I read yesterday (Sept 12) that the L.A. Olympics had a surplus of
$150 million. This prompted me to wonder how much B.C. would end
up in debt as a result of Expo 86. The reason for my pessimism is
that the ruling Social Credit government seems to be more interested
in creating monuments to themselves (e.g. the light rapid transit
system currently under construction) than in running the province in
an efficient manner. If you people back East don't know what Expo 86 is,
then B.C. could be in even more trouble than I thought seeings how
*you're* supposed to be more than willing to come out here and spend
*us* out of the recession.

Aware of Expo 86? You bet!
I saw the architectural model at the CNE (Canadian [sic] National Exhibition),
here in Toronto in August. Expo 86 is immense! And if reality lives up to
the way the model looks, it will be some playground.
