It must have been tough for Clark and the BC Liberals to promise to create a poverty reduction plan for BC - the only province that does not have such a plan. For 16 years the BC Liberals have demonstrated that they hate the poor. I guess that in the desperate hours before they lose power they have decided to dirty their hands and come up with some false promises to try and squeeze future votes from the citizens they spat on for so long.

Why would anyone believe a word of these new promises? During the recent election campaign the Liberals tried to paint the NDP leader as "say anything John". I think it is safe to say we should remember the Clark government as "promise anything/deliver nothing Christy" after this cynical bid to cling to power for the sake of power alone.
