Can't get there from here

VANOC's security plans for the 2010 Olympics will ground regional air travel throughout B.C.

If there was any doubt that the '250' part of the province (i.e. the geographical bulk of it) is being regarded as an afterthought in the run-up to the Games, this would should remove it. Every day floatplanes touch down in Vancouver's Coal Harbour from places that are readily accessible only by those floatplanes. These are also places where VANOC won't pay for state-of-the-art security screening. What, there's no money left after all the tasers have been handed out? On any given day, the passengers on these planes may be coming to town on business, to do a little shopping. They could also be coming to Vancouver General or B.C. Children's for a complex and urgent operation. Hopefully, any given day doesn't fall between January and March of next year.
