Dear Friend,
Politics is about listening.
Gordon Campbell doesn't seem to get this.
That's why his priorities are so out of touch with those of ordinary people in BC.
Take a look at the record:
While the minimum wage hasn't been raised for 7 years -- Campbell voted himself a $65,000 pay raise.
While waitlists for health care grow longer and hospitals dangerously grow overcrowded -- Campbell wasted almost $500 million on out-of-control spending on the Vancouver Convention Centre.
While seniors suffer neglect and abuse in government-funded care homes -- Campbell has gone $175 million overbudget on the Sea-to-Sky highway to Whistler.
While working families pay more for everything from fuel to tuition -- Campbell's Abbotsford experiment in private hospital construction has eaten up $144 million in overruns.
And while Campbell refused to pay $170,000 to counsel sexually-abused children -- he let the Children's Ministry blow $360,000 on glitzy renovations.
I think it's time to make Gordon Campbell listen. To tell him to invest this money in health care and education, not mismanaged projects that benefit Liberal friends and insiders.
That's why I'm excited about Neighbour to Neighbour Day.
On May 24, New Democrats in communities around the province are going to work together to help ordinary people be heard again.
On doorsteps, coffee shops and street corners, we'll be giving everyone a chance to express their hopes and fears about life in BC today and we'll be taking these hopes and fears directly to Gordon Campbell, in the work of our MLAs, in our platform, and in the election campaign.
You know, New Democrats have always worked to bring people together and give ordinary folks a voice.
That's how we changed the world with achievements like public health care, pensions for all, and recognition of the need to protect the environment.
But it's exciting to use new technology to find new supporters, give ordinary people new tools, and build a foundation for the achievements to come.
If you'd like to find out more, visit the Neighbour to Neighbour web site or Facebook group.
There's never been a better time to get involved.
The next election is less than a year away.
The province stands at a crossroads.
Will you have a government that listens to you?
Or a government that refuses to change?
It really is up to you.
Sincerely,
Carole James
Leader,
