Dear Editor:
A couple of your contributors are way off base in their opinions. Let's look at the opinion of Trevor Ritchie, who suggested the City of Burnaby fund child care but admits that child care is a provincial responsibility. Can you imagine the joy the Liberals would feel at the thought of downloading yet another of their responsibilities onto the municipalities, so they can then dream up even more bizarre ways to waste taxpayers' money? Bottom line is that child care is a provincial responsibility, they collect taxes to pay for it, so insist they properly fund it.
Then we have Michael Taylor who has the nerve to suggest that Christy Clark and her roving band of misfits cares about the children of B.C., when the truth is all they really care about is hanging onto power, even if it means lies, cover-ups and deceptions to accomplish that.
To suggest she has shown the people of B.C. she believes in balanced budgets is bizarre and asinine considering the Liberals aren't even honest enough to include the massive debt B.C. Hydro finds itself in. I'm referring to the deferred debt the auditor general has indicated should be shown on the province's books as a liability.
Instead, they continue to pretend that all is right in B.C., when the majority of people in B.C. know perfectly well it's anything but close to being all right, hence the Liberals' present standings in the polls.
Wayne McQueen, Burnaby
