Torn

As I drive along listening to my car radio I repeatedly hear the provincial government’s radio advertisement to inform people of the rent subsidy program for families whose income falls under $35,000.

Listening to these ads I am torn.

I am glad for those the Province chooses to help and that the government has recognized at least this limited acknowledgement of the cost of housing and the level of need/poverty in British Columbia.

Unfortunately the government continues burying its head in denial of the reality of the higher levels of poverty and need their ideology denies.

Worse is that this denial appears to be driving the few provincial Liberals who have removed their ideological blinders and opened their minds and eyes, enabling them to see the desperate levels of need, to leave the government in frustration over party leaderships blind insistence on continuing to deny a Reality they have no wish to see.

Perhaps Mr. Campbell could explain what makes some BC residents worthy of his governments aid and others unworthy of help in recovering their lives?
