WOW!!! A one day strike.....that`ll send a message. Get off the fence and go all out or get back to work. Where did this one day strike crap come from. Also, it`s not across the board, it is only in selected locations. How ineffective!

This is the result of electing a NDP government in 1972, the one's responsible for bringing in government owned car insurance. Past NDP governments in Saskatchewan and Manitoba also brought in government owned car insurance. Today, B.C. Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, have the highest car insurance rates in Canada. The other 7 provinces can shop the market for their insurance rates just like when we have the freedom to shop and compare with other items such as a car, furniture, or a new roof on the house, etc. In 1975-1976, B.C. taxpayers had to bail out our government run insurance company in the amount $181 million ($645 million in 2006 dollars), just two years after it had begun operations. This money has never been repaid. At the same time, ICBC had been so mismanaged, with insurance being sold significantly underpriced, that the government was forced to increase rates by at least 25%, all because of B.C. taxpayer voting patterns. Cannot blame the NDP, just the taxpayers that go to the voting booth basing their vote on propaganda and not facts and reality, and yet everyone of them gets a maintenace inspection done on homes that they buy. Unbelievable, but true! Always remember, GOVERNMENTS ARE ALL THE SAME! EXCEPT SOME ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
