Christy Clark government takes on staff from Harper's and Alberta's ousted Conservative ranks

Nicholas Koolsbergen has been appointed an executive director in the B.C. government’s communications wing and will be paid between $80,000 and $113,000 a year. Lorian Belanger/ICI Radio-Canada

It appears out-of-work roughnecks from Alberta aren’t the only ones heading west across the Rockies in search of greener pastures.

Judging by a recent string of political appointments, British Columbia is also a hot destination for recently unemployed Stephen Harper Conservatives and staffers from Alberta’s defeated Conservative government.

There are 12 of these appointments. Being paid about $100,00 per year = $1.2 MILLION of OUR money!!

While disabled people have their transportation credit clawed back.

'Morally corrupt' does not even BEGIN to describe the ChristyLiberal Party that 'governs' us!

And do these 'new hires' live on the amount of money doled out to disabled and otherwise vulnerable people?

No, they do not have to 'live' on $900 per month. Their monthly income is roughly $8,000 per month or more if they make in excess of $100,000 per year.

But somehow Christy feels they are more 'deserving' of our money...

In another blow to B.C.'s nascent liquefied natural gas industry, AltaGas Ltd. is shelving the development of its Douglas Channel LNG plant near Kitimat.

The decision to halt work on the project was blamed on poor economic conditions and worsening global energy prices.

Shell postpones decision on LNG plant in Kitmat
"We believe the project could deliver LNG to Japan at very competitive prices," AltaGas CEO David Cornhill said Thursday.

"However, without a meaningful offtake agreement the consortium can no longer continue the development of the project."

AltaGas, along with its global partners in the project, had been aiming for the project near Kitimat, B.C., to begin exporting LNG in 2018.

The announcement comes just weeks after Shell Canada announced it was postponing its final investment decision (FID) on their huge LNG terminal proposal in Kitimat until the end of the year.
