During the last few weeks, the citizens of B.C. have been deluged by government announcements on everything from Sparwood infrastructure improvements to Uber. There really seems to be something for everyone. Like a PNE hawker, the government is appealing to the widest possible market.
There have been announcements on technology skills, seniors’ care, affordable housing, grants galore, something for food processors, more ambulances and paramedics, B.C. farmers’ markets and a new hospice in Langley.
This week, Premier Christy Clark says she’s launching a panel (after the election) to look into political donations and, last week, her government heralded a new law to be introduced requiring bureaucrats to document key government decisions — which begs the question of why they weren’t before.
And that’s not even taking into account the full-court press of government advertising, which is Clark and Co. spending our money to tell us what we paid for with our money.
Next week we expect to get an announcement about a commission on government bribing its own taxpayers with taxpayer money. We only wish.
