You know what would be great?
If Stephane Dion got one of those hats from the 80's with the fake seagull poop on them.
I don't know why, but I'd laugh hard for days at it...heck, it could get him an extra vote or three!
I note from you foto there David that there were more media than 'rent-a-crowd'ers...
With THREE elections looming I have this wish that Mr.Peanut would come back.
He made more sense than all the politicians that we are suffering from.
Pretty bad, isn't it?
The provincial carbon tax is a gas tax, a hedge against TransLink's ultimate failure. Here are the problems:
1) GVRD CEO evidently told a North Shore council that TransLink would not have the funds to support RAV after 2012.
2) Translink will be operating at an annual $150 million deficit by 2012.
3) The province has promised $14 billion in transit spending (yours and mine tax money) which includes the $2.5 billion RAV $8 billion including debt servicing and a $3 billion subway to UBC and a $3 billion refurbishment of the Expo Line including a 10 km. extension in Surrey.
This doesn't include Gateway financing.
You can see, Campbell needs an insurance gas tax - so to be politically correct and attract the 'Green' votes.
I sent such amemo to a Vancouver Sun reporter who rudely responded that I was full of it!
