We spent $563,000,000 on this?

Many people, including this writer, thought the provincial government had its priorities skewed when it decided to spend over a half a billion of our tax dollars putting a new roof on an old underused sports facility, when vulnerable homeless people are living under viaducts just a stone’s throw from the stadium. With news that the roof is leaking cascades of water the day before its showcase event, the Grey Cup, the stupidity of the government’s decision is even more obvious.
I’m sure that dozens of people will be working overtime to try to patch the leaks so Christy Clark’s Liberals are not further embarrassed…and the hurried repairs will be on our dime too.
Never mind helping the homeless and downtrodden among us-they probably deserve their misfortune (satire alert)-but aren’t there any better places to spend this kind of money?
