By emulating Santa Claus, this pair and now Clark and Coleman also generously allowed "special" out of province services to be brought in at the expense of readily available BC services. Now if there is any questions remaining on how subsidies would be covered by increases in job levels, we can officially say that myth is "busted". So why allow any more subsidies? This wreck can be seen coming miles away as the threat of "capital flight" is the one that is always on the horizon with special interest groups like CAPP. time to call their bluff.cfvuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-63401107938143787702013-02-13T20:44:32.482-08:002013-02-13T20:44:32.482-08:00Grant G explains the LNG corporate welfare scheme ...Grant G explains the LNG corporate welfare scheme here <br />http://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.ca/2013/02/british-columbias-lng-corporate-welfare.html#linkstesty trollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-86933268663961543292013-02-13T19:47:46.412-08:002013-02-13T19:47:46.412-08:00These 'guys' don't want to pay for any...These 'guys' don't want to pay for anything. The taxpayer it seems is to foot the bill for the exploration, poisoned groundwater, roads, pipes. electricity and everything else. What? Private Enterprise pay taxes or royalties???? Trouble is the Campbell/Christy Critters say 'Yes' what we tax will subsidize industry. ( Expecting cushy jobs when turfed maybe?) Why THREE natural gas pipelines? Isn't one enough? Dilbit oil need two - one in - one out. That is a total of five from the oil/gas patches. That will be one hell of swath of missing trees to the Coast. <br /><br />BurgessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-24605496563621608002013-02-13T19:01:44.478-08:002013-02-13T19:01:44.478-08:00Brilliant line there RossK,just bloody brilliant.T...Brilliant line there RossK,just bloody brilliant.Taxpayers have been subsidizing the building of virtually private mine roads for a helluva long time,via the BC Infrastructure Royalty credit, which I have written about many times with the thought that we needed to cut back on that which would increase our revenues provincially. <br /><br /><br />Perhaps Christy didn't know about this credit...lol... <br /><br />Lailahttp://www.lailayuile.comnoreply@blogger.com
