What Cummins Voted For

Here is what John Cummins’ vote meant when he voted NDP in 2009.

NDP Prior to 2009

• High Taxes: Voted against every tax cut for British Columbians since 2001
• Blocking Jobs and Free Trade: Voted against a bill that reduces barriers to the free movement of workers, goods, services and investment between B.C. and Alberta – an agreement that has benefitted BC workers
• Soft on Crime: Voted against the Youth Justice Act, a bill that increased jail time for the most serious provincial statute offences

NDP’s 2009 Platform

• More Taxes: Over $1-billion in new taxes on the economy, including a tax on investment
• More Spending: Over $3.6-billion in new spending
• Hammering Small Business: Opposed small business tax cuts

John Cummins claims to be a conservative, but he voted for a party that he calls “incompetent,” and “fiscally irresponsible.” And now he wants your vote. You can’t trust John Cummins with his own vote, how can you trust him with yours?
