The Bankrupt Party
Francis Bula has written a first-rate piece on the front page of the local edition of this morning's Globe.
In it, she chronicles the endless escalating costs of the famous Olympic Village. Read the full story for the numbers and weep. The final total cost will easily exceed a Billion dollars. The City of Vancouver is increasingly on the hook and pegging more and more of its limited resources on this one horse.
Of course, the officials, like City Councillors Louie and Meggs, insist alles iz gut and all will work out ïn the fullness of time."
Hey, Ray and Gregg...in the fullness of time, I will be a Hollywood movie star, my next-door neighbour will win the Nobel for particle physics and and the guy at the fish store won't start a conversation with "How about those Canucks!"
The irony of this story is that it sits on the page in the print edition smack up against The Culprit.
There he is waving from the window of a helicopter on his way to his re-election - Gordo, the Great.
The man who has brought you the $Billion housing project that is bankrupting the City of Vancouver.
Oh what rich comedy if he lost the election (He won't.) and had to sit out The Big Party.
We can dream, can't we?
