Most Canadians don't even know that RCI exists. Even as a job creation project, the number of new jobs generated would be negligible. If this isn't a hoax and the transmitter were built in one of the few B.C. ridings held by the Liberals, it would be seen as a payoff or kickback for sending a Liberal MP to Ottawa.
