I think it is time for those of us in the north and rural areas to refuse to pay provincial taxes.  With these 2 lower mainland stooges ousting who we elected..........then turning around and using our tax payer dollars to fight and eliminate our jobs...........why would we pay for that?   If la la land wants it stopped, let the narrow minded fools pay for it themselves.   Besides it would be good for them to see just how much is made in the Energy Sector and sent down for their bike lanes and feel good fluff.  And if we start losing our jobs, I think we take our trailers and tents and park off in mid-Vancouver,  the kids can go to cheap daycare and the rest of us can smoke weed and be Insite regulars.......win-win!........let them see how their NIMBY mentality actually really hurts others.  To bad we in the NE cannot join Alberta, lower mainland are like a bizarre cult.
