Can’t we do better than this?
The recent provincial leadership debate makes me think that there must be better, more articulate people to run our province. Sure, it’s tough to sell yourself in a short, controlled debate but neither of the three party heads handled themselves as well as I would expect. Carole James was typically confrontational and constantly attacking Campbell and his policies, offering little in the way of solutions or party direction. Campbell seemed to be uncomfortable, slightly unsettled and even a bit arrogant at times. Jane Sterk seemed to be…well…slightly odd. Neither seemed to be as articulate as I would expect and the debate seemed to be more about personal attacks than trying to do what’s best for the residents of this province. Perhaps I’ve just been Obamacized but can’t we do better than this?
