What legacy? Sarah what legacy are you talking about? Oh, my apologies, I called you Sarah again. Are you calling gutting education a legacy? Are you calling the sale of BC Rail a legacy? Are you calling the disintigration of BC Hydro a legacy? Selling BC Ferries? Is that a legacy? Secret tolls on highways and bridges is a legacy? If they are then I certainly wouldn't be proud of them.

I think you should go home, grab a pair of binoculars and wait for the clouds to disappear and see if you can spot Russia! Nope the first bit of land is Vancouver Island, look a little further Sarah....oooops Christy.

What a load of b/s. You know you've got a credibility issue when you've lied before you even ran for office. Less than a month ago, when Campbell was being drummed out of office, Ms. Clark was interviewed @ her mic, happily saying "oh, no, I LOVE my radio job & don't need anymore complications" when asked if she would take a shot @ the Lib leader role...PUH-LLLLLEEEEEAAASSSE

Gosh RonS, 10 years on the sidelines sure has made you bitter...it's also confused you about the facts like the "cuts to education", "disintegration of BC Hydro", "sale of BC Ferries" and "secret toll". If you're the best the left has then be prepared for another 10 years in the hinterland.

Face it. The Liberals and the NDP have run out of ideas to make our communities, schools, health care, industry and economyand safety, any better. We have had years of scandals by both of these parties from Bill VanderZalm, to Glen Clark, to Mike Harcourt, to Gordon Campbell, to Carole James and more. Ferry overruns, bingo gate, patio/gate, Fantasy Garden Gate, Convention overruns, 10,000 homeless, DUI gate, and so much more.
Why have these parties gotten into such travel. The answer is simple. The parties work for their power, their contributors interest not the public interest. In doing so they forget their mandate and forget the people are who they are supposed to serve and they will do anything to hold onto power if it is good for the people or not.
Selecting either party, without new direction, new policies and new people joining these parties means we will be electing the best of the worst.
Or we must come up with a new party that has fresh ideas, new blood, and outside of the current political abysss we have experienced for far too long.
