RT @JVD_MLA: Throne Speech at 2 p.m. #BCpoli #Abbotsford
Drone from the throne underway in Victoria...anyone remember the last one? no mention of dominoes so far #bcpoli
RT @keithbaldrey: Racking my brain, trying to remember a BC throne speech as empty of new initiatives as this one. Still racking....#bcpoli
The B.C. throne speech goes all-in on LNG - it is a tight focus on a prospective industry. #bcpoli
Did Lieutentant Governor say "experts" or "exports" were on the rise to India?...#bcpoli
The B.C. government promises to create a new Prosperity Fund - similar to Alberta's Heritage Fund - with planned revenues from LNG. #bcpoli
Apparently, the BC government discovered the potential of LNG in British Columbia, shortly after Christy Clark became premier #bcpoli
A platoon of big energy representatives are in YYJ for the B.C. throne speech - Chevron, Petronas. Will they applaud new LNG tax? #bcpoli
RT @tc_shaw: BC throne speech also promises improved early childhood services and more affordable childcare, though no details how. #bcpoli
Sounds like the headline is emerging for this BC Throne speech and #LNG will be in it. #bcpoli
Here's our first take on the Throne Speech, from Justine Hunter:
B.C. puts faith in unseen LNG revenues to address budget issues by Mason Wright 2/12/2013 10:25:26 PM
Remember, excited Brit Columbians: this is just a Speech from the Throne. It is not a guarantee of anything, no matter whos in power #bcpoli
Revenue promises of LNG are based on two large, and three medium-sized plants. BC govt. is expecting much more. #bcpoli
Best maybe-promise in today's BC throne speech: eliminating the provincial sales tax a possibility. #bcpoli
RT @jordanbateman: @justine_hunter BC's eggs are in one proverbial basket! #bcpoli #hopeitworks
Holding out a promise that "in the year 2525" or some such date, the PST will be eliminated is fanciful, to say the least #bcpoli
