These references to the last time they were in power are really getting old. That was a long time ago. It is worth noting that perhaps the most popular living ex-premier (and one of the most popular ever) of the Province is Mike Harcourt who won a landslide in 1991 and it was his government that was re-elected under Glen Clark's leadership in 1996. No one seriously expresses anything about the Harcourt government except that it was good. Likewise, there were many years of good NDP government under Gary Doer in Manitoba.

The NDP, like every party, is capable of good or bad governance. Making predictions about whether John Horgan will provide good government based on what Glen Clark did in the 1990's is ludicrous. We will all have the opportunity to judge them the next time we go to the polls. I'm giving them a clean slate to show that they can provide us the same type of government we enjoyed with Mike Harcourt. If they succeed, they'll have my vote next time. If they don't, they won't
