....Including 'Fraud'.
At least when it comes to those cables that work a certain retractable roof in Lotusland.
Allegedly.
Bob Mackin has the story:
"....The French headquartered cable erection company hired by a Quebec steel subcontractor is suing for almost $6.5 million. B.C. Pavilion Corporation, the taxpayer-owned stadium’s operator, is named as a defendant.
Freyssinet filed a lawsuit in British Columbia Supreme Court on Oct. 31, charging Canam with breach of contract, breach of statutory trust and equitable fraud....."
Once again....
Please recall that the decision to go ahead with the $600 million dollar roof/restoration was made by the Campbell/Clark government AFTER the 2008 recession.
Thus, every single dollar spent on the devil-horned flying carpet is money we do not have for crazy stuff we are told we cannot afford like, say, residential housing for the adult disabled that the current (not)Premier told us recently costs quite a lot*.
OK?
______
*The price that Ms. Clark put on the heads of each adult disabled, on the floor of the legislature, was $50,000 per year....Put another way, that means the BC Place roof has cost us 12,000 adult disabled person years so far....And if the French cable guys are successful with their lawsuit?....Well, that will be an additional 130....Adult disabled years, I mean...Oh, and just in case you forgot, when Ms. Clark put the price on the heads of those fellow citizens that require our help most, she quipped that those who are concerned for their welfare are just playing a 'game'....

"cable erection company"
Do they make a product that could be used to avoid complications arising (double entendre??) from using the overly advertised blue pill perhaps?
Ah....as Cathie Jones from 22 minutes would say.....I'm just kidding around!
Even funnier is the words of wisdom from the Divine Ms. M over at the bottom of my post about Chevy's 100th birthday.
On my way koot....
Thanks!
