When the leader of the BC NDP pulls up in a 91裸聊视频渟weet bus91裸聊视频� and starts talking about how tough he is, you can91裸聊视频檛 help but get a little bit swept up in the excitement of election season.
NDP Leader John Horgan arrived in Kelowna Thursday with a small army of provincial media in tow and decided to throw down the gauntlet in the land of centre-right, free-enterprise loving politics.
91裸聊视频淚 was on the radio here today in Kelowna, and the host said 91裸聊视频榯hey91裸聊视频檙e doing negative ads91裸聊视频� and I said 91裸聊视频業91裸聊视频檓 shocked. Christy Clark is being negative? I can91裸聊视频檛 believe it,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� Horgan said.
He then went on to list all the many things Clark has said about him.
91裸聊视频淪he called me a hacker, until it was clear I was not a hacker. She said something about me being not tough enough, clearly she didn91裸聊视频檛 see my nose after I was poked in the face playing lacrosse.91裸聊视频�
He91裸聊视频檚 plenty tough, he said. But are the dear, sweet people of this valley? Are NDP supporters strong enough to turn the tides of local history?
One of the women who went to the Deli City cafe Thursday appeared to be. She talked about how she just recently got into a heated political debate with her fellow residents at a local retirement home and when they went too right wing, she was tempted to offer up her right hook. All of this was in jest 91裸聊视频� I think.
What was more serious however is that the gauntlet has been thrown down, the gloves are off and we91裸聊视频檙e going headlong into campaign season.
It91裸聊视频檚 early days, but there91裸聊视频檚 a big chance that this political fight will be less polite than others. It91裸聊视频檚 the way things are going.
When asked when he91裸聊视频檇 be releasing his platform, Horgan joked with reporters that it would be, really big. Great. Everyone will like it 91裸聊视频� or something to that effect.
The Donald Trumpism got everyone in the room laughing, but it also was a reminder of how ugly recent election campaigns have become. The last Canadian federal election had a whiff of nastiness, but our American neighbours really brought it to a new level. One that I hope doesn91裸聊视频檛 make its way here.
So, let91裸聊视频檚 all cross our fingers and wish that these political leaders, however tough they may be, aren91裸聊视频檛 hardened to the idea of civility as they scramble for votes.
Otherwise, let the games begin91裸聊视频攊t91裸聊视频檚 election time.
