I didn’t believe this when I first saw it but it’s actually, unbelievably true. BC’s NDP govt says we shouldn’t use the term ‘British Columbians’ because it is ‘exclusionary.’ People are living on streets & dying on waitlists and the NDP is spending our taxes on this nonsense.

The BC NDP's 'Anti-Racism' ideology: One respondent suggested that "what reduces racial tension & increases interpersonal harmony is promoting openness & people spending time with people who are different from themselves." This is coded as “denialism,” sub-category: “naivete.”

One of the many reasons @voteBCUnited ’s plan for the biggest tax cut in BC history makes sense. Not only will it let folks keep more of their own $ during an affordability crunch, it’ll also force the NDP’s largesse (which has achieved the worst results ever!) to be reeled in.

For those who don’t think you can cut government spending without shuttering hospitals and schools - take a gander at the fat, bloated, overstuffed payroll of the NDP gov some time. This is just a small slice. You could save millions by taking a hatchet to political largesse.
