There's much opposition to the project, not just groups but municipalities too (including Vanncouver city) and, didn't the Libs just say the proposed twinning wouldn't happen untill after the Olympics? Wouldn't that effectively put the brakes on the project for at least 6 years? I don't think the BC Govt' has secured federal financing and even then, there will be a different group (if not a different party, maybe a different leader and cabinet) running the province in 2011 and who knows what their priorities will be?
