Well, Dave Barrett is out
stumping the Province, these
days ... telling the people that
they don’t understand his
government. We're really the
good guys, he says, it’s the
press and those nasties in the
opposition who are making up
stories about us ... there's
nothing unusual in our spen-
ding, he says. There’s no need
to respond to all the stories.

Well, we don't expect the
Premier to respond to sloties
either ,., bul we do expect him
to respond, and damn soon, lo
hard facts, that shaw that his
management of the finances of
this province is a total disdsler
.. and to hard facts ‘that in-
dicate clearly thal practically
every department in govern-
mentis going ta be overspent by
massive amounts,

If there is one thing thal Dave
Barrett has proved conclusively
in his two years in office... itis
that the job is toe big for him...
he can'thandle it- and you andI
as laxpayers are paying the
penalty for his incompetence.

If Dave Barrett has any
decency ... if Dave Barrett
really cares for this province he
should step aside right now ...
callan election .,, let the people
decide .. and I'll lay odds

that the people vote’ over-.

responsibility to this great
Province. :

more incompetent -. ad-

British Columbia,
Heading the list: is the
government's mismanagement
of tlie economy in general. 1
don't wanl lo be labeled one of
the ‘doom and gloom’ boys, but’
nelther.do I wish lo see the
Province thal 1 love destroyed.
by a Social Worker who let his
ideology blind. him to the
realities of fiscal responsibility.
The budgel that Finance
Minister Barrell presented lo
the Legislature last spring was
a totally dishonest document ...
a document based on an
inherited economy, planned and
developed by previous govern-
ments, Anda document based .
on inflation and an extremely
buoyant forest industry market.
Well the bollom fell out of the
forestry markel, as most
__ everybody told the government
it would ... and Barrett has
offered no solid foundation to
continue to build a managed
economy. But is, in fact, living
from payday to payday ... and
pulling nothing away for the
fulure lo ensure that needed
social programs can be con-
linued aver the long haul. This
governmenl seems lo be
building cur economy ona cloud
of promise ... a promise thal
will. be ‘repossess if we don't
back it with seme firm
collaleral. _
How hypocritical it was of
Premier Barrett to be down in
“Toronto a few weeks ago telling
the Prime Minister that he must
gal inflation undér control on a

National basis while his actions ©

al home are fanning the flames
of inflation -on a. scale un-
matched anywhere on the
continent, What a colosal gall
he has .... preaching restraint
with a straighl face while he
guides his Cabinet through the
“wildest spending spree in ou
history. _
For these reasons alone ... the

Premier ‘should call an elec- -

- tion... bul there's more ,.. much

more, Cte

There’s lhe alarming. growth
of the bureaucracy that shows
no signs of slowing down, Week
