So... they returned an amount totaling about half of the salary "top-ups" that Premier Clark directly pocketed from her wealthiest donors in the same time. 

Gosh, they returned money? Wow. 

I think I had her and her incumbent government all wrong. I can now only conclude that I was off base about them being spectacularly beholden to the BC real estate machine. I now believe quite strongly that they have a vision beyond the next election cycle, lining their own pockets, and the pockets of their biggest donors. 

I was so wrong to think they were fixated on de-diversifying BC's economy and driving away the future tax base and essential skills.

My bad!
