Gimmie a break, Mr. Godbout!
In your editorial, "Like night and day," you attack the public speaking ability of Adrian Dix, as if charisma is somehow a political preference to character.
Although Dix may not have the oratorical skills of the late Tommy Douglas, he has the same compassion and commitment to the people.
Adrian Dix presents a refreshing change in B.C. politics, with substance replacing style. Gone is the glib rhetoric; gone is the sly, sleek smoothness and snake oil of a political performer. Here we have a leader who is listening to the people, not the political winds.
Would you rather have the oratory cunning of Christy Clark, or the thoughtful, balanced delivery of Adrian Dix?
Most British Columbians realize that there is more to good government than a smooth speaking style.
