The provincial election campaign is underway in Delta South. There are numerous issues up for discussion, including jobs, the economy, health care, port expansion and the future of the George Massey Tunnel. Independent incumbent Vicki Huntington faces challenges from Liberal Bruce McDonald and the NDP's Nic Slater. The Optimist asked:
Brian McCarron
Only one? I would say tunnel traffic.
Pat Young
Keeping the debt down.
Robert Backman
With Christy Clark, it's all about debt and with Adrian Dix, it's about spending. So it's a question of are we going to save or are we going to spend? That seems to be the main issue, as I see it anyway.
Glenn Kirkwood
The big issue for me is trust, integrity and more public consultation on issues.
Dan Tius
I have a few. Of course, [I'm] concerned about the economy. I don't trust the NDP will do the right thing with the economy but the people that have been in haven't been doing the right thing for years.
