When the leader of the BC NDP pulls up in a 香蕉视频直播渟weet bus香蕉视频直播� and starts talking about how tough he is, you can香蕉视频直播檛 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.
香蕉视频直播淚 was on the radio here today in Kelowna, and the host said 香蕉视频直播榯hey香蕉视频直播檙e doing negative ads香蕉视频直播� and I said 香蕉视频直播業香蕉视频直播檓 shocked. Christy Clark is being negative? I can香蕉视频直播檛 believe it,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈 Horgan said.
He then went on to list all the many things Clark has said about him.
香蕉视频直播淪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 didn香蕉视频直播檛 see my nose after I was poked in the face playing lacrosse.香蕉视频直播�
He香蕉视频直播檚 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 香蕉视频直播� I think.
What was more serious however is that the gauntlet has been thrown down, the gloves are off and we香蕉视频直播檙e going headlong into campaign season.
It香蕉视频直播檚 early days, but there香蕉视频直播檚 a big chance that this political fight will be less polite than others. It香蕉视频直播檚 the way things are going.
When asked when he香蕉视频直播檇 be releasing his platform, Horgan joked with reporters that it would be, really big. Great. Everyone will like it 香蕉视频直播� 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 doesn香蕉视频直播檛 make its way here.
So, let香蕉视频直播檚 all cross our fingers and wish that these political leaders, however tough they may be, aren香蕉视频直播檛 hardened to the idea of civility as they scramble for votes.
Otherwise, let the games begin香蕉视频直播攊t香蕉视频直播檚 election time.
