Jackson Pollock had perspective too.

Transportation Minister Kevin Falcon says that BC Ferries passengers need perspective on the corporation's recently 25% fare hike. Truth be told, this page needs some kind of 'perspective' any time Kevin Falcon opens his mouth, because whatever he's trying to pass off as sound transportation policy is always some indecipherable mishmash of right wing ideology and good ol' fashioned pork-barrelling.

It was Kevin Falcon who told us that building a mass transit system down Cambie Street would be more cost effective than building one through the already existing Arbutus rail corridor. It was Kevin Falcon who claimed that shoving more private vehicles on to a twinned Port Mann Bridge and Highway 1 in order to gridlock the streets of Vancouver would somehow reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Now it's Kevin Falcon who claims that British Columbians should be happy to pay a lot more to ride ferries that his government refused to tender to local shipyards, are managed by his myopic union-busting sycophant David Hahn, and were christened with such asinine names as Coastal Celebration. Whether its on the roads, rails, or waters of B.C., every deluded megaproject and ripoff from the desk of the Transportation Minister makes any B.C. taxpayer with any real perspective die a little more inside.
