British Columbians overwhelmingly oppose new $800M museum, poll findsThe poll showed 42 per cent of people questioned were \u0022strongly\u0022 opposed to the $800\u002Dmillion project. 'Close to 70 percent' I just want to know what the other 30% were smoking The thing British Columbians don't understand is that it's not that much money. It sounds like a lot but it isn't. Politicians salary eats up an exponential amount more than that. Just let them build it. It’s a tank of gas for every man woman and child if they just gave us the money back.
