    It would be nice if the Greens were a serious party, with serious ideas that they could back up with serious numbers.

    The BC Greens propose reallocating existing funds and investing $720 million annually to double BC Transit’s operations, with $420 million from the provincial budget and anticipated savings from improved efficiency.

    The information is out there and they could demonstrate exactly how they plan to accomplish this instead of literally hoping for magic money.

      We could stop building more roadways and tax the rich more.

        Sounds like exactly what the Greens would say while promising the world and offering nothing of substance to prove they can accomplish anything.

        Do you have numbers? Does infrastructure maintenance go out the window in order to build other means of transport? Who can be defined as “rich”? What do we do with the millions of cars on the roads and in lots?

        A lot of questions come from simple platitudes.
