Intense Focus: Premier Christy Clark

Premier Christy Clark: It was the first major election campaign in Canada to feature both the economy and the environment as key issues. That is surely a sign of the times. And even though Premier Christy Clark and her intense focus on the economy garnered the most seats for the Liberals, the popular vote tells another story, according to The Star. So the question remains: how will British Columbians reconcile these two competing interests? And how will that affect the rest of the Canada and CALGARY Politics in British Columbia has always been volatile and unpredictable, as last weeks election again proved.
