A Conversation That Matters with Daphne Bramham - No, Maybe - Maybe Yes to Transit Referendum

Episode 24 Daphne Bramham

No - Yes - Maybe to  the Transit Referendum

This week’s Conversation that Matters features Vancouver Sun columnist Daphne Bramham who says vote No is likely to win, well maybe - well maybe not.

Brmham says, “if you vote no, you’re telling politicians I don’t want taxes raised, you’re telling politicians you’re not prepared to pay anymore money, so when you vote no you better be prepared for worse service, not better service, worse service. What you’re saying is I’m prepared to have less service.

Bramham points out the no side has the emotional argument locked up and that’s much easier to sell. The yes side has the difficult job of convincing you that improved transit is good not only in the short run but even more so into the future which she admits is a difficult sell.
