Brenda Bailey

Let's take a look at my own writing.

I'm in South Granville where Brenda Bailey had a massive margin, but is not re-offering.

Lara Honrado, who's running in her place, is an excellent candidate, making outstanding MLA, but has only had two weeks, really two and a half weeks to get to know anybody.

So will this riding, what will happen here? It's very difficult to say.

It was difficult, but for many years until the NDP started to build up its vote, oddly enough, with a guy who went off to become leader of the Green Party for a while.

He was in the film industry.

But Brenda Bailey held that, too, until this latest re-division.

And the school that she was most concerned about is now rising out of the ground just as the election begins.

I think it's going to take quite some time to get out of this hole that we're in.

I know Brenda Bailey, I think in a Vancouver Board of Trade event there, she said that she has to coax some of her colleagues there into saying, we've got to generate revenue as well, not just taxation.

We actually have to build some of the revenue cycles.

That seems to be one of the things that we continue to lose ground on, is not just taxation revenue, but actually resource revenue.

to be.

Similarly, former BC NDP finance minister Brenda Bailey also endorsed Rebecca Bly.

And then Unite Here 40, the hotel worker union, endorsed Kareem Alam for mayor, but they hate him, apparently, because they want his council to be four COPE members, three Greens and three Liberals.

Oh, man.

And I've interviewed him in the past, so there's no reason not to do an interview.

And I've interviewed Brenda Bailey a couple times, Ravi Parmar several times, and, you know, He's actually called me and asked for an interview.

So my question is, will the Conservatives allow access to themselves? You know what I mean? Like, with power.

And I know for yourself, I mean, I usually can ask you and you can come in.

Uh, and probably, uh, the voices of people that aren't from the actual campaign, but someone who's endorsed them.

So Mike Harcourt, Brenda Bailey.

Mm.

Um, Tim Stevenson just came out today for Rebecca Bligh.

Let's dive in here, uh, on the endorsement question.

So Jody, um, we're seeing lots of endorsements coming out.

Um, I was in- I thought it was fascinating that Brenda Bailey, the former provincial, uh, finance minister, endorsed Rebecca Bligh.

Um, there's been s- a lot of interesting endorsements this time.

Yeah.

Re- Rebecca Bligh got endorsed by Mike Harcourt, Peter Ladner, Geoff Meggs, Brenda Bailey.

Uh, over the course of the last week, you know, she's been in f- a solid fifth place of the five candidates that we talk about for a long time now.

Yeah.

Now, remember that the NDP government earlier this year put the brakes, they paused and delayed seven new long-term care homes so badly needed, but the government said they were just too expensive.

It was Brenda Bailey, the finance minister at the time.

When we have long-term care beds coming in at an estimated $1.8 billion per bed, it is incumbent upon us to look at how to do this differently, cheaper, and in a way that we can build more beds faster.

That is the work that we're doing to serve seniors.

Right

... regularly deliver these projects faster.

And, uh, if you take Brenda Bailey's number, 1.8 million a bed, for about half the price.

So I don't know why-
