Who I Am Voting For And Why :)

The 2013 British Columbia provincial election is one that is full of controversial issues across the board.  I for one will be voting for the B.C. Liberal Party for a number of reasons, these reasons will be covered in the remainder of my blog entry.

The Liberal party has shown a rather large interest in well-being, be that the well being of us as citizens, our environment, or their policies on liquor and marijuana.  The health care policies of the Liberals are very specific and appeal greatly to me, they have shown their interest in investment in a stated intention to invest 2.3 billion dollars into new equipment and facilities in the lower mainland medical community over the next 3 years.  I believe that this will be very beneficial in order to improve the health care system in the lower mainland.  The environment plan is very simple, the Liberals plan to introduce a provincial round table in order to provide balance and protect the environment.  Their plans for liquor is simply to reduce the outdated regulations, and also they have intentions regarding marijuana.

The Liberals have the ultimate goal to take the B.C. economy and find a way to create a debt free B.C. for my generation and our children.  They plan to continue a well balanced budget and keep spending controlled.    They also plan to create 75,000 new jobs as a part of their plans with the Liquefied Natural Gas project.

Another large issue that the Liberals thought was important to touch on was the topic of education.  A part of the liberal plan was to prevent university tuition from increasing by more than 2%, and also to provide the university students of Canada free textbooks.  They also plan to intensify skills training.

The Liberal party is most definitely the best option of the possible parties to vote for.  These are the reasons that I believe that the Liberals are the best choice, there are many more issues that the Liberals have addressed, but these are the ones that have influenced my decision the most.
