BQ has been overwhelmed with the level of interest from members and others wanting to be on our new subcommittees.
BQ had submitted to the BCCs North South Bypass Tunnel project team a big thumbs-down on their originally proposed three-year detour of the SE Freeway bikeway between OKeefe Street (Stones Corner) and Peterson Street, Woolloongabba.
But after consultation, BQ is pleased to see some ground given and improvements made to original proposals from the tunnel team, but are still chasing further reasonable changes to make the detour better and safer for cyclists.
The BQ uses the support of the trade unions to bolster its claim to be a left or social-democratic alternative to the governing federal Liberal Party and to promote the fiction that Quebec independence is an objective that transcends the class struggle.
The BQ platform outlines a fiscal plan that conforms to the same right-wing pattern as that of the Liberals and the Canadian Alliance: the bulk of the projected federal surpluses are given over to tax cuts and paying down the debt, while deficit-spending is forsworn.
Admittedly, the BQ's $73 billion tax cut plan is less skewed in favor of the wealthy, but this is for show—a cynical stratagem to bolster the BQ's claims to be less beholden to big business and the wealthy than their Liberal opponents.
