Blunder Party

Winter in Palm Desert

Today our Liberal government is choosing a new leader of its party, someone to be the Premier of the Province. I cannot help but chuckle at the blunder it has made by not getting out the PIN numbers to the eligible voters who want to vote today. They used our Canada Postal system to deliver the numbers and many of the voters have not yet received them as of Friday night. Canada Post is perplexed.  
I find it curious that they used the services of a Nova Scotia firm by the name of Intelivote to handle this party election. Is there nobody in BC who could handle this?  The one consolation is that at least it is not a US firm. Intelivote assures the Liberals that they will put additional 'bums and seats' in place to call all the voters and give them their pin numbers. How about putting a few brains in place. 
No doubt, most of these electronic votes will be sent in via computer, which begs the question, why did not each voter simply get an email? If this fiasco is any indication, we are in store for more inefficiencies in our provincial government. What else is new.

The Liberal Party will not email you without your consent. Canada Post...very slow. Recently I have had three packages sent to me from within Canada. They took so long we thought they were lost. One envelope took 3 weeks from Terrace. From the US I get my Mannatech packages within 2 or 3 days from the generation date of the order. Go Canada GO!!!
