This NDP provincial government doesn't appear to be doing very well. There's too much going on that shouldn't be and too little being done where it's needed. Grandstanding, photo ops, catchy phrasewords, and claiming the moral high ground, it turns out, comes with a large price tag attached and just like all socialism, it works until the money runs out. Here in Tofino we see it first, of course, in the health care system. Three weeks wait time at the clinic, two weeks at the lab, stressed out overworked staff, horrid relationships between medical professionals and government bureaucrats (kept hidden from the public as much as possible), appalling health care for the public. And this is the home seat of the Minister of Health! Next election Tofino will probably vote NDP again. You can't make this stuff up.
