Why oh why didn't Cameron Station get constructed? Seems very short sighted.

Possibly because they never reach a deal on the station. According to this Burnaby Now news report back in 2012, the province wants Burnaby to pay $3Mil on their own for the station and an empty lot on North Road first and the province will put another $3Mil+ for the rest of the project later. However, Burnaby states that simply wants both Burnaby and the province to split the bill altogether whenever it costs both side $3Mil or so.

Because Corrigan wanted to generate bad news stories about how the Liberal government isn't "coming to the table" blah blah blah. That's it.
