Dave Hayer and BC Politics and NOW Canadian Politics

Dave Hayer and BC Politics and NOW Canadian Politics

Lot of people have vision and a plan to do something constructive, no matter at what level they are functioning in the society. Some people function without vision or may be they have their own so called vision which may be self serving in nature.

People run in politics for various reasons. But to me most important and valid reason is serve the community to make some positive changes. Some run in politics because they got break through first time by luck and later it becomes their necessity! Why? What else they will do? How they are going to pay their household bills?

Some serve the  country and the community and some serve the party and some serve themselves! And this scale decide how dedicated elected officials we have in the parliament or assembly who are running the government and planning the future of the community.

Self serving elected officials are there, but they are not there to serve you, they are there to collect a paycheck every month from tax payer's pockets. Those you serve the party are mostly "Yes" persons, which may be detrimental during very critical and crucial decision making votes. They simply say "Yes" to party decision regardless it is good or bad decision. On top of the scale are the elected officials who represent country and community and they do not settle for vested interests of their party or their own.

It is up to the constituents to decide who is the best. At one point it was heard that Dave Hayer is out of politics due to some personal reasons. Now all of sudden he changed his mind! I like to hear from Mr Hayer about his achievements from 2001-2013. Even though I am not from his constituency but being acitizen I have right to ask what have he done for the BC community in past?

What he is going to do in future for community and why he want to go for federal politics? I understand if he get elected he will contribute one yes vote for his party in Canadian parliament just like in BC assembly. But other than a Yes man to his party what are his contributions to BC and What is his vision about Canadian Politics in Ottawa? Why Ottawa? Why he had been approached many times over the years to seek a seat as a Member of Parliament?

Simply because he was winning in BC elections consecutively since 2000, or he had made significant contribution to the community of BC.

I know Mr Hayer always bring up his dad's murder in his agenda. I have sympathy for him for that matter. It is sad that the murder case has not been resolved. But that is not enough to vote for him. Being a matured politician he should give his constituents and country a clear vision and agenda of his own which should complement the national agenda of his party. If a Canadian Politician does not have a clear vision and agenda of his own - he should not run for politics- neither the constituents should vote for such a person.

Otherwise it is a waste of vote, waste of time, waste of tax payer money and waste of one important voice as elected official. Waste in Assembly-Waste in Parliament. A simple waste...
