The debt load represented by non IPP PPP's represents an unprecedented run up in the provinces debt but because of slick accounting procedures remains off book. The current budget is obviously at least a billion dollar fudget. Paul Willcox here is seeing signs of a massive Neocon style budget balancing exercise of the type Gordo's chief economic advisors Michael Campbell and Russ Limbaugh have been advocating.<br /><br />However if IPP's are added in Campbell can take the prize as the least competent economic manager in Canadian history with the current IPP Buy High Sell Low program set to either create losses to BC Hydro of close to 2 billion dollars a year over 40 years and double electricity rates almost immediately. Easy to show but the NDP will have to pay for the ads themselves as the mainstream media including Wilcox here refuse to cover the economic aspect of this hideous mess.<br /><br />The second approach would be to appeal to Alexandra Morton's "the Salmon will not survive another Liberal term" theme and persuade Green voters that cost of voting Green and reelecting Gordo is just too high and best to wait for STV and the next election to elect Greenssethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-55979882760366600262009-04-29T22:51:00.000-07:002009-04-29T22:51:00.000-07:00O0opz...
