Re: Happy to stick with independent, letter to the editor, June 3

I agree completely with Greg Hoover and wanted to add that I have attended the all-candidates meetings for each election Vicki Huntington has been in provincially and have been profoundly disappointed each time by the calibre of the candidates for the two other parties and the lack of simple respect and manners by the Liberal and NDP candidates, in general, but especially toward Huntington.

Their rudeness did not work for me. The scenario Hoover describes in the legislature of the other MLAs drowning out Huntington is beyond juvenile. They should be ashamed of themselves.

I have had an open mind in each election, and continue to, but I certainly will not be supporting anybody who is aligned with our current B.C. Liberals. They are beholden to the real estate industry and make it very clear they value foreign "investment" over actual tax-paying citizens.

Premier Christy Clark's recent trip to Asia with her real estate pals makes that abundantly clear. Their arrogant attitude about the housing situation is alarming and frustrating.

They don't seem to understand that most homeowners are not happy with the huge increase in "paper value," they are worried about where their children will be able to make a life.

The Liberals' lack of concern for children in foster care, people on disability, a general attitude of indifference to anybody but their buddies who attend their "fundraising" lunches and dinners means they will not get my support now or ever. Clark's "Families First" is obviously a very exclusive club.
