Re: 鈥淪tudy citing high auto insurance cost in sa国际传媒 deemed to be misleading,鈥� March 21.
sa国际传媒 Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson really believes the NDP is at fault for 46 years of overpriced vehicle insurance in sa国际传媒?
I suggest that between the Social Credit and Liberal governments, of which his was the last 16 years, there was far more manipulation of the books than by the current government. ICBC, sa国际传媒 Ferries and sa国际传媒 Hydro have been treated like an overdraft account by his party during the 16 years of Liberal rule before the current NDP/Green alliance.
During the reign of the previous Liberal government, money was stripped from these profitable corporate entities to create the illusion of a balanced budget. User fees were put in place to cover the shortfall of funds, all under the guise of 鈥渨e have reduced your income tax level.鈥�
I am not a staunch NDP supporter, but at present I am standing in the middle of a cattle field and Wilkinson鈥檚 story smells about the same.
