Initial reactions on the Canada section is this is a set back for the entire nation.
And yes, I do blame the Liberals for this mess as well, the project should have been past the point of no return come election time.

I'm just putting it out plainly who the BC Liberal base is who wanted this bridge. It wasn't a priority for anyone else. How ludicrous is it to force a bridge on the public that their elected mayors didn't want and that the transit and road authority didn't ask for?! Given the NDP and Green priorities why is anyone surprised? Politically they are far better to put the money into rapid transit projects their voters want. Why get worked up about it, do you live in the affected area?
I get the posters who feel the "gee whiz, what a monster project" love, but that's not a good basis for jumping all over other planning. The bridge was overkill plain and simple and there are strong reservations about the wisdom of such a structure on the soils of Richmond.
I supported the PMB/Hwy 1 project because that's where the growth in metro is. Due to the ALR the are the GMB was going to serve was never going to get that kind of growth.
