It wasn't some dude off the street signing the thing. There is something called the indoor management rule which basically states that where an individual appears to have the authority to do something, the other party doesn't need to investigate further. That contract is still binding IMO.

So to me how this reads is that the NDP are going to take this to court, probably pay a BC lawyer a few million bucks, just so they can lose based on the stupid premise that the person that negotiated this agreement didn't have the authority to negotiate in the clause, and then they can shrug their shoulders and cry and then say its all the PC's fault.
So then we'll be on the hook for the $2 billion and the attached legal fees.
Sound right?
