You do know the majority of shareholders in large companies are just regular middle class people? Take ExxonMobile, for example. The company is owned by millions of shareholders who are invested either directly, in their pension funds or through their investments in mutual funds. In reality, relatively few shares are owned by the executives of ExxonMobil.

Lol. If you did not care this probably means you do not have a job. Because if you had a job you would be spending up to $2300 in cpp each year (double that if your self employed) and you would want to know where this money is going!

And if you hate globalization, you should have at least one conversation with one of the billion people in Asia, India or Africa that have been pulled out of poverty because of it!

Hilarity!

Well, I guess people being less materialist as a whole is better for everyone and the planet in the long run.

Fat chance that will happen though.

Feds pony up $20 million for Deltaport causeway

By Staff Writer - South Delta Leader

Updated: January 24, 2013 12:05 PM

The federal government will contribute $19.9 million, through its Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative (APGCI), to a $45-million overpass on the Deltaport Causeway, part of Port Metro Vancouver’s Deltaport Terminal, Road and Rail Improvement Project.

...

The two-lane overpass is expected to improve the efficiency, safety and fluidity of traffic to and from the terminal, by eliminating conflicts between rail and truck traffic. It will contribute up to 200,000 twenty-foot equivalent units of additional capacity annually at Deltaport.

Robin Silvester, President and CEO of PMV, said the Road and Rail Improvement Project aims to increase industrial density and container capacity at Roberts Bank, while easing the impacts the port on nearby communities.

Thanks for posting!

I believe T2 is supposed to be fully automated but who knows. Maybe the technology isn't quite there yet. If not that means 100s of very high paying jobs for Metro Vancouver.
