    In 2002, Campbell’s Liberal government forecast operational spending of $25.6 billion. Horgan’s first budget forecast spending of $53.6 billion

    Wait, the operational budget has increased in 20 years? say its not so! $25.6B in 2002 money is equivalent to $44.71B in 2024 money, so the increase is only $8.9B. Thats crazy good! Cudo’s to the NDP


  • Even with what you said, that doesn’t change the fact that if OTHER people are taking transit, it still benefits the people who aren’t taking transit, which is what my comment was addressing.

    if 10% of people took transit instead of driving, then there would be 10% fewer people on the road, 10% fewer cars in parking lots, 10% less maintenance… all of which benefits you.
