So our Minister of Finance Gary Collins (funny, he used to like using Feral as his middle name) has announced that his conservatively Liberal government will now be unable to deliver a balanced budget due to the costs of fighting the wildfires in BC. Meantime, our very own Sindi "PowerPoint" Hawkins is showing up regularly on the local media which is somewhat comforting. I was starting to wonder if she left town after being caught paying friends $10,000+ per speech.
Here's my prediction on what will soon happen: When Gordon Campbell comes back from vacation, no doubt in a place that has lax drunk driving laws, he will announce plans for the privatization of the Forestry Industry, including Firefighting. Imagine how much the province can save (and therefore piss away towards the Olympics) by paying firefighters, heavy equipment operators, helicopter and waterbomber pilots, etc minimum wage, less if they are on training! Hey, get with the program, Gordo! (no I don't mean AA)
