They literally have no programs or policies related to how to manage in bad times. Where are the job generating programs? Where are the community economic development incentives? They don't exist. The liberals look great in good times and completely incompetent in bad times. Our job losses tell the real story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-79757440636329808142009-04-15T13:59:00.000-07:002009-04-15T13:59:00.000-07:00BC's unemployment numbers are higher than Ontario'...BC's unemployment numbers are higher than Ontario's or any other province.

People talking in hushed voices, glued to CNN or Fox (yikes!). Our host coming home one evening and announcing that the neighbours were moving - they'd just lost everything. Or pointing out how many more stores had closed at the local mall since the week before. There is real fear, everywhere, just under the surface.<br /><br />Coming home to Vancouver was like visiting DisneyLand - really weird. Even talking to family in Ontario is a wake-up call.<br /><br />But I guess that's why they call us La-La Land!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
