Giving the NDP/Greens the chequebook is not to far away from giving a 5 yr old the cookie jar.   They have NEVER been able to control their spending and consistently squandered our  future to placate the welfare, drug-addled and teachers of the Province.  The masses that live in the Lower Mainland seem to forget where the gas to heat their homes, the electricity to keep their lights on, and the lumber they build their homes, come from.  They all voted, judging by the electoral map, to thumb their noses to the very people that allow them to live their comfortable and insulated lives.  They also voted to put those people out of work.  Talk about short-sighted!  No matter how much you WANT a green economy, it isn't going to happen for another 30 yrs.  Time to grow up .  The people of the Lower mainland voted, in no uncertain way, not FOR the NDP, but Against the hard working people of Rural BC that supply them with EVERYTHING that makes their lives comfortable.  We won't forget that.  GFY
