In my freely expressed opinion, Premier John Horgan has always seemed the type to favour the dystopian political mind control displayed in George Orwell鈥檚 book 1984.
We seem to get more and more of this at all political levels, another example being federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, who booted Senator Lynn Beyak from caucus because of some residential-schools comment not considered politically correct.
I think most of the public prefers to know what their political representatives think, not what scheming party leaders tell them to think. Some of the machinations around proportional representation should also be closely scrutinized.
