Once this is all said and done, the Liberals are going to be ousted and hopefully we can muster up some sort of fiscal-conservative, socially-liberal Legislature to do damage control. My thoughts; the Government should never have had their thumbs in the Olympics in the first place. Thumbs-up to the Sea-to-Sky expansion and the RAV-line (even with all it's mishandling), but the Olympic Village boondoggle will bite us in the ass in the very near future. Vote through the BC-STV and lets diffuse the party-bureaucracy BS, get some progressives into the Legislature who dont have to tow the line and vote in unison for bad-policies.
