It'd be interesting to see what the cost of living index is, I find it funny that both provinces that are high on the salary scale are oil producers as well.
You can't argue that we want services and are willing to pay more when we have services that are ranked very low in terms of the rest of the country.
So basically we are spending more to get less, and that is a failure to properly use tax payer dollars.
The simple salary argument also doesn't respond to the point that BC taxpayers pay about 30% less per person for better delivery of services and they don't seem to have a front line retention issue.
