Isn't It Interesting......

.....How, once the capital costs have been paid off, the tolls come down on the Coquihalla Highway which is one of three ways to drive to the Okanagan, Merritt, Kamloops and the Shushwap, while the Ferry tolls just keep on going up and up and up?

And up.

And the ferries are the only way to drive to Vancouver Island.

And is it not interesting that we recently paid hundreds of millions of dollars of our own money to have people in foreign lands build our newest ferries?

And is is it not interesting that that foreign building was done at the expense of folks, union folks, that live and work and would like to build big ferries right here in British Columbia?

Why is that exactly?

Well, there is that whole bust the unions thing that we saw so much of before the BC Liberal party became everybody's friend (thanks Carole!).

But there's something else to consider here, I think.

And to do so, all we have to do is look and and see how folks voted last time around in the Okanagan, Merritt, Kamloops and the Shushwap and compare that to, say, the how the folks in Victoria and Vancouver Island voted.

Interesting that, eh?

And here is something kind of interesting, if you ask me anyway....The 2005 election results summary page is no longer available on the Elections BC website, which is why you're getting them here from Wikipedia.....As Mr. Schulman has informed us in the comments (and thanks for that), the complete breakdowns, riding by riding (and area by area within each riding), are available at E-BC here (and have fun downloading the 20.5meg pdf, ha!). Regardless, please note that I origninally implied that the results are not there at all....that is not true, and for that I apologize.
