That was an awful debate. Some ignored topics include smoke and fire prevention, climate change, and the fiscal cliff for transit funding. We got a lot of sniping, not a lot of substance, on the important issues. Not feeling better about the future of our province after watching that.

I mean, realistically, the big question facing us is how to get the fiscal house back in order in the least disruptive way, while managing all our other priorities, and whatever plans the NDP and Conservatives have for this (if any!) - they certainly aren't telling us.

I’m (obviously) not saying we need the same solutions she proposed, very far from it, but BC really needs a Thatcher-like figure in the sense of a conviction politician unafraid to make bold moves for four years straight while not thinking about re-election.

Everything, imo, is a bit of a mess and we do need some fence swinging on both the regulatory reform and tax reform sides.

I don't think things are that bad, but we just need to have a few years of spending restraint combined with some tax and regulatory reform as you say. But I don't think anything radical is required, just some courage to hold the line for a few years and pay the electoral consequences.
