"Surprise" Quiz

Of the following events which took place last week, which did you find the least surprising?

a) 78 year old Betty Krawczyk's 10 month prison sentence for her part in the Olympic-related protests at Eagleridge Bluffs, just prior to the arrival of the International Olympic Committee inspection team in Vancouver?

b) Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon's announcement that Translink would be overhauled with an unelected Board of Directors and a 'Council of Mayors' from Pemberton to Hope (further drowning out transit dependent Vancouver & Burnaby), just days after Translink had announced that ridership would have to double by 2020 in order to avoid a regional transportation crisis?

c) The Basi - Virk trial still hasn't started yet, and only one local daily bothers to report on the legal maneuvering to stop a trial which could shatter the BC Liberals, and their federal counterparts?

d) Among Sam Sullivan's buzzword-tainted pet projects passed by his NPA majority on Vancouver City Council, (Eco-Density, Project Civil City and the Olympic Legacy Fund) none of them have allocated funding for social housing?
