Provincial New Democrat leader Carole James will solve British Columbia’s economic problems by improving its education system. In a speech to party convention delegates, Ms. James announced she’s “placed education at the top of my agenda to build a sustainable modern economy.” This, despite the fact Mustel Research Group Ltd.’s most recent polling shows education is the top issue of concern for just three percent of British Columbians. Also noteworthy: Ms. James only made a passing reference to green issues in her speech, telling delegates it was a New Democrat government that made British Columbia’s “great environmental leap forward.” And that omission could become a point of contention for some party members.
