It's a bit late form Mr. Obee to suddenlt stae the obvious. But he can always say" I told you so" Too bad he hadn't bothered to tell us a couple of months ago.

Mr. Obee has been sounding the alarm for several months now, well prior to the election.

Hopefully the government takes his gracefully worded "out" and doesn't plunge us ever deeper from a recession into a full-blown depression (a la PM Bennett's misguided approach in the 1930s)

Not wishing to appear argumentative about just what Mr. Obee and the T/C had to say, But. We are seven days a week subscribers to that paper, and yes their editorial page didn't endorse any party. However I can't recall dire warnings of things to come. Mind you the T/C appears abit short of columnists. The T/C claims to be so short of news, they decided to not print on Mondays but still charge their customers for all seven days. Nice to live in a town with one newspaper.
