As Bob Mackin notes, the citizens of British Columbia may never stop paying the cronies that made the BC Liberal govetnment's very first pay-to-play deal:
****
What's that, you may be asking.....
Railgate was a pre-Clarklandian, made man-assisted pay-to-play too?
Darn tootin'!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BC_Rail
a railway that operated in the Canadian province of British Columbia between 1912 and 2004. It was a class II regional railway and the third-largest in Canada, operating 2,320 km (1,440 mi) of mainline track. Its operations were owned by the public as a crown corporation from 1918 until 2004, when the provincial government leased operations for 999 years to CN.[1][2] The track and other assets, including a marine division and stevedoring subsidiary as well as large tracts of real estate, remain under public ownership. 40 km of track serving the Roberts Bank Superport that were scheduled to be sold to OmniTRAX remain under BC Rail management due to that sale being cancelled because of the transaction being tainted by an influence-peddling and bribery scandal resulting in convictions in 2010. The provincial government, which promised when originally elected never to sell the railway, has announced that the crown corporation and its remaining operations and assets would be "wound down" and taken over by various departments of the Ministry of Transportation The details of the sale/lease to CN, which are related to the OmniTRAX affair, have become the subject of protracted public inquiry as part of the proceedings of the trial surrounding a scandal known as the British Columbia Legislature Raids Affair, or "Railgate". Government leaders and civil servants involved with the arrangements to CN have refused to comment on the deal because the matter "is before the courts".
BC Liberal MLA Ralph Sultan's contact information seems to be missing from that sign. Too bad; I'm sure he would be happy to enlighten the good folks in West Vancouver that keep electing him as to how it is their seaside stroll is now considered illegal activity.
There was no "official opposition" during that time.
All those deals are duds.
Another order in council to solve this. This was corruption at its finest.
