True, it's incredibly expensive running a campaign against a 16 year kleptocracy. Christy Clark and Gordon Cambell cashed in on almost 2 decades of "favors" and the Greens split the progressive vote giving us BC Liberal on a minority of votes. It's worth every penny to subsidize votes in order to get the wealthy out and their friends in the media. These donors have been well served by the BC Liberals, coal and metals miner Teck, $2.82 million, and energy company Encana $1.18 million, miner Goldcorp $1.08 million and forestry company West Fraser $990,320. And let's not forget our development industry Aquilini family, who own the Canucks, $1.43 million; the Adera Group $1.1 million, started by Ken Mahon; Wesbild $929,576, owned by Future Shop founder Hassan Khosrowshahi; and Peter Wall and nephew Bruno Wall $914,425, who own and manage Wall Financial Corp. Justine, please remind everyone why it takes taxpayer money to keep these groups from buying their way into government.
