Business community looking at Conservative/United choice with some concern
Entrepreneurs are expressing different degrees of the concern about the split in B.C.'s free enterprise coalition following a speech by B.C. United Leader Kevin Falcon Thursday in Greater Victoria.
Kahakauwila declined to reveal her current leanings. But she -— like many others — expressed concerns about vote-splitting. Al Hasham, former chair of the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce and long-time owner of prominent logistics and furniture businesses, said he was really hoping to hear Falcon address the recent defections of MLAs Lorne Doerksen and Elenore Sturko to Rustad's Conservatives.
"It almost feels like the is the party that used to be what the B.C. Liberals were," he said."They have all come from there. So is that going to grow? Are there going to be more people either crossing over or more people going to run for that party?" "That's very new, may be within the last week or so," she said."The conversations I'm having with business owners and people in my community are just simply that...we can't afford what we are currently doing," she said.
