Other promises: create a school of traditional Chinese medicing at a post-secondary institution.????? HUH WTF is this

Hell lets shoot for the stars and get some real courses in ice fishing in Merrit,
how to swim across Hells gate, beachcoming for crab shells....


wow these people are remarkable.

LNG production and liquification for the export market will generate over a trillion dollars of economic activity-so we are promiised.

$100-$250 billion will go to the provincial treasury from royalties and a LNG tax yet to be determined-so we are promised.

If the the LNG industry has to ask for a subsidy to make the LNG plants viable when export prices are more than 3 times the domestic price, how will the industry be able to survive if the provincial government imposes a LNG tax on it?

This just doesn't add up.

All this sounds like the 2005 pre-election announcements on how natural gas was the future and the promised land. At that time, domestic natural gas demand and prices appeared to be going sky-high. As a result, the province dramatically increased spending and started to run up the provincial debt. It has been downhill since. As a result of the global recession, natural gas demand tanked. At the same time, supply increased due to new fracking technology and prices went south and the province took a revenue hit.

It is a known fact that the resultant loss of natural gas revenue contributed to the five consecutive provincial budget deficits.

To project that BC will collect $100-$250 billion of LNG revenue over the next 30 years is simply wishful thinking. At best, LNG plants will not be up and running until 2020-SEVEN years from now.

It is unrealistic to claim such revenue projections over a 30 year span. Based on history, we can expect at least 4 MORE recessions in 30 yrears. The provincial government is being too optimistic. To predict huge expenditures on tunnels, highways, alternative medicine, etc., means we are repeating the mistakes of 2005.

We are counting our chickens before they hatch.

But, if we believe that the provincial treasury will have the hundreds of billion dollars of cash, we should not worry about where Mr. Dix will find the money to pay for his $1 million promise to restore Science World funding.

And, there will be lots of money left over-thanks to the pending LNG tax- courtesy of the Liberals ... You know-that party which promised not to impose new and crippling taxes?

The bear-hunt guiding industry will benefit. Sale of bear paws, gall bladders, etc. will be legalized.

Pzifer-look out.

Wow. Just heard snokums. We are going to be out of debt (that the LIE BERALS CREATED) by the the time little Hammie is 26. At least that's what snookums said.And she wouldn't LIE to little Hammie.Or would she. After all she slung beer at The Blue Boy. But a far as being out of debt. I remember being in Kelowna in 1958 for the Hydroplane races on Lake Okanogan with my Dad. They had a barge on the lake that was full of all the payed bonds that BC had and we were out of debt.. Old WACY Bennet shot a flaming arrow into it to light the bonds on fire. He missed by about 50 feet and one of the Queens Cowboys had to light it on fire from the back of it. He said then that BC was out of debt forever. Coudn't trust him any more than you can trust Snookums and all the retreaded socreds can you???? And speaking of that flaming barge. What do all you go green nut bars think of lighting that on fire and sinking it in Lake Okanogan????????

If it wasn't so serious it would be a JOKE!! Eliminate the Provincial Sales Tax.....OMG, they really do think the BC taxpayer is an idiot!

Ask Alberta how things are going with the price of oil right now for them....and the Liberals are putting all their faith into LNG......

And how pathetic to say they'll start a TCM school in a Post Secondary institution, when the Ministry of Health and most health insurance carriers won't even recognize it as a legitimate practice even though they have legislation and a professional regulatory College. Square that circle for us will ya Christie???? MSP doesn't cover it either!

Please May 14th...come sooner and take us out of this insanity!
