Oh, No. Not another one of those little half truths, half baked ideas from Rich Coleman

Coleman has been telling the public that he wants to save money by selling off the Liquor Distribution Branch to a Third Party..... and when questioned on the WHYs of his little scheme he hasn't been absolutely truthful.

He has said that the value of the land is $30 million.

Of course, you and I, who know where the Liquor Distribution Branch is, assume that its those two buildings, bounded by Rupert and East Broadway and the Railway line..... C N Railway line.

Not quite.

According to the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation, where they list off all of their assets...... for

2010/2011
2009/2010
2008/2009

There's this:

Any property that has a SkyTrain Station attached to it, is a Gold Mine just waiting to be developed and what does Coleman want to do...... it sounds like another one of those Boss deals that he struck on the Court House steps.   It appears that the only reason that the Minister wants to sell the Liquor Distribution Branch, other than the BC NDP's theory which might be true, is that to recover the lost $30,000,000 that he squandered on Uranium mining stoppage... thanks to a bungling Kevin Krueger, Mining Minister,  Coleman is willing to SELL the property!


The Public, British Columbians, really don't have a handle of where OUR property is around North America, other than those that are hired to "look after it", until the phone rings from Victoria (or China), and someone says  "SELL, SELL, SELL"

The SkyTrain Station is in the bottom right hand corner of this Screen Shot, just north of the railway. East Broadway is along the top of the photo; Nootka is to the left; Rupert is to the right!  That takes care of the Liquor Distribution Branch.

The property listed in the BC Investment Management Portfolio is the property directly adjacent to the Liquor Distribution Branch...... therefore Coleman may be correct when he says its worth $30,000,000 but he should be throwing in for good measure another chunk of property, that which hasn't been developed and the three high rise towers on East Broadway too!

East Broadway and Renfrew, down to the Railway tracks (aka as Hebb) and Nootka to Hebb

These TWO properties have TWO SkyTrain Stations!!!!!
