Prolly why the Gordo claimed a smal surplus at the end of March, 2009.<br /><br />BC Ferries must borrow that money at higher interest rates than the government. At the end of the day it's all a shell game and the taxpayer loses while Gordo makes himself look good.<br /><br />Haha - At least you had an "impact" on Christy today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
