I would like to thank Mr. Simpson for his service, I do not support the Liberal government and hope it is held to the fire for its promises, as we witnessed Mr. Campbell's lies spill forth. If we hear so much of a whisper of HST, let our voices be heard. We needed a change in BC. But unfortunately change is feared as of today. I ask the premier of BC to look at our provincial health care, and to amend and repair the damages done by our former "leader". I can only help that come next election our provinces fears subside, and changes are made where they are long past due.
