The Greens posturing before the disastrous budget due out on Feb 17th... let's see what they can milk this (minority government) cow for 
The BC Green Party announced Monday that it will not renew an accord with the Premier David Eby's NDP when the deal expires next month, potentially undermining the stability of the provincial government with its one-seat majority.
The Greens issued a statement saying there were "undelivered or stalled" commitments from the governing New Democrats, with about two-thirds of the goals going unaccomplished in the first year of the agreement.
Jeremy Valeriote, the MLA for West Vancouver Sea-to-Sky, said the accord contained clear targets, including those related to health care, transit and electoral reform, and too many had been "stalled or sidelined" by the NDP.
"I'll note there's not even yet a plan to have public buses rolling on Highway 99," he told reporters at the legislature on Monday. "(Green Leader Emily Lowan) mentioned $50 million that was supposed to be sent bringing psychologists into the health-care system, $15 million on community health centres."
"This is what accountability looks like. It's calling out lack of action," he said of the Greens' decision against renewing the deal known as the Co-operation and Responsible Government Accord.

How bad is it? Well it’s no longer recoverable without a complete government reorganization with severe downsizing in the public service and a major cut to benefit expectations. Oh, and stop giving billions to First Nations.

And yet they continue to lead in polls and will probably win a majority in the next election.

A couple of cursory searches seem to indicate that it's possible to pay taxes on a paper value and then subsequently sell at a lower value and not recover the taxes paid. I am finding it difficult to believe that is actually the case.

Imagine having your business valued at 3 million if you sold it, but you have no plans to do so. Nonetheless, you’re taxed on that valuation. So you pay the tax every year. Then you sell the business for 1 million less than valuation. Then what? Well apparently the purchaser is taxed at the 3 million anyway.
Couldn’t think of a better way to kill off small business capitalism.
