BC entered Confederation only with the guarantee of complete BC rail-this is our right.
My opinion is that some of the municipal/provincail levels may be rife with graft in supporting the contractors for auto and construction. Governments need to work honestly and wisely for the GOOD of its tax paying citizens, already burdened with personal debt.
To say that the population would not support changes is ridiculous–island population grows steadily. The airport overpass and the new roof in Vancouver are only small samples of money taken from taxpayers and sent in the wrong direction! Come clean and get going with what makes sense!! Thankyou
