Yesterday, we learned that Premier Gordon Campbell has cancelled the fall sitting of the British Columbia Legislature?
So.
What is he really afraid of?
Falling poll numbers?....Huge pay raises for Class Apparatchika?....Plummeting personal approval ratings?....Disappearing resource revenue?.....Content consultants gone wild?....The continuing disaster that is the Child and Families Ministry?....Soon to spiral out of control Olympic costs?.....The end of good times for a user fee-driven provincial gov't infrastructure built for just that?....The potential bankruptcy of BC Ferries?....The spectre of the Railgate Rising (again!).....Forestry company sweetheart deals that are rotting the public's teeth....The privitization of everything?
Hmmmmmmm......
Maybe one, or maybe all.
But, if truth be told*, we figure it's just as possible that Mr. Campbell is really running from the Outhouse Sponsorship Conspiracy Scandal:
B.C.'s environment ministry has taken a page from municipal parks managers, inviting the public to sponsor benches and picnic tables with personalized plaques.
It's not cheap. A bench will cost $3,000, including installation, dedication plaque and 10 years of maintenance. A picnic table is $4,000.....
{snippety-dooh-dah)
For a more ambitious contribution, consider a solar heating system for a shower building at $15,000. Or the Cadillac of B.C. Parks dedications, a Phoenix composting toilet with lifetime maintenance for $42,000....
I mean, what's next, a chance to sponsor your nextdoor neighbour's colonoscopy?
Sheesh.
