British Columbia's government has laid out its plan for the future in a throne speech that highlighted how the province must avoid become like its neighbour to east.
Christie Krunch loves to play the deflection game. Her promise of an LNG windfall that would eliminate our debt and the PST didn't happen? Well, at least we're not Alberta.
High housing prices, but she doesn't want to do anything about them because it would lose her votes of all the people sitting on a fortune? Blame it on municipal development costs
Is this the same Christy Clark that spent millions to upgrade ferries only to sell them off cheap? The same one that hitched her province to the collapsing LNG and softwood wagons?
I would be asking of them: Why Us? Why, only us? Are there no other pipelines in the world? Are there no other oil economies? Are there not huge projects elsewhere to claim their self-aggrandizing attentions, projects of far more scale and far less regulated that the one in their own country � that supplied such relief to Canadians in terms or jobs, and to the national economy in that invisible pipeline that brought the equalization dollars from Calgary and Edmonton to Ottawa, Montreal and beyond?
I'd be asking why the production of oil, as opposed to the use of it � and it is used in everything by everybody, every other industry, every other product, all of our current civilization � why production is demonized by its (mainly) fanatic opponents?
How can something be so bad to produce which everyone uses and chooses to delightfully use? That's the paradox of the whole green movement there, and Calgarians must find that paradox wholly exasperating.
Maybe the cumb dunt is banking on legalization to turn BC into an economic superpower. Become the first - world's first major narco state and wave it as a banner of pride.

Well, we do seem to be doing best out of all the provinces right now, and of course Christie is taking credit for that. The low dollar helps our tourist, softwood, film and tech industries. Of course if things turn bad, it will be somebody else's fault.

Don't recall the ferries thing? The bid ferry fiasco was the NDP with the fast ferries. And Softwood didn't collapse under her but bounced back - not that she had anything to do with it.
BC Liberals have been called the most rightwing govt in Canada right now. People get confused, but they have nothing to do with the federal LIberal party. And she's taking shots at Alberta's NDP in preparation for next year's election, when she'll have to answer for her promises about LNG.
What's funny is that in the last election, the NDP was sunk because they came out against Trans Mountain.

So why did BC Ferries sell off the newly refurbished Queen of Chilliwack when it did, thus reducing its relief capacity when adequate replacement vessels can�t be ready before year�s end?
How much did BC Ferries get for selling this asset for which the public paid � and how much will that return help offset new equipment costs? Reports are that the ship was sold for $1.8 million, an 88-per-cent markdown from the value of its refits. BC Ferries won�t disclose price.
Who knows why they sold, but that barely got on the radar here - pretty minor in the scheme of things. Hell the free muffins in the Legislature got more play.
Under the radar only because we're so used to that shit about BC Liberals and ferries. Don't forget that they came into power like a angry teenager who knew he was gonna inherit his dying Dad's Buick... and spent his Dad's dying years posting notices on every lamp post and telling everyone he met what piece of shit it was...
