But either way this gang of crooks in Victoria not only paid someone to take our railway they effectively dried up monies that were to go to health and education. Until my dying day I will never figure out how the people of BC allowed this to happen and then were lulled into re-electing these thieves TWICE MORE.<br />Oh, and if the people are wondering why these thieves want the HST I think they are looking for money to replace what they have already given away. Simple math. Fork out 1.6 billion to take our railway. Get 1.6 billion from the feds to further screw the electorate.Gary Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640964040603349900noreply@blogger.com
