We Canadians are really good at pissing money away like this.

Victoria's sewage treatment plant project was the same thing. It was mandated that it was going to happen, did all the engineering, selected their site (McLoughlin point, which made great sense) and fucking esquimalt decides they want to rezone and block the thing, it goes back to re-review, they spend a whole lot more money only to have the province step in and say "McLoughlin is the best place for it, that's where you have to put it guys".

Technically the Phase 1 and 2 consultations performed under the Harper Gov were successful, it was the Phase 3 consultation performed under the Trudeau Gov that was deemed to be inadequate by the Federal Court of Appeal.

Sooo... yeah, Harper didn't cut any corners... but thanks for your continued/typical anti-conservative input.
