Tax payer dollars are scarce?? What are you smoking??

BC is swimming in tax payer dollars. Scrooge McDuck style.

Just because we've had budget surpluses the past few years doesnt mean we're "swimming in tax payer dollars"....

I didn't say that was the reason BC is swimming in tax payer dollars. But we are. I work for the city of Richmond and trust me our province has more tax payer money than it knows what to do with.

I was thinking he was the guy they drop off on the side of the highway with some bags and a picker and then they come back at the end of the day to pick him and the bags up. That's why he loves his highways so much.

I can't... But if another pin falls, which I'm guessing will happen soon, then I can roll my first bowling ball... (oh wait I've done it once before).

Screw rolling the ball, run up to the pins and kick all of them down.

We don't use mops in the human resource department. But I'm sure I can pull a few strings and get you a job that involves one. Give me a shout when you're finished school

I think I drew the line 7 posts ago. I'm not going to send a third warning.

As an aside, Portland's version of the Port Mann twinning - the new I-5 bridge over the Columbia River - has the support of Portland City Council - a tolled 12-lane span with LRT.
