BC NDP leader John Horgan likes his party香蕉视频直播檚 chances in the Central Okanagan, despite its unsuccessful political record.
香蕉视频直播淭he candidate we have running (in Kelowna West) against our political vagabond premier, who ambled into town a few years ago, has deep roots in the community,香蕉视频直播� said Horgan at a Thursday morning town-hall meeting that had more members of the media in attendance than the public.
香蕉视频直播�(Shelley Cook) is well respected and well regarded and I am confident in her chances.香蕉视频直播�
He said he felt similarly about the other two Central Okanagan candidates who joined him.
Harwinder Sandhu, the candidate for the Kelowna Mission riding is a healthcare professional 香蕉视频直播渨ith a good understanding of the issues in the area,香蕉视频直播� he said.
Erik Olesen, the candidate for Kelowna Lake Country, is the party香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播測outh proxy (and) demonstrating that B.C. is a continuum of seniors and young people.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 very excited about our three candidates here and I香蕉视频直播檓 very excited about our prospects,香蕉视频直播� Horgan said.
The Central Okanagan has often been called the 香蕉视频直播渃radle of free enterprise香蕉视频直播� and the electorate has never sent a BC NDP member to Victoria.
When Clark lost her own riding of Vancouver Point-Grey in the July 2013 provincial election, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that she would head to valley and she did. During the Kelowna West by-election, she won with 62.8 per cent of votes. Her NDP competitor Carole Gordon was second, earning only 29.66 per cent of the vote.
Fellow BC Liberals, Steve Thompson in Kelowna Mission and Norm Letnick for Kelowna Lake Country each won their ridings during the election by 56 per cent.
That, said Horgan, doesn香蕉视频直播檛 mean there won香蕉视频直播檛 be change.
香蕉视频直播淚 come from Vancouver Island that has a rich tradition of electing social democratic,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚t becomes habit forming 香蕉视频直播� we had a discussion last night with people saying I always voted Socred or Liberal because my grandparents did, and the answer that Shelley offered was 香蕉视频直播榳hy don香蕉视频直播檛 you vote NDP for your kids or your grandkids?香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈
Changing entrenched behaviours, he said, will be the only way to bring needed improvements to the area.
香蕉视频直播淲hat did Einstein say? 香蕉视频直播業f you keep doing the same things over and over again you香蕉视频直播檙e going to get the same results,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 believe the people of Kelowna are ready and willing to vote for people who are going to work for them.香蕉视频直播�

Across every corner of B.C., he said, people are tired of a government that香蕉视频直播檚 ignoring and neglecting them.
香蕉视频直播淲e have candidates that are living, breathing examples of that and I know the people around this table and the people in Kelowna want to have someone that香蕉视频直播檚 going to roll up their sleeves and work for them, not just the people who go to the big fundraisers,香蕉视频直播� he said.
The brief morning event was a clear sign that the election campaign was well underway, despite the fact the writ had yet to be dropped. That was something Horgan didn香蕉视频直播檛 shy from.
香蕉视频直播淧eople said to me, 香蕉视频直播榳hy are you starting so early?香蕉视频直播� and I said 香蕉视频直播ο憬妒悠抵辈Christy Clark only knows one speed and that香蕉视频直播檚 campaign speed,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 he said. 香蕉视频直播淪he hadn香蕉视频直播檛 been governing and she hasn香蕉视频直播檛 been taking care of issues that matter to the people. So, we rolled out a pretty sweet looking bus a couple of days early and all of a sudden this is revolutionary.香蕉视频直播�
Horgan said he intends to speak with the electorate in their own communities 香蕉视频直播渦napologetically.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e not going to run away and we香蕉视频直播檙e going to lay out a platform that speaks to the need of communities and I香蕉视频直播檓 excited about it,香蕉视频直播� he said.
When that platform will be released and in what fashion it may be distributed has yet to be revealed.
At the meeting, however, he focused his attention on seniors and families. Thousands of seniors are on wait lists for affordable housing, with waits for subsidized seniors housing taking longer than two years, he said.
He also said they have a plan to start $10 a day childcare. It香蕉视频直播檚 something, he said, that would help all seniors
