It’s
day seven, and it’s time to look back at this week’s opinion / editorial pieces. I hope many caused you to stop and think, to
consider where you stand on issues, to give some a second look, and perhaps one
or two simply confirmed your position.
Regardless,
if you missed any, here are the top 10 most read articles ... take a few minutes
today to catch up on them. Here we go
... starting with #10
BONUS
post ... this one, from Aaron Gunn, zipped into 11th place after
only being posted yesterday afternoon:
AARON GUNN: I honestly
don’t even know where to begin ... but let’s start with the colossal hypocrisy
#10 FELDSTED:
The real issue, which the Prime Minster refuses to
address, is whether or not we want to allow political interference in the
administration of justice
#9 ANDERSON: After setting himself up as the heroic white
knight, Justin Trudeau now finds himself in the unenviable position of having
to attack a highly credible aboriginal woman to save his own privileged, white,
male skin
#8 FORSETH: BC
Government say the amount of carbon tax paid in
BC will vary depending on family consumption and household use of fuels for
heating, cooking and transportation.
Vary indeed – that’s certainly putting it mildly!
#7 ADAM OLSEN: Layers of “this is how we have always done it”
insulates us from the peril of having to think about "how we can do it
better?" Or even, "who do we serve?"
#6 FORSETH:
While the BC government states that, removing impediments to trade create a safer and more dependable business
environment for investors, interprovincial trade remains tangled in
protectionism
#5 Jamie Maclaren, QC: “It is time to move beyond speculation and anecdotal information in
redesigning legal aid services”
#4 FORSETH:
While an increase of 20 minutes a day might not seem like a lot to us,
for those in our senior’s care homes, that time could be the difference in
helping them continue feeling like a valued member of society
#3 ROTHENBURGER: The
rumble in Ottawa is now officially a he said-she said situation. Butts testimony presents very different picture of JWR affair
#2 HEALTH: “What contagion does thus
invade the whole body, so much resist medical art, becomes inoculated so
readily, and so cruelly tortures the patient”
And
finally, this story had the most people have a read. I had the inspiration to write it after knowing
what the cost of living increases have been for BC families ... and after the NDP’s
Bruce Ralston starting crowing about the BC labour force. A look at both, actually, gives a better
indication of how British Columbians are indeed doing:
#1 FORSETH: All I
can say is if that’s how maintaining a strong economy, and putting people first
works, I’m not so sure those of us living in BC will be able to afford much
more of it
