Here's my
synopsis of the televised election debate last light, between BC Liberal Christy
Clark, the Green Party's Andrew Weaver, and John Horgan for the NDP.
Lights --
Cameras -- Action. And then basically
the same thing played out over and over, through-out the 90 minutes.
Christy Clark
Jobs
sickly smile
You'll
add more taxes
Sickly smile
$1.00
a day
Andrew Weaver
(alternate looking Left to Right -- alternately pointing Left to Right)
You didn't do this ...
You
didn't do that ...
You should have done this ...
You should have done that ...
John Horgan (I'll keep smiling not matter what
they through at me)
"If you came to question period more often I could ask you about
..."
"You've never apologized to the kids that
lost a generation of educational opportunity"
Housing ... "Why did you wait so long"
"We have put forward legislation 6 times to
get big money out of politics"
Christy Clark
Jobs

We'll all
have our own opinions of who won, however I believe John Horgan took this
round.
Christy
Clark looked unbelievable, after the first five minutes, because the same sickly
smile never left her face. It left her
looking unbelievable.
Andrew
Weaver looked like a grumpy father from the 50's as he alternately looked, pointed and chastised Christy Clark and John Horgan for 'not doing this' ... 'not
doing that' ... over and over and over again.
John
Horgan at times, looked like a deer in headlights but remained composed as he
brought forward the NDP plan. At the
same time he held Christy Clark accountable for the BC Education system, what he called a lost generation of children, along with huge increases in
housing prices.
There's
less than two weeks to go -- anything could happen between here and then.
Once again Horgan came off as a big buffoon. He even managed to misspeak his line about corporate funded campaigns. Horgan showed no respect for either of his opponents.
ReplyDeleteThe Vancouver Island Horganites must be getting very worried about Weaver's growing attraction to voters in the once sold NDP fiefdom on the Island. If Weaver's Green Party cnadidates win a couple of those ridings, Horgan is very likely going to spend another four years where he rightfully belongs - in opposition.
