So the wee village of Valemont is getting $209,440. to "revitalize" its water system. No, no, ... "to help" revitalize its water system. "In the downtown core".
this wonderful programme will create "up to" 88,000 new jobs.
This is a very strange announcement for a $14BILLION project. Why such a very brief explanation for a very big promise?
Is this something like "I will not sell BC Rail ..." which ended up also getting "re-vitalized" ... secretly?
