kimmy Posted December 13, 2004 Report Posted December 13, 2004 "5 million on Black" is a reference to the gambling game of Roulette. It is a game of chance where a wheel spins, and the ball comes to rest on a slot with a color (black or red) and a number, with odds corresponding to the probability of your bet. The implication seems to be that the Campbell government's "careful fiscal planning" is nothing of the sort, and that their "reinvestment in the economy" is not based on solid planning. -kimmy Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

It is also a comment on how the Campbell Government broke their promise not to expand gambling in BC. Quote
