NDP will likely have some of their worst results in the upcoming election as they are the primary reason the libs maintained power, while at the same time, almost accomplishing nothing they based their partnership on

He is clearly out of touch, I know that in construction the NDP has brought in some programs where certain projects with Provincial funding have to be done through the Union. It's a weird policy because these projects can be bid by any contractor union or not but when working on these projects all the employees on site have to temp. join a union, pay dues at set union rate. It's a really weird program because all your labour gets paid by BCIB, you then pay them. They are also responsible for providing you with 50% of your workforce so you can only use half your regular guys for a project, it's so strange and honestly a ton of risk for the contractor using such a large chunk of labour that your directing but didn't hire.
These projects are going to cost taxpayers somewhere around 30%-35% more than if done traditionally, if that doesn't scream pro labour not sure what does.
