There is something exciting about seeing your letter to the editor printed in the paper. My 5 seconds of fame!
By Dan MacIntosh, Vancouver Sun August 27, 2011 The only thing more maddening than the B.C. Liberal party's handling of the HST fiasco from start to finish is Finance Minister Kevin Falcon's characterization of the $3-billion price tag for the HST reversal as a "manageable bump on the road." I'm not sure what parallel universe of roadways he travels on, but in my world $3 billion is more than a bump.
It is more than a little disconcerting that he would treat taxpayers' hard-earned cash so casually and callously. The idea of spending that much of British Columbians' money to fix a problem that the Liberals created rubs me the wrong way. Maybe if one deals daily in numbers with that many zeros the amounts seem insignificant, but this small bump looks like a rather large mountain from my vantage point.
I hope that going forward, before encountering any more "manageable" bumps, Falcon and his crew will choose their road more carefully.
