"Despite the uncertain outcome, the result did show that a thriving economy and the enviable job creation record that the Liberals boasted was no match for a populace thirsty for change."

Really?
Mason is clearly not living in the same B C I am.
Most BCers have shown for 16 years the only real change they want is making the rich richer, the poor poorer and themselves greedier with tax cut money desperately needed by those on welfare and disability benefits merely to survive.
  This piece by Mason is making a big deal out of nothing much. It;s the same old same old. It's a dishonest attempt to distract from the fact nothing has changed at the top and even less will change at the bottom.
  Despite the attempts by the establishment elite to trumpet the glories of "democracy", this farce is much ado about nothing much.
