The Campbell administration must think you're stupid because only an idiot would buy the spin it put on two bad news announcements last week. Example one: over the past year, the province's welfare rolls have grown by 15 percent. So the government has decided to partly bankroll those additional costs by cutting other services for low-income and disabled British Columbians. But the government tried to sell that decision on Thursday by sending out an information bulletin under the headline, "Province Protects Services for Low-Income British Columbians." Can you believe it? Well, I can because that was the second time the government tried to pull a fast one in as many days.
