Is the B.C. government feeding us too much good news?
KAMLOOPS — It’s not hard to find fault with the BC Liberals on a lot of stuff but I think there’s one thing on which we can all agree — their PR machine is first-rate.
The slightest hint of anything that could be called good news for the government instantly turns into a media release or a full-scale media conference, or both, complete with photos, video, speeches, a ribbon-cutting and one of those ever-present “Putting British Columbians First” podium signs with slogans about “Modernizing” and “Building” and “Connecting” and “Partnering” and “Inspiring” and “Engaging” and “Supporting.”
The flacks must work over-time Googling synonyms; there must be warehouses full of those signs.
