Christy" afloat? <br /><br />Where do these idiots think this money is going to come from. Some of those people in New York aren't stupid. Of course they might consider the loan so when B.C. goes bust they can't "repose" the province. That ought to be cute. The towed the province away, we could make the payments. Can any one say Detroit North. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-11827938114104190832014-12-13T15:20:18.846-08:002014-12-13T15:20:18.846-08:00http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/2014/12/ch...http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/2014/12/christy-clarks-lng-obsession-crashes.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-31354745789609929432014-12-12T16:56:04.878-08:002014-12-12T16:56:04.878-08:00Open your eyes

This week, he claims to speak truth. In October, it was a different truth. <br /><br />The Liberal track record on every major project is one of either incompetence or deception, or both. The latter is the more likely.<br />Norm Farrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06762889793990336381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-36197382053561020542014-12-12T13:00:53.634-08:002014-12-12T13:00:53.634-08:00BC Hydro says, “We can confirm that $8.5 billion i...BC Hydro says, “We can confirm that $8.5 billion is within the range of the revised cost estimate.”<br /><br />Bennett says, “We don’t have a top estimate.”<br /><br />A range is the space between limits. Without a top limit, you don’t have a range; you have infinity. <br /><br />This appears to be borne out by another Bennett quote: “I was delegated to work with ministry of finance and BC Hydro to develop a cost estimate that would have greater contingencies and unforeseen costs.”<br /><br />The Minister of Energy and Mines should be responsible for his own ministry, and should show up before cabinet with an accurate estimate of what this project will cost. But he was “delegated” to go back and increase the estimate. This implies that cabinet or the premier felt that for some reason his initial work was defective. Why is he still the minister?<br /><br />What information did cabinet or the premier have that would justify deliberately developing “greater contingencies and unforeseen costs”?<br /><br />I also wonder why Mr. Bennett thinks there’s a difference between contingencies and unforeseen costs.<br />Lewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-32374348421471239532014-12-12T12:07:24.579-08:002014-12-12T12:07:24.579-08:00If we don't need the USA as Christy & team...If we don't need the USA as Christy & team indicated not long ago...then why the need to spend tax dollars for a trip to New York ?<br />Is Christmas coming soon and prices are cheaper at Macy's ?<br /><br />From another article: " But that’s what’s happening in British Columbia in the Liberal government’s LNG fantasy.<br /><br />If they were the NDP, they would be laughed out of office.
