Kamloops deserves the best!

Editor's Note - I agree with this item... :)

BC Liberal Party Kamloops-South Thompson BC Liberal candidate Todd Stone is calling on Adrian Dix to release his plan for the upcoming election.

“Adrian Dix has announced who he would hire in the Premier’s Office - but not his plan for British Columbians,” said Stone. “He thinks announcing potential staff is more important than revealing his platform. He's taking voters for granted before the election has even happened."

"Kamloops deserves better.”

When asked by local reporters when he would reveal his plans, Mr. Dix dodged the question by saying, “We’ll be presenting our platform when we present it, but it will be, obviously, well before the election.”

Stone thinks Mr. Dix is simply trying to avoid proper scrutiny.

“The election will begin in just 60 days. Our Premier laid out her vision for British Columbia: exporting clean energy to Asia, creating 100,000 jobs, and establishing the BC Prosperity Fund to eliminate our debt."

"But Mr. Dix continues to offer little in the way of practical solutions to the things people in Kamloops care about.”

Backgrounder:

Dix claims the BC Liberals did not release any plans before the 1996 and 2001 election campaigns, and also that he has released more information on his plan than any opposition leader in B.C. history, but the facts don’t back his position.

When in opposition, the BC Liberals released specific plans for public scrutiny well before the 1996 and 2001 elections.

In 2000, the BC Liberals released a 67-point pre-campaign document that laid out their plan over a year before the election.

In 1996, the BC Liberals had a 16-page document called “The Courage to Change”, released three months before the election.

The Green Party of BC has a living document called the Green Book 2013 which is periodically updated as new policy is adopted. The document is already 33 pages in length.
