It’s like a billion groundhog days are playing on an endless loop inside British Columbia’s beaten, bloodied, battered and bowed body politic…..

In unveiling its Tuesday, the province announced it would sell off non-strategic assets in hopes of raising more than $700-million over the next three years. Two liquor branch warehouses – one in Vancouver, one in Kamloops, employing about 400 people combined – and liquor distribution services were among those assets. The province said it would request proposals to transfer the government-owned warehouses and services to the private sector by 2015….
I mean, seriously….
Do these people want absolutely everything.
Heckfire.
I’m surprised they haven’t privatized Haida Gwaii yet.
And, while they’re at it….
Maybe they can get us to throw in the Kootenays and all children under the age of 11 as well.
Ah geez….
That’s enough with the snark.
Because as hard as you all might find it to believe, I’m actually speechless on this one.
