Back in our February 18, 2013 Post we knew then that Premier Christy Clark's Election promise of Debt Freedom 50 years based on a Trillion Dollars LNG industry, would fail, fail because of the past experience of the Socred Party's promise by Premier Bill Bennett's BCRIC.

We knew from the get go that Premier Clark's would be in a dead heat race to the bottom as to whether or not jockey Sir Bennett riding on  BCRIC One would win out over jockey Dam Clark riding on BCRIC II (aka $50 Billion Prosperity).

The difference is that the Dippers followed through with job experience building those vessels.  Those apprentices became trade persons who are now contributing to the economy of the province and paying income taxes to the BC Treasury.  Where are the jobs today?

When is Premier Christy Clark going to 'walk the talk' on Prosperity, Debt Freedom ..... is a bust!

There is an out for BC voters, lawsuits.

"Realize that when you're making these statements, you're creating a situation in which you'd better ensure that your subs and employees are properly trained, and that there are no incidents which could give rise to liability," Mr. Sarabia says.

The implications are simple. Canadian companies must be prepared to defend themselves in Canadian courts based on Canadian principles, lawyers say. These cases involving the activities of foreign subsidiaries are landing in Canadian courts based on traditional and recognized Canadian legal principles.  .....
