The B C Liberals are by far the worst neo-con government B.C ever had.

Even with old Socreds in their Gov - they far surpass the arrogance & the 'better' things the Socreds did, with pure vile bilge.

Either way, I think the best we can do is expect the worst and hope for the best.
That's all we can do.

What annoys me is these people who want to sabotage the thing just so they can point and say..."see, see, just like we said, it's over-budget & we lost money!"

Don't worry

it is already sabotaged, a little more won't make that much difference.

I don't believe

"neo-con", with it's multitudinous meanings, was even coined back when the Socreds were collecting their payoffs.

But then, never has been in touch with the times.
