I would like to see a voting system that does guarantee
proportionality. The East, especially Ontario and Quebec, seem to
get all the goodies that our tax dollars pay for. They also
virtually dictate who will be Prime Minister. It makes me feel that
BC is just here to give up our wealth and natural resources to the
Eastern provinces; who used up there resources long ago. We are not
getting much of anything from confederation. Right now we have the
highest unemployment and lowest wages in Canada, but we have most
of the natural resources that spell wealth. Do you think something
might be wrong with this picture? It's sad that we have to
practically beg the Federal Government to send us back some of our
tax dollars so that we can fund health care and education. We need
to have a stronger voice in how this money is spent. We need to
have a Prime Minister from the west.
