1.5 billion would go a long way fixing issues in healthcare, and education etc.
If the NDP did that you would be losing your mind. If the Liberals did that you'd be losing your mind.
Stop giving the UCP a free pass. It's embarrassing.

As I just said I didn't lose my mind when the NDP gave away money to the rail companies. It was a hedge.
I would have done the same thing, project wasn't dead until Biden killed it. If we had done that to an American company we would 100% be sued and they would get paid back. Sadly doesn't work going the other way. America always wins those or they just ignore them.
Liberals throwing away a billion dollars doesn't even make the news anymore. We're all just immune to the shock of it now.
They're going to spend more than that on the new BC pipeline that likely will never exist. No, I am not mad about that. When the regulatory system is incapable of attracting private investment it will inevitable fall to the province to fund permitting costs. I would much prefer the regulations just get thrown in the trash and start over but that's obviously not going to happen. Before Carney scrapped the net zero regulations I assumed the province was going to start building gas plants under a crown corporation as well. Obviously private investment wouldn't have broken the law but a crown corporation can get away with that stuff.
