Of course, "what they had hoped for" means "enough to offset the massive deficit from Expo"... so we lose big either way. >> [BEGIN ASIDE: a question for BCers or Canadians: what in the >>world does a flashing green light mean at an intersection???

Actually, for even more confusion, I think that in Ontario a REGULAR flashing green light means "proceed with caution" too, but a RAPIDLY flashing green means "left turn". (Presumably for intersections where the gov't was too cheap to replace the lights by lights with arrow signals.) --Jamie. ...!seismo!ubc-vision!ubc-cs!andrews
