ROTHENBURGER: Horgan doesn’t deserve much applause for bailing on museum
IN POLITICS, discretion is sometimes the better part of valor.
Premier John Horgan has learned that lesson, as evidenced yesterday with his announcement that he’s suspending plans for a $789-million rebuild of the Royal B.C. Museum.
The government “made the wrong decision at the wrong time,” said Horgan, taking full responsibility for the screw-up and acknowledging that British Columbians are in no mood for it as they face rampant inflation. “I made the wrong call at the wrong time,” he admitted.
