The volume of information which has been presented about the national park over the last number of years is more than substantial. It is time for the childish bickering, chicken dancing and political bullying to come to an end. Call for question and have the constituents make a decision.
Using stalling tactics forever, such as, blindness to political realities and other possibilities is meaningless nonsense without definitive statements. I don’t know about other readers but MLA Linda Larson has us wondering as to who is blind about what? By the way, delaying tactics may have brought more people over to the yes side. Keep it up!
The majority of the people with positive concerns for the designated park area know of the necessity and benefits of such a park. So, get on with the process. If the above stimulus and the survey figures are not enough to convince Larson that a significant majority in favour of the park exists, then let’s call for a vote and put an end to this matter once and for all.
Therefore, may we encourage Larson and all those of concern not to allow fear of ballot results or anything else, deny any of our constituents the democratic right to a valid ballot decision. Please let a truly democratic process determine the fate of this Okanagan-Similkameen national park proposal. Thank you.
Lastly, the HST campaign definitely worked. Do we need to use it again on this issue?
