Morning Brew: Paralympics Party, Province Slashes Sports, Low Snow Pack Worries, No Stat for You
Paralympics aim to keep Vancouver's party going -- but they're going to need to break out the strong stuff as Disabled again on BC Liberals' Hit List.
Province slashes gaming grants to arts, culture, sports groups. Hey, that gold medal game was great huh?
How does The Guardian like us now? Cypress Bowl re-opens for business Tuesday. That makes no sense. Did you have to airlift snow during the Olympics? And is there so little so pack that potential water shortages are forecast this summer?
B.C. government cool to idea of a February stat holiday. They were also thinking of canceling Christmas this year due to budget constraints.
Credit Check: +10 "Premier promises that Evergreen Line will be completed. So you can bank on it. Unless it is canceled yet again."
Weird, one thing that isn't getting its budget cut -- and, indeed, is getting a boost -- is the prison system. Hmmm.

Personally, I hope the Evergreen line never gets built. Sky Train is crazy expensive and the route will not bring in the revenues required to support the line. Translink needs to focus on high density routes such as the UBC-Broadway corridor - it will make them money. The Evergreen line is a bad idea

For the same price they could build light rail to PoCo as well as to Abbotsford.
