You think your city's transit is bad? Just wait until you hear about
Vancouver. Billions wasted in bureaucracy, with 6 boards of
directors, 2 CEOS, $40,000 televisions, personal cars, and every
luxury in the book. And now a plebiscite on whether Vancouverites
should be paying more taxes so this inefficient and corrupt transit
bureaucracy can perpetuate its wasteful central plans that do nothing
but suffocate the taxpayer. This isn't a plebiscite; this is a
referendum on the Tran$Link bureaucracy. But you wouldn't know it.
“Vote No” lawn-signs and advertisements are being taken down by
municipal authorities. The other side with its million-dollar
taxpayer-financed budget have “Vote Yes” signs all over the city,
including on the buses. Did I mention the ballot is biased toward the
“Yes” side, as well?
In
this episode I sit down with Canadian Taxpayer Federation BC Director
Jordan Bateman. Bateman is a former Langley councilor and the defacto
leader of the “Vote No” side. In 2013, Jordan was named to
Vancouver Magazine's prestigious Power 50 list of the 50
most influential people in Greater Vancouver. Let's hope that
influence pays off in this campaign. This is the province that
rejected the HST, hopefully we'll reject this tax grab as well.
