Blown Budgets In British Columbia...

...A Place Where The Past Is Not Prologue.

Yesterday we noted, at least according to the denizens of Clark (not Glen) Land, that the Site C damn is suddenly going to cost an extra 600 million, or maybe even 1,100, million dollars.

And what happened in response to this 'announcement'  by our fine Premier to the big money boys in New York City?

Well....

Except for a piece by Vaughn Palmer about how he waited by the phone with bated-breath for the ol' turdstormer to call him up and tell him less than zero, the Lotuslandian proMedia has essentially ignored the story.

And, as you might expect, British Columbia's best blogger (i.e. the one with a boatload of established credibility that has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment), Norm Farrell, has something to say about all that:

...Remember the years of proMedia outrage after a different Premier named Clark offered assurances that the cost of fast ferries would be $210 million, "right down to the toilet paper." He was wrong... to the tune of about $240 million. Today, top news at The Province Online includes "how to book the cheapest airline flight," a Calgary man's claim that bigfoot DNA had been "plucked from a BC tree" and a report about an Afghani Bruce Lee lookalike...

Go figure.
