The go to rationale for the latest vote buying scheme is that it creates jobs.  The only problem is that these lofty promises rarely work out.  In fact, they regularly cost the economy jobs.

Where are the poverty advocates and progressives who tell us how much they care about the poor? One thing for sure, they don’t care about the vast majority of First Nations directly impacted by the Trans Mountain expansion who have made it clear it’s their best hope to alleviate poverty in their communities.

They promote airport expansions and cruise ships yet somehow Vancouver (and Victoria’s) city council takes aim at oil producers without pointing a deserving finger at themselves.
