As the photo caption states:
To fight crime, Mr. Campbell said he will introduce "new legislation to require those arrested with outstanding warrants from other provinces to be immediately returned to those jurisdictions."
Well in my Opinion if Premier Campbell was serious about crime, why wait until after the election?
We have a serious issue in this Province, and enticing votes in order to safeguard our lives against the criminal element Reeks of Political Ransom! In other words Vote for "Premier "Vito Don" Campbell or I'll let the criminals rule the Roost!
Well "Mr. Premier Snot Nosed Scammer" I wasn't born Yesterday, and neither were the voters of BC!
VANCOUVER -- Under a new B.C. Liberal government, criminals with arrest warrants from outside British Columbia will be denied income assistance and other provincial benefits until they deal with their problems from back home.
This promise is contained in the B.C. Liberal Party election platform released in Vancouver Wednesday morning by Premier Gordon Campbell.
Focusing heavily on his party's approach to the economy -- but also addressing issues such as crime and seniors' care -- the platform outlines what Mr. Campbell calls "six pillars for a strong B.C."

But Barry that is not how elections work. If you got everything done the masses have no reason to vote for you.
Imagine the slogan "Vote for the BC Liberals! They have done all they promised to do and now they just want paycheques".
I am reminded of a truly honest politician named Barry as well. His last name was Goldwater. He said this:
"“I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ``needed'' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents "interests,'' I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.”
We need a little of his spirit today.

Yeah, but not in Vangroovy, where our citizenry all scream their little coulettes off that they want less government and less government interference in their daily lives. Of course when the economy hit the sh*tter, Vancouverittes want Government to bail their sorry asses out. Seems hypocritical to me, sort of like Teens who want independence to do what they want without parental interference, until they need money, or the car keys, then its DAD!!!!!!!!
