How many voted in the poll?
5?
When you vote and the percentages don't change then it was more than 100!

CFAX poll at 2:45pm is YES 48%, NO 52%: http://www.iheartradio.ca/cfax-1070
CFAX hasn't published respondent count for several years but could be that most of the respondents might reflect the profile of its listeners although I don't usually hear CFAX announcers advertising their online poll.
At 9am this morning, CFAX Adam Stirling had Brian Burchill on for interview, followed couple hours later by Barb Desjardins and at around noon, Susan Low (Esquimalt councillor). If there was any persuasion from Burchill it would be towards NO, for Desjardins towards YES, and Low might be equivocal YES-NO (as previous Green Party candidate, she has spoken out against CRD sewage plans in 2013 and occasionally since then repeated her concerns.
Too bad that CFAX no longer keeps full podcasts of its transmissions. At least, I couldn't find the Burchill, Desjardins or Low interviews.

Good for them for holding the contractor accountable but that is the exception rather than the rule. Usually politicians and civil servants are far too willing to overlook issues or try and brush them under the carpet because they don't want to deal with the fallout and accusations that they didn't properly procure or manage the contract.
I wonder if the Province is planning to sue Cerner or IBM for the hundreds of millions wasted on Ihealth?

Like the JSBridge fiasco, most of the engineers, politicians and consultants will be long gone from the project well before the sewage plant treats it's first turd.

Marg Gardiner, president of the James Bay Neighbourhood Association, said her community has not received the same consideration as Esquimalt, even though it will bear the brunt of construction noise from drilling for the sewage main pipe
I nominate this guy for the Ultimate NIMBY award.

On the Level, witty commenter on VV, said he has not received the same consideration as Esquimalt, even though he will bear a steady stream of constant snivelling from those that cannot manage change during their lifetime.
Fixed it...

Excerpts:
A previous plan for McLoughlin Point, about eight years in the making, was shelved in 2014 when Esquimalt council refused to allow necessary zoning variances.
Last May, with provincial and federal funding deadlines looming, Community Minister Peter Fassbender stepped in. He took the process away from local politicians and turned it over to a panel called the Core Area Waste Water Treatment Project Board, headed by chairwoman Jane Bird.
“I know it’s been a long road getting here. It’s been an expensive road getting here, but at the end of the day, we have a project that is lower than the previous project to taxpayers cost wise, with a higher level of treatment,” Helps said.
Sewage plant could break ground in April: ‘Isn’t that something?’

Are there any outstanding law suits or other challenges to this crazy plan, or is it a fait accompli now?

Natives have made out well under the guidance of Curtis Grad. They get $480,000 for West Bay Marina improvements and all their legal and administrative costs covered by the CRD.
