Earthquake Terminator<br /><br />Seems like the BC Liberals got roasted over that decision, by the public.<br /><br />It is suspicious isn't, Rich Coleman, the Minister in charge of BC Housing, sits on a hot potato for ten years, and not once did he suggest a Core Review be done on his cherished portfolio.<br /><br />It certainly shows the politics that any Party will go to to make others look like shit. eg. Ethnic Memo had John Yap relieved of his duties, Harry Bloy before him for stupidity (and still happening eg.
