Dear Editor:
It is a tough (sorry, "prudent") budget, not just because B.C. is broke but because this is not an election year.
When the next provincial election campaign begins, however, a financial miracle will occur. The political equivalent of the Tooth Fairy will appear and - surprise! Goodies will rain from the sky unto voters, rich and poor, no matter how empty the government coffers are alleged to be.
"Re-elect us, and we will fix everything," the Photo-op Fairy will say. "You must realize that since we created this mess, we know best how to fix it."
We also will be warned not to vote for Adrian Dix. He doesn't look all that great in a hockey jersey.
Tony Eberts, New Westminster
