Dear Editor,

History has shown that the NDP will always focus on helping big unions rather than people, if they are elected.

An NDP government would not be focused on the economy and would simply scare business and investment away from B.C. This has happened every time an NDP government has been elected in this province, and it would happen again.

NDP governments just want to spend more and more money – your money – and to do that, they will have to increase taxes. That will really hit small and medium sized businesses hard, as it did the last time the NDP governed this province.

In the end, businesses will have to reduce workers’ hours and even lay people off to pay those taxes. It’s a slippery slope that we’ve seen before, and it would not be long before people stop investing in B.C., which would make things even worse for our economy.

So, for anyone considering voting for Adrian Dix and the NDP, think again and ask yourself what it really means for you and your family and for the people of this province.
