AndThey'rePlayingToWinIt(All)Ville
Remember how the Clark government, in an official pronouncement that would make the Empress passing through Potemkin proud, told us to ask/expect/hope/shop for lumps of coal for Christmas?
Well....
That was the literal.
The following, as reported recently by the VSun's Rob Shaw, I think (although I'm not entirely sure, given the gobsmackery), is the metaphorical:
The company behind a new casino-hotel at BC Place is getting a sweeter share of the pot from the province’s lottery corporation in order to help pay for underground parking.
The resort project, spearheaded by Paragon Gaming, has special permission from the B.C. Lottery Corporation to temporarily take an extra commission off gambling revenues at its existing Edgewater casino to help pay for the new underground parkade...
I mean, it's not like we haven't already built the fine folks from Paragon, and their two emissaries who just happen to be former heads of the BC Lottery Corporation, a $600 million dollar magic carpet to stave-off their 'deal breaker' or given them a sweet subsidy deal that will cost us millions more every single year already.
Right?
****
The coal.
It's so shiny and bright.
And it will be so darned functional when we are finally forced to try and burn it in the fireplace to generate all that wonderful warmth and light and heat that the fine folks in Clarkland are promising us at the front door while the Grinch and his herd of vicious antler-dogs and flying surrender monkeys sneak in through the back.
Merry Christmas everybody!
