The Liberal candidate in Delta South, as we all have observed, has run a one-issue campaign, if what he's been doing can be called that.
Bruce McDonald's one issue, on which we are presumably supposed to bite, is the tunnel, or the crossing, or whatever it is his government might deliver to us if he's elected.
What McDonald doesn't seem to have noted is that after May 14, there may not even be a Liberal government to deliver on the tunnel promises that have been floating around.
After May 14, as the polls appear to be noting, the Liberals may be on the other side of the legislature floor, and in the unlikely event that McDonald is elected, there won't be a bench back far enough for him to sit at.
And if, in the unlikely event the Liberals are again able to form government, think just for a split second about how any structure under or over the Fraser might be funded?
Tolls, good brothers and sisters. Tolls going north and tolls coming south.
Open your wallets, good folks of Delta South.
Of course a new crossing will be required. But if you go to the polling booth on Tuesday believing that a McDonald victory will somehow make it happen, the variables on this one add up to a very strange mess of pottage.
Vicki Huntington has worked, and will keep working with whatever government is formed in B.C.
She, too, travels our roads and when she's elected, will speak for all of Delta South - the people to whom she reports - to make the best possible crossing under or over the Fraser River happen.
