Great point Captain Hindsight, except the reality of the "social license" was never a secret - it's always been a ridiculous ruse trumpeted from career activists like Tides, Suzuki, and Pembina who shamelessly protest Canadian resource projects for a living - the "social license" is meaningless puff pushed by value-destroying (US funded) protesters who leach off Canada's first world services while attacking the resource industries with threats of "direct action". BC's growth industries under the Green/NDP are welfare, government unions, and "social justice" (and bikes lanes?). The NDP wasn't reduced to two seats in the legislature by accident but it seems the naive "progressives" from urban centres have a short memory - and for what? "Climate change" and housing affordability - because Horgan's going to fix foreign investment and immigration - totally believable but never mind the inconvenience of details, it's the symbolism that counts, or is it? The Green/NDP "manifesto" is a joke.
