Claws Are Coming Out!

Our provincial election is coming up in May. Liberals or NDP, ya you get to decide, thats if you get your ass up to even vote. Dont even get me started on how low the Fernie Municipal voter turnout was.
Anyway, I'll save that rant for later....
I noticed some TV commericals have already been popping up that discreetly mention not to vote liberal. They sure do have their points. Point taken.
However, dont forget what our local MLA has been up too. I personally really like Mr. Bill Bennett, who is also the Minister of Tourism. I have personally asked him questions (who can say that??) about coal bed methane, tourism and why things are the way they are. He ALWAYS has treated me and my questions with respect and his replys have left me informed and enlightend on many topics. His office is totally open to you too. Inside of bitching on the side lines, I suggest you get informed first.
Just a couple things the BC Liberals have done for our area alone since they had to clean up the province after the NDP:

-The expanded Canadian Rockies International Airport;
-A $34 million expansion of our regional hospital and 35 new specialists;
-A $16 million expansion of College of the Rockies;
-The fix of the deadly Steamboat Hill;
-Hundreds of thousand$ into eco system restoration of our natural grasslands;
-The best invasive plant prevention program in BC;
-The East Kootenay Angling Management Plan;
-The Southern Rocky Mountain Management Plan;
-My private member's bill, "the Heritage Right to Hunt and Fish";
-Rennovations to the Fernie Arena;
-Millions in infrastructure for Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford;
-New high school in Sparwood.
-Additional funding for Kootenay Rockies Tourism;
-Fernie's Resort Municipality status;
To name a few things.

Keep informed.

Shout Out to Bill Bennett! (Did you know he was a chamber President for two years in Cranbrook. He grew up in a small business family and owned a small business himself - a wilderness lodge) Bill.Bennett@gov.bc.ca
