George Heyman NDP Candidate "Knocking at my Door"

[tuner]

Quote:Like the states...you can pick a person...but you a picking either a democrat or a republican....


except by American standards the BC Liberals would be considered "moderate democrats" while the NDP would be a
"Marxist Leninist Party".

[tuner]

Heyman, was the boss of the BCGEU, a powerful and greedy BC public sector union, he then resigned and became the honcho of the foreign SIERRA CLUB, a hardcore outfit associated with that little prick, Suzuki. So, as with AH Weaver, quite frankly, I DO NOT trust or believe him.

I also just hate the NDP and despise the Lieberals, might sit this one out........

and there you have it, how incredibly appropriate for an NDP candidate, really couldn't have greater credentials
for a party candidacy, boss of a large public sector union, and then boss of radical environmental group, what further proof do you need to know this clown is full of shit, Bugle?

George Heyman,,well....I think he was honest.
He doesn't want to see any animal just killed for horns, hide or skull.....
I think he is "not" opposed to Grizz hunting....as long as it is used for food as well.


BUT....
It's not just him I would have to vote for...it's the party...and the "PARTY LINE"...

In terms of the grizz hunt, you are being willfully blind to the comments that the PERSON has made. They are far more extreme than the" party line" I'd say when it comes to grizz and trophy hunting.

Totally cool if you have already made up your mind about him and his comments on the grizz hunt, but you don't seem to address those specific comments HE made... Not his party. Him.

Vote NDP if you don't care about the future of our hunting heritage. Period. There is really nothing more to discuss.

We ship crude oil for the same reason we ship raw logs - taxes and environmental regulations are too high to process the product domestically. We ship it across the Pacific Ocean where the pollution gets released so it can blow back and rain down on us, while Asia gets rich and we become poor.

Not to mention that socialist governments tax anyone making money, so nobody will build a mill or refinery here if it won't pay for itself in the same election cycle. They won't buy anything here that they can't move to a more business-friendly jurisdiction when we raise taxes. Look at all the businesses leaving Ontario and Alberta right now. Remember Detroit, Seattle, Los Angeles. If you keep sucking a dry teat, the cow goes away.

I agree with this.

If they get in and build a refinery it would be no different than the Fast ferry scandal. The NDP will do little to no research as to its viability , give the contracts to their crony buddies, itll cost the tax payers more than double its giant budget, then after its complete and not making any money they will sell it off for a few percent of what it cost us, and when they are done in office they will take up a nice cushy high paying executive job at one one of those companies.

Its clear that none of the parties consider putting more $$$ into wildlife management as a clear necessity or view it as a major priority - which is very sad. That said, its time for a change. Enough of Premier Photo Op enriching herself and her fat cat real estate developer buddies. It's gotten out of control and I've had enough of that sh_t. So I will be voting for Horgan (I think he's a good man) who said he will get money out of politics altogether. If he doesn't deliver on that promise, I will vote him out in 4 years. Time for a change!

I never made up my mind....
To be honest....I probably won't waste my time voting.
Spoiling a ballot seems pointless....
If "none of the above" was a choice...I would go...to send a message.
Just wanted to ask and see what this guy was about....seemed legit...but then again...I did ask all on here.
My concerns are about the situation with our "BC Wildlife" and "our BC Hunting Rights and Future".

As for the other.... "economic issues"...and why vote this way or that........wrong forum...and was not my intent.
Don't want to know who is voting for who and why etc....
Just want to know if this guy was as legit as he seemed to be....
Doubt anyone else from any other party will be any more legit.

As for trophy grizz hunting....well that's another thread....
All I can say is this......get it in while you can!!

It is not hard to see that every year that grizz hunting is a "political hot potato"!
Sooner or later it will be "more important for a politician to go with the majority" to get his/her's votes.
(if that ain't obvious...look at the polls)

The only ones that will have hunting one day are the "rich and FN"
And then...just the FN ......( due to being politically correct)

Now that's politics in BC and the future for hunters and BC Wildlife.

Its about time someone started another party in BC.

maybe one focused on enhancing our resources ... Sh't... Bull Moose party?
