Christy Clark has signaled interest in leading the Liberal Party and potentially running for Prime Minister if Justin Trudeau steps down. However, her track record as Premier of British Columbia (2011-2017) raises serious concerns. Clark's policies heavily favored corporate interests and wealthier citizens, exacerbating inequality in BC. Under her leadership, housing affordability deteriorated dramatically, with property speculation and empty luxury condos becoming major issues, despite her dismissive claims that there were "no empty condos" in Vancouver.
Her relationship with Indigenous communities was also highly problematic. Clark's government often clashed with First Nations, notably opposing their efforts to protect land and resources from environmentally damaging projects. These conflicts highlighted her administration's reluctance to respect Indigenous rights and sovereignty.
If Christy Clark were to lead Canada, there's a significant risk that these policies could be expanded nationally, increasing economic inequality, housing crises, and undermining Indigenous reconciliation efforts. Canadians deserve leadership that prioritizes social justice, environmental sustainability, and genuine respect for all citizens, not just the wealthy few. Clark's history suggests she is not that leader.
