meaningless. Manitoba (with its NDP government) had the largest population growth of 2003. How do you explain that? Perhaps it's our low cost of living, the fact that students come here for the great government support or maybe it's because we know that the NDP cares more about communities that companies.
The Human Rights Museum is just one example.

"Human Rights Museum, biggest in the world"

that just became LAST in list of museums that I would vist (way behind the gopher museum in Torrington)

It's really too bad that some people feel this way. Not only is the Human Rights Museum going to be a great educational tool, it will also bring huge revenue to Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canada. A hostel is also being built beside this world class building. The Museum is expected to bring over 100,000 people per year, many of whom will be students travelling to open their minds.
The fact that you'd rather visit a gopher museum says a lot. No wonder you're conservative.

This will be a $60 Million dollar project blocks away from the poorest and scariest area of Winnipeg. Hopefully that doesnt scare away the tourists that plan on visiting the museum.

I think that $60 Million would go a long way in repairing Winnipegs crumbling infrastructure or go into the health care situation that Gary Doer has yet to even start fixing. Even though he promised it in his election campaign 6 years ago.

As for Manitoba having the largest increase in 2003 I would really like to see where you got that statistic from.

As for low cost of living, Winnipeg has had recently had a huge housing boom lately. This has caused housing prices to skyrocket in the past year. For you this must be a problem, so are companies supposed to start paying more to compensate for the increase in the cost of living? How do you expect them to do that if the government keeps taxing them so heavily?
