Christy Clark, Glen Clark unimpressed with BC NDP government's bend towards business
Nothing quite roils the rank-and-file workforce like the yesteryear boss showing up suddenly professing to possess all the answers.
Just before they did so, this modern complexion was laid before the Business Council of British Columbia summit by its policy vice-president, David Williams, whose early-day presentation made many feel like heading back to bed and curling into a fetal position. They came along for two keynote speeches and fireside chats with little more than four months to the next provincial election, and each brought a basket of prescriptions for their kinfolk. But it would be a stretch to say the ex-leaders sketched out feasible remedies.
He properly recognized the data suggests we are red-lining – believe it or not, some in government don’t – and implored Premier David Eby’s team to shift from “wealth distribution to wealth creation.” Which is to laugh, because the wealth-creation work background in Eby’s cabinet amounts to one, maybe one-and-a-half members. Business is not a dialect it understands, much less fluently commands, and asking social democrats to generate growth can be like asking a fish to skate.
