Can Christy Clark be trusted to bring the type of change that British Columbians are clamouring for? Even her own colleagues seem to have their doubts:

• George Abbott: “More and more, it's abundantly clear that Ms. Clark's positions are simply not credible, and it shows that she has no real plan for our province, our economy or our families. On these significant issues, the public wants certainty and clarity, not more double-speak and misdirection.” (Press release, Feb. 2, 2011).

• Kevin Falcon: “Glib, off-the-cuff comments might make for good ratings on a talk show, but if you want to be leader of our party and Premier of our province you have to know that your words have power.” (Press release, Feb. 1, 2011)

• George Abbott: “Christy Clark does not know rural B.C.” (Campaign letter, Feb. 4, 2011)

• Kevin Falcon: “I think there is a little bit of a 'ready, fire, aim' approach that's sort of taking place.” (Vancouver Sun, Feb. 3, 2011)

• Bill Bennett: “Frankly she’s also kind of cut from the same cloth as Gordon Campbell. There’s a little too much spin and razzle dazzle. I think over the two-year period, what Christy has going on is, perhaps, not sustainable.” (Globe and Mail Update, Jan. 07, 2011)

• Bill Bennett: “God. I hope we're not into another [Bill] Vander Zalm situation.” (Globe and Mail, Feb 28, 2011)

• John van Dongen: “There’s a reason, and a legitimate reason, why virtually all of the caucus worked for [Falcon or Abbott]… They know these people, and there’s a reason why almost all caucus support gravitated to two people.” (Globe and Mail, Feb. 26, 2011)

• Rich Coleman: “She'll do okay in the job.” (The Tyee, Feb. 26, 2011)

B.C.’s New Democrats are offering real change British Columbians can trust, with compassionate, fair and pragmatic solutions to address B.C.’s social, economic and environmental challenges.
