Editor, the Rossland Telegraph:
I want to be wrong about this. I am only half certain. I think the BC NDP are heading for a defeat.
Premier Horgan has watched New Brunswick's election result and drawn a conclusion, but he is wrong about British Columbians. We are not tolerant of crude political tactics to sustain his power by an election one year ahead of...
