To the editor:
Like many life-forms, moths become attracted to and disoriented by artificial lights.
One of the most distressing examples of this self-destructive behaviour can be witnessed most evenings in British Columbia. On the TV news, you will likely see a wide-eyed Christy Clark, our premier by default, buzzing about in front of the artificial camera lights.
The premier’s primary responsibility is to run our provincial government, B.C.’s largest single employer, as a sustainable, cost-effective, service-delivery business for the long-term benefit of the people.
Who is most enjoying Clark’s performance as an air-head political celebrity? The answer is pretty obvious: members of the BC Conservative Party.
When an election finally comes, the voters will judge Clark on her accomplishments, not on her synthetic smiles and empty promises.
