The voice of the dead was a living voice to me. – Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1847

The voices of 188 dead workers speak loudly from beyond the grave.

That grim number marks the total of workplace fatalities and accepted work-related death claims in B.C. in 2005.

It is a totally unacceptable number, a shameful number, a number that should be intolerable to us all.

Behind that number lies 188 different tragedies, 188 families where someone went to work and never came home again, 188 unsafe workplaces.

And 11 of those 188 were young people, aged 17 to 24 years old.

We are very proud of our ads. They underline the fact that Paul Martin’s B.C. Team has delivered results for B.C., and that Jack Layton isn’t the answer for progressive voters.

- B.C. federal Liberal campaign co-chair Mark Marissen

In an election campaign that has seen some big whoppers, describing the federal Liberals as the “progressive” answer for voters has to take the prize.

Let’s just see how progressive the Paul Martin Liberals really are.
