If a political unit the size of BC can not deliver on what are in reality just basic public infrastructure projects*- that are commonplace internationally**- this would make the province appear to overseas' companies & potential investors as though run by incompetents... 

* site C Dam &  Massey Bridge projects; 

** The  new Massey Bridge will be a lost economic & investment-promotion opportunity of incalculable proportions if not done with AMBITION, & with view to putting BC on the world stage as a leader in transportation infrastructure architecture... 

Without such, BC's abilities to promote itself domestically & internationally as a good place to invest, establish corporate head offices, & to emigrate to will be needlessly diminished

Designs for the new bridge should impress favorably- when compared with other countries' "world beater" sea & river crossings

The new Massey Bridge should be BC's answer to:

France's Millau Viaduct, 

China's Hangzhou Bay Bridge,
