This is the NDP stepping in a pile of shit they could have managed much better. It may haunt them up to election day.

How is it any different than the BC Liberals and their massively overbudget (and underused) Vancouver convention centre? Or the vanity roof for BC Place. And worse yet, both those projects served commercial masters. Why didn't the organizations who benefitted from them pay the full cost?
By contrast, nobody else is going to build BC a new museum. The current one is old, outdated and reportedly seismically unsafe. It's funny how the Libs were all for building the convention centre for tourism, yet Victoria's one big attraction apparently doesn't hold any appeal for them. Maybe because they have no seats on the Island? What will they come after next, the provincial funding for Vancouver's new art gallery?
