Anyone know if any of the BC candidates are discussing the RHD ban topic?

None that I am aware of, although I make it a point whenever I run into one to ask their opinion on this matter. The usual response I get is that of not having thought about it but on the spot come backs are often tongue in cheek like: "Yes, they are very good in England & Australia but took some getting used to driving on the other side of the road". Personally I find that my options as a voter are virtually none existent. We are given the choice of the "Corrupt Party with the Blue & Red banner" and the "Corrupt Party with the Blue & Orange banner". I see so much irresponsible behaviour on all levels of government. It appears to be no longer about responsible government but more about who can smile better and how to line one's pockets with cash prizes, like on a TV game show, come on down! I believe I will spoil my ballot in a long reaching hope that it registers somewhere & with someone. I would like to see a "None of the above" box on the ballot card, then maybe they would be forced to pay some attention if they counted that 60% of the voters had picked "None of the above"

I think both parties are just too busy smearing each other for all the things they've done wrong or will do wrong that they don't have time for actual issues. I was out driving about the town today and almost every advertising spot on the radio was either about how the Liberals party will drag us through the ditch or the NDP will give everything away. Sheesh!!

Remember, if you don't vote, you can't bitch.

Vote early! Vote often!!

I just got off the phone with Clarie Travena our local NDP MLA, who called me after I asked a campain worker who called last night, and she was not aware of any move to ban our RHD's and said she does not think there is any reason to do so that as long as they are driven safely, like any other car, there is no reason at all why people shouldn't have them. She even made reference to "those 4 wheel drive Mitsubishi vans." I know who I'm voting for tomorrow!

Hey, what about the corrupt party with the Green banner? :-( At least give them an equal chance to screw things up. :?
