Further, the ideology of these stupid public private partnerships, where the government is unable to take advantage of historically low borrowing rates, has inflated the costs of necessary infrastructure that will haunt this province for the next 50 year or longer.

As economic stewards the BC Liberals have been awful.
Serious question: Do the NDP or Greens propose a fix to this?

I'm currently in the "Liberals stink the least" camp, but have to admit that I'm fairly uninformed about Provincial politics due to my choice of news viewing (I watch ~5 hours of Charlie Rose per week, and ~1/2 hour of assorted other stuff which may or may not include local news).
