Having lived through a fair number of provincial elections on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve never understood why we insist the candidates take a position on a second highway but never ask for their thoughts on the topic of Sasquatches living on Mount Elphinstone. If we’re going to insist politicians talk about a mysterious creature that no one is ever going to see, why does it always have to be the boring one?
But if any of the current candidates are moved to speak or write about things that most voters would agree might come to exist in the region of space-time we expect to inhabit, some promises of more left-turn lanes would certainly make me put down my binoculars and take note.
