When the alternative is a group of washed union leaders with the economic acumen of #IamLinda - $40 million seems like a good investment in terms of averting the short-sighted ignorance of the NDP and the unicorn idealism of the greens. We can live in a "green" economy, like Venezuela and Cuba - very low carbon... do you think it's an accident that the NDP were reduced to 2 seats 16 years ago? And what's changed, Adrian Dix, Jinny Simms, Carol James - the old band is back together (because they never left). Welfare cheques go up, $15 minimum wage, carbon tax, $10/day childcare, all while increasing taxes and red tape on businesses? Who is going to pay for that? "they"? BC has the lowest unemployment in the country and they are going to put a clown show of professional activists and retired union leaders in charge? And they're going to oppose Kinder Morgan (even though it's federal jurisdiction) because they don't have the "social license" required from Suzuki's ilk? It's embarrassing.
