They should be stopped, but only when the poor have enough money to buy food. We need to increase welfare or employ the unemployed. <br />In any event we cannot allow people to starve to death.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998558071715363472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-74673984628600019292015-12-11T17:43:17.816-08:002015-12-11T17:43:17.816-08:00The BC Liberals - in a very Harperman type move - ...The BC Liberals - in a very Harperman type move - have stopped counting the number of homeless turned away from full shelters... so as unsettling as it is to see CC attack food banks at Christmas: it is not surprising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-52217341110572588682015-12-11T11:01:45.752-08:002015-12-11T11:01:45.752-08:00If the food banks closed the B.C. Lieberals still ...If the food banks closed the B.C. Lieberals still would not increase the welfare/disability rates. people, children and adults, alike would just go hungry. Christy may go to church, but if she weren't Premier, I doubt that ass of hers would hit the pew.<br /><br />Currently there are 4 dead kids, who were in care. Have things improved. NO. I would suggest society would not force Christy and her cabal to do anything until there were on average 10 dead kids per month, in care. (then it would be too much bad press to ignore) even if the MSM in B.C. didn't cover it, others would.<br /><br />Christy and her cabal know the welfare rates are much too low as is the min. wage. yet now that she says the province has a surplus, she is going to lower taxes and pay down the debt. Not a word about feeding kids, improving the health care system, etc. She is appealing to her base. she needs contributions to be re-elected. kids can die but as long as she is re-elected along with guys like Fassbender, Coleman, Bond, etc. she will be happy and the kids will just have to die.<br /><br />We saw an news item recently which cited long waits for surgeries due to a lack of specialized nurses and orthopedic surgeons. Yes, she and the health minister tossed a few bucks that way. Then we get an announcement she is giving $100 Million to the Tech industry. Why can't see take that $100 Million and invest it in surgeons and specialized nurses. It certainly would create jobs and alleviate a lot of pain. Christy, in my opinion, gives money to those who give her money. i.e. contributors to the B.C. Lieberal party. Spending money on filing vacancies in health care will not get here those types of dollars.<br /><br />When you look at Norm Farrell's blog, In-Sight he has some very interesting charts and figures about how much money Christy and her cabal are tossing around for mining, oil, gas with declining return for the province. So when Christy says there isn't money for children and others living in poverty she is not telling the truth. Christy simply prefers to spend the money somewhere else.<br /><br />So if you want to close the food banks and get rid of that poverty industry, go ahead, but in my opinion all we will see are people in E.R.s suffering from diseases related to hunger.<br /><br />I find it so "interesting" that each year at Christmas we see the T.V. stations having these events to raise money, gifts, food for "those less fortunate" at Christmas. Come January are any of these media sources doing articles about the poverty in this province or writing editorials about the poverty and poor health care in the province? NO. its back to business, hoping to get more advertising dollars from the provincial government.<br /><br />Sadly the voters of this province aren't much better. I haven't exactly seen a ground swell of support for kids living in poverty. Haven't seen any heads of those big churches out in the Bible belt taking their B.C. Lieberal M.L.A.s to task for the poverty children live in. Guess they figure the kids will get a better deal in the next life or be "saved" if they find Jesus or some sort of shit. <br /><br />I'd really love to see the heads of all the faiths take on Christy and her B.C. Lieberals regarding the poverty children and adults live in, in the province. <br /><br />the B.C. Lieberals can't even ensure children in care stay alive or are in group homes with appropriate care givers. We all saw on the news who some group homes weren't "up to standard". did we see any of those people of faith say anything? Not so much. Just the advocate for children. <br /><br />enough of my rant. Time to write a cheque to the food bank and Christmas charity in the area.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
